WARNING: Video contains disturbing images. Viewer discretion is advised.
The Atlanta Police Department has released body and dash camera footage of the interaction before the fatal shooting of 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks in a Wendy's parking lot on Friday night. Officers had stopped Brooks on a suspected DUI. The video has been edited and does not show the entire interaction which lasted over 40 minutes.
More than 40 minutes elapses between the time Officer Devin Brosnan first knocks on Brooks’ car door while he’s in Wendy’s drive-thru and when gunshots ring out; Officer Garrett Rolfe arrives on scene about 16 minutes in. The shooting is audible in footage from Rolfe’s dash camera and both officers’ body cameras, but wasn’t captured on any of the four recordings provided by police. Both body cameras fall off during the struggle that ensues when Rolfe moves to handcuff Brooks after speaking to him for about 20 minutes, although Brooks is briefly glimpsed being Tased before he’s shot. Rolf was fired after the incident and Brosnan was placed on administrative duty, according to the police department on Sunday.
The Friday night killing of Brooks sparked a new wave of protests in Atlanta after turbulent demonstrations over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis had simmered down.
