Rayshard Brooks was kicked, denied medical care: The stunning allegations against ex-Atlanta police officer Garrett RolfeBrooks 'never presented himself as a threat'
Brooks' cordial and cooperative demeanor before the attempt to arrest him played a major role in the determination to present charges, Howard said.
For 41 minutes and 17 seconds, Brooks "never presented himself as a threat," Howard said. He "never displayed any aggressive behavior.
His demeanor was so nonthreatening, that during the stop, the officers took Brooks at his word when he said a bulge in his pants was a wad of bills rather than any kind of weapon."

There was fear in Rayshards eyes, and it went on far too long. That officer was wanting resistance and Rayshard gave him none!
That man was an arrogant cop with a god complex. I hope they lock him up and throw away the key!

I heard that, Rolfe faces the death penalty. He has just turned himself in and CNN showed a head shot of him, he has dead eyes.

Theres a special place in hell waiting for this cop!
