Atlanta police officer Devin Brosnan, one of the two officers involved in the fatal shooting of Rayshard Brooks, suffered a concussion and other injuries during the altercation with the 27-year-old, the officer’s attorney revealed during a Wednesday discussion with CNN’s Chris Cuomo.

“Devin ends up taking out his Taser and yelling at him to ‘stop fighting, stop fighting,’” said Don Samuel, an attorney for Brosnan. “Mr. Brooks grabbed the Taser from him and shoots … Devin gets shot with the Taser.”

At that point, Brosnan fell over, landed on the pavement, and got a concussion, Samuel explained, adding that prosecutors in the case did not examine the medical records of the officer.

Brosnan and former officer Garrett Rolfe responded to incident in a Wendy’s parking lot on Friday, leading to the deadly altercation with Brooks, who resisted arrest after failing a field sobriety test, leading to a struggle with both officers. During the altercation, Brooks obtained an officer’s taser and attempted to flee the scene, which led to a chase.

“Officers pursued Brooks on foot and during the chase, Brooks turned and pointed the Taser at the officer.  The officer fired his weapon, striking Brooks,” the Georgia Bureau of Investigation stated.

Per the New York Post:

    Samuel said the concussed Brosnan didn’t even realize Brooks had been shot when he “put his foot on the arm to make sure he didn’t have access to a weapon” as he lay on the ground.

    “It’s not an assault. It’s a man suffering from a concussion,” he added.

Wait a minute.
Let me get this straight, ok? (I'm dumb)

The perp grabbed one of the tasers, ran, turned, then fired and hit one of the officers?
And the shot put the officer down?
Then the other officer returned fire with his weapon...?

And the officer who shot the perp is being charged for murder?

What's going on here?
Sounds like he's "gettin' railroaded".
(And I oughta know, I ran trains for 32 years)

No wonder Atlanta cops (perhaps even black cops) are walking off their jobs.

Sumthin' tells me that the Georgia governor (who I assume has control over the prosecutors of the state) had better intervene on this one...
