He said the investigation had taken into account both officers' bodycam and dashcam footage, Wendy's surveillance footage, civilian cell phone footage and several eye witnesses three of whom were present at the conference today.
Howard said that Brooks presented no threat to the officers who knew that the Taser he had stolen had been deployed twice and therefore rendered useless.
Howard stated, 'Once Mr Brooks was shot there is an Atlanta policy that requires that the officers have to provide timely medical attention.
'But after Mr Brooks was shot for 2 minutes and 12 seconds there was no medical attention applied to Mr Brooks.
'What we discovered is during the 2 minutes and 12 seconds that officer Rolfe kicked Mr Brooks while he laid on the ground fighting for his life.
'The other officer, officer Brosnan stood on Mr Brooks's shoulders while he was there struggling for his life.
He concluded, 'Based on the way these officers conducted themselves that the demeanor immediately after the shooting did not reflect any fear or danger but reflected other kinds of emotion.'

(12,712 posts)It sounds like a great job for sadistic serial killers who have just a little patience while awaiting each victim. Not only do you get the thrill of the kill, but you get pay, benefits and impunity. The opportunity to inflict pain and death is almost unlimited. What's to not like?
That should be in the want ads for today's police, especially if they are going to hire them, keep them on the force and even support and protect that kind of behavior.

Not all white people but WAY WAY more than the 45% which self identify as GOP, of course they are rabid racists, but MANY others are as well.
MLK JR talked about the white so called moderates and did so with concern:

(5,969 posts)It simply has to be against the law to not only deliberately delay medical help but to also further attack a victim they shot. When does intent become part of the equation? Those murderers wanted to make sure they got their kill. They are animals who shouldn't be allowed near weapons because they will kill again.
And now imagine how many racist pigs got away with these lynchings, cheered on by their unions.
