1. This is good news.

[RT Atlanta]

2. Good...

they'll get their 'judged by 12' moment

[sheshe2]

3. Good.

[Nevilledog]

4. For which case?

Pulling the college kids outta the car or the Brooks shooting?

[Locrian]

5. I know - can't keep up. I wish posts had a tiny bit more context - nt

9. Rayshard Brooks, the Black man shot in the back running from the cops

[Locrian]

10. thanks!

[irisblue]

13. NPR is saying Felony Murder charge, live right now at 3:53 pm

Wow

[Locrian]

14. historic shift if they start charging more cops

not that there wasn't evidence before.

But his may finally be part of the dam breaking (hopefully) on every one of them being above the law

7. Brooks

[Nevilledog]

8. Thanks.

Figured it out when I saw another OP.

[Ilsa]

19. I haven't heard anything, but I wonder if

the city is going to settle with the two young people so there doesn't have to be a trial.

[Nevilledog]

20. I believe charges have been filed against some of the cops. Some were fired.

[Nevilledog]

21. 6 cops charged. 4 fired

Two more officers were fired after this article was published.

6. Why is that one guy wearing his mask under his nose?

Might as well not wear it.

[Nevilledog]

11. ...

[GoCubsGo]

12. They're throwing the book at them.

Good.

[Ilsa]

15. One officer kicked Brooks while he was lying there dying.

If he was already dead, they were abusing and desecrating the body.

[exboyfil]

16. And the other cop stood on him

He is going to become a state's witness according to the DA.

Also failure to render aid and shooting into a line of cars.

[Ilsa]

18. Yes, the news of the bullet in the white SUV was news to me.

I'm glad aggravated assault is filed.

[Ilsa]

17. One of the cars in the drive-thru took a bullet!

Charges for aggravated assault are also filed.

22. Perfectly justifiable charges

Since the incident, things are looking worse and worse for the cops. I would put it at Floyd level. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rolfe gets a life sentence even though it has been so hard to convict officers of murder.

23. Justice. Thank goodness for video coverage. nt
