Atlanta, Georgia — The Atlanta Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation have released officer bodycam, dashcam and surveillance video of the events leading up to the fatal shooting of Rayshard Brooks, 27.
Brooks was fatally shot by an Atlanta police officer in the parking lot of a Wendy’s off University Avenue Friday night. The shooting led to the resignation of Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields and Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms called for the immediate termination of the officer. The footage shows Officers Garrett Rolfe and Devin Brosnan speaking to Brooks for nearly 30 minutes on suspicion of DUI after apparently finding him asleep behind the wheel of his car in the drive-thru line of a Wendy’s restaurant.
After failing a field sobriety test, officers attempted to place Brooks into custody and a struggled ensued. The APD officer deployed a taser and during the struggle, Brooks grabbed and was in possession of the taser. Footage shows that Brooks has the taser in in his hand, runs a relatively short distance, and then appears to turn around and point the taser at the Atlanta officer.
