| Atlanta Police Walk Out After District Attorney Charges Former Officer With Murder |
| 2020-06-18 |
| [Federalist] Cops are fighting back after a district attorney charged former officer Garrett Rolfe and officer Devin Brosnan over the shooting of Rayshard Brooks. The Democratic district attorney of Fulton County, Paul Howard, gave a bewildering press conference on Wednesday in which he announced a felony murder charge against Rolfe. If convicted, Rolfe faces a possible death sentence. At the press conference, the district attorney nitpicked the officers who were attacked while mischaracterizing the violent suspect as "not a threat" and "almost jovial" in his interaction with police. Another Gentle Giant™ Officers have reportedly stopped answering 911 calls, turned in their keys and failed to show up to their shifts. Added Via Conservative Treehouse: There is something rather unusual about the way DA Paul Howard framed the encounter between the police and Rayshard Brooks, because CCTV video and body-cam footage do not support the district attorney’s version of events. Obviously in a courtroom the defense is going to replay the DA statements while they run simultaneous footage of Mr. Rayshard Brooks resisting arrest, fighting with police and ultimately taking one of the officers’ tasers to use as a weapon. The highly coordinated press conference narrative, as outlined by what seems like a not very astute district attorney, is very much at odds with what most people have already seen in the videos of the encounter. The purposeful disconnect gives the impression that DA Brooks is intentionally trying to throw the court case in advance. There’s something very sketchy going on in the political background…. and I cannot help but wonder if Paul Howard Jr. is planning to be defeated in the next election (he seems in trouble) and is, as an intentional and self-centered plan, trying to set-up his political successor with a lose/lose scenario. The eleven charges which include felony murder seem positioned from a district attorney who knows he won’t be around to deal with the case details. Howard can present himself as the community hero today and force his successor into the role of legal villain. That scenario is exactly what this looks like. Recently: ATLANTA — Fulton County’s long-time district attorney faces two separate state investigations, but it could be voters who remove him from office. The lead investigative agency, The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI), didn’t even know the press conference was going to be held today [LINK] and they have not completed their investigation. They had no idea the DA was going to file charges: Related: Rayshard Brooks: 2020-06-17 Rayshard Brooks was on probation for four crimes - including cruelty to children - and faced going back to prison if charged with a DUI, when he was found asleep and intoxicated at Wendy's drive-thru Rayshard Brooks: 2020-06-16 The Official Response To The Shooting Of Rayshard Brooks Should Alarm Everyone Rayshard Brooks: 2020-06-16 Video appears to show a white woman setting fire to Wendy's in Atlanta |

| #13 Soros bought off the district attorneys and judges very early on. Now, you can only sit back and watch criminals and chaos dismantle everything your fathers have built, while the judge's function is only to protect them against you and the few agencies of defence that remain. This is not acceptable. And it won't resolve itself by voting for someone or hoping for the best. The power of the judiciary shall have to be taken from them somehow. Maybe resigning police can coordinate militias and citizens can raise their own community law enforcement ? I know its very 'Walking Dead', and the enemy seems to control the FBI who have considerable resources. It's a rather difficult time. I only pray to God this great nation and its industrious children can fight off the enemy before it's too late. America was the first and is the last bastion of classical liberty in the world. And that's why it's such a threat to those opposed to liberty. |

| #9 Fox: Howard, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, is under criminal investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation for allegedly taking at least $140,000 in Atlanta taxpayer dollars to supplement his salary through his nonprofit. |

| #6 This officer is way "overcharged" (if he should be charged at all). |

| #4 Given the DA is black and most likely a rabid leftist, this should come as no surprise. The cops should announce they are going on strike for a week. There would be a second burning of Atlanta. |

| #3 #1 same in 1861. Many of the Southern upper class were afraid of losing their 'property'. Today, as the white upper class personified by the Socialist/Democratic party feared losing their 'property', in this case votes rather than labor. |

| #1 I'm beginning to think that the main problem in USA is not the "black" underclass, but the "white" upper class. |
