Second officer in Brooks shooting released on bond

(18 Jun 2020) Officer Devin Brosnan was released soon after surrendering at Fulton County Jail in Atlanta on Thursday, after a superior court judge signed bond documents. The 26-year-old is the second police officer involved in Rayshard Brooks shooting, a 27-year-old black man. Brosnan stood on Brooks' shoulder as he struggled for his life, according to District Attorney Paul Howard. The district attorney gave Brosnan and now-former officer Garrett Rolfe until 6 p.m. Thursday to surrender. Brosnan was charged with aggravated assault and violating his oath. The district attorney said Brosnan is cooperating with prosecutors and will testify, saying it was the first time in 40 such cases in which an officer had come forward to do so. Prosecutors brought murder charges Wednesday against the white Atlanta police officer who shot Rayshard Brooks in the back, saying that Brooks was not a deadly threat and that the officer kicked the wounded black man and offered no medical treatment for over two minutes as he lay dying on the ground. Brooks, 27, was holding a stun gun he had snatched from officers, and he fired it at them during the clash, but he was running away at the time and was 18 feet, 3 inches from Officer Garrett Rolfe when Rolfe started shooting, Howard said in announcing the charges. Stun guns have a range of around 15 feet. The felony murder charge against Rolfe, 27, carries life in prison or the death penalty, if prosecutors decide to seek it. He was also charged with 10 other offenses punishable by decades behind bars. The decision to prosecute came less than five days after the killing outside a Wendy's restaurant rocked a city — and a nation — already roiled by the death of George Floyd under a police officer's knee in Minneapolis late last month. But an attorney for Brosnan emphatically denied he had agreed to be a prosecution witness and said he was not pleading guilty to anything.
