Paul Howard, district attorney for Fulton County in Georgia, where the shooting happened, said Rolfe's response to the killing would make it hard to argue self-defense.
'If that shot was fired for some reason other than to save that officer’s life or prevent injury to him or others, then that shooting is not justified under the law.'
Rayshard Brooks police shooting was homicide, says medical examiner https://t.co/lxEv5bUHDv

Brooks’s fatal encounter with police came after an employee of a Wendy’s in Atlanta phoned authorities to say that someone had fallen asleep in his car in the restaurant’s drive-through lane.
Recorded on the officer’s body camera and a surveillance camera, the encounter seemed friendly at first as Brooks cooperated with a sobriety test and talked about his daughter’s birthday.

“I watched the interaction with Mr Brooks and it broke my heart,” Atlanta’s mayor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, said on CNN. “This was not confrontational. This was a guy that you were rooting for.”
But when an officer moved to arrest him, Brooks struggled with him and another officer at the scene before breaking free and running across the parking lot with what appears to be a police Taser in his hand, a bystander’s video showed.
A video from the restaurant’s cameras shows Brooks turning as he runs and possibly aiming the Taser at the pursuing officers before one of them fires his gun and Brooks falls.
Bottoms said on Saturday: “I do not believe this was a justified use of deadly force.”
Brooks 氏が逃走中、振り返ったとき、警官から奪ったテイザーをたぶん警官に向けた、そして、警官は2発銃を撃った、そして、「仕留めた!」と警官は叫んだ、と。
警官側の弁護士としては、正当防衛か、少なくとも誤想防衛を主張してくるだろうね。
Who is Rayshard Brooks, 27-year-old black man killed by Atlanta police?
Rayshard Brooks, the 27-year-old black man who was fatally shot by an Atlanta police officer, had been celebrating his daughter's birthday on the night of his death, lawyers for his family said in a news conference Saturday. Brooks was killed during a confrontation with two white police officers late Friday night.
Attorney L. Chris Stewart said Brooks had planned on taking his 8-year-old daughter skating for her birthday. "She had her birthday dress on. She was waiting for her dad to come pick her up and take her skating," he said Saturday.
Brooks admitted to having a few drinks for his daughter's birthday,
8歳の娘の誕生日で数杯、酒を飲んで、これからその娘をスケートに連れて行くはずだった。娘は着替えて父親が来るのを待っていた、と。
ーーー不幸な事件だね。
