Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard told “Cuomo Prime Time” Tuesday that the case against the former Atlanta police officer who shot Rayshard Brooks “has very little to do with a taser.”

Former Atlanta police officer Garrett Rolfe faces felony murder charges after firing the shots that killed Brooks, who had resisted arrest, fought police, grabbed a taser, ran, then turned around and fired that taser back at Rolfe before getting shot himself.

Howard told CNN host Chris Cuomo that the emphasis of the case should be not on the taser, but rather on why “African Americans continue to get killed by police officers.”

So Officer Rolfe is being tried for the false belief that "African Americans continue to get killed by police officers"? The State of Georgia needs to step in and step on this DA!

[LMAO]

This out of control district attorney knows he’s not getting any conviction. He’s setting himself up as a hero to the black community to try to save his candidacy

why “African Americans continue to get killed by police officers.”

I am not going to speak on all the cases,  but on this one.
1) He was released early from a 7 year sentence for abusing his children.
2) He had already violated his parole once for a DUI.
3) This was his second DUI.
4) He resisted arrest>
5) He assaulted a police officer.
6) He fired a dangerous weapon at a police officer during the commission of a crime.
7) He attempted to evade arrest.

Yeah about covers it.
