This case was badly handled from the beginning and now it’s coming to an ignominious end. A special prosecutor in Georgia has announced that charges will be dropped against two officers involved in the death of Rayshard Brooks:

A Georgia special prosecutor announced Tuesday that murder and assault charges will be dismissed against two Atlanta police officers involved in the fatal shooting of Rayshard Brooks in June 2020, saying the officers acted reasonably in response to a deadly threat.

“Both acted as reasonable officers would under the facts and circumstances of the events of that night,” special prosecutor Peter Skandalakis said. “Both acted in accordance with well-established law and were justified in the use of force regarding the situation.”…

Former Gwinnett County District Attorney Daniel Porter provided video analysis in the press conference Tuesday. He explained Georgia officers are allowed to use deadly force when faced with a deadly weapon, including a Taser, so prosecutors determined the shooting was legal…

“Was it objectively reasonable that (Rolfe)can use deadly force? We determined it was,” Skandalakis said.

In case you’ve forgotten how this went down, here’s my original write-up of the shooting. Some of the tweets and video I included have been deleted (or accounts have been suspended) but the bulk of it is still there. Basically, police were called when Brooks fell asleep in the drive-thru line of a Wendy’s. A breathalyzer test showed he was intoxicated and therefore couldn’t leave in his car.

No charges filed against Officers Garrett Rolfe and Devin Brosnan.

Blacktivist DA tried to use the officers to prop up his career. Like Marilyn Mosby, except he had been a DA for 2 decades and got voted out more quickly (she finally lost in the 2022 primary).

ETA: Brooks was killed 2 years and 2 months ago. The officers were in the shadow of legal jeopardy for 2 bleeping years than they should have been, IMO! Oh, and the 6th Amendment:

Sixth Amendment

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
