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

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.

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.
