The former police officer accused of fatally shooting Rayshard Brooks was involved in a 2015 incident where a black man was presumably shot by officers during a car chase and arrest, according to court records and police incident reports obtained by CNN.

Garrett Rolfe, currently facing felony murder and other charges for shooting and killing Brooks outside an Atlanta fast-food restaurant nearly two weeks ago, was one of three officers who in August 2015 fired their weapons at a suspect who was attempting to flee in a stolen truck, the court records indicate. The officers fired five shots, and the suspect, Jackie Jermaine Harris, was struck once in the back, according to court testimony obtained by CNN.

Nunn says, he was shot at by Rolfe three times, with one shot coming from each of the other two officers.During that same hearing, Downs admonished the officers for not including the shooting in the incident report."None of the police put in the report that they shot the man, none of them," Downs said, according to a transcript of the hearing."And they sent him to Grady with collapsed lungs and everything, and the report doesn't mention it.

OF COURSE COME ON IT IS ONLY HURTING AMERICA THESE BAD ACTIONS

Trial by media. Burn him!!!

More fake news...Or should I say more Racist news against our Police...

So what u don’t know all the facts as usual. CNN the master of biased and fake news

These aggressive cops will always continue with their heinous acts. Remove any police officers with bad records on the police rosters. They do the same with nurses, interpreters etc, why not the police?

It was a justified shooting. Stop with your nonsense

AND

It's OJ Simpson vs. the World all over again, y'all!

So he’s a hero! He shot two dirty thugs. Give that man a medal!

Fan the flames, CNN

Blacks commit a disproportionate amount of crime compared to their population percentage.

5 years. He was an officer correct? I’m sure he had contact with many incidents over those years but go ahead and make him out to be a monster. Sad

Thanks for the additional proof that he's a good cop

subversivesloth During a car chase? Youd probably feel a little differently if the guy running from police had hit your mother or your daughter at in intersection.

So?

So? He is innocent.

DA is the biggest loser her overcharging him. This guy gonna walk free.

root in jail

This is Murder! Same as those Ex-Officers Involved In GEORGE FLOYD’s MURDER...!

BlackCrimesMatter

DA Howard can't overcharge the police officers for political reasons and to hide his own crimes.

badcop

The police officers were not well trained, he had no guts, and he could not handle suspicious persons without a gun.👎

Prosecute him.

If one were to see serial killer captured headline over that picture would you say 'i knew it'?

CNN have a police record of the beaters who upload videos daily

I don't even buy this. If Rayshard's shot killed the officer, it would be okay for the Blacks? I think Black Lives Matter is now the worst pandemic.

Yes the suspect was using this stolen vehicle as a weapon ramming the police car trying to harm or kill an officer possibly. Again comply with the police and you will go home if your not breaking the law or take responsibility for your actions.

It is difficult for some of us to understand the superior complex, human disregard, and recklessness of officers like this. It is a disgrace.

Innocent until proven guilty Oh wait doesn’t apply to Police Officers anymore because of rush to judgement hypocrites like CNN.

He doing his job.Fake News..

According to all comments, sound liked America is breaking apart, good for the rest of the world.

so black man was doing something really stupid and it led to a shooting?shocker

During this 'insightful' investigation into this cops background can we get a full report about every encounter he had not just black I'd really like to know seriously Like everyday details of his encounter with whites Black's Indian Latino and so on Detail analysis

In all, he committed murder, let justice be served

In Atlanta what are the odds?

This headline doesn’t hint at how the judge saw the defendant wounded in court and asked how he got injured and mentioned being shot during his arrest. No one mentioned he was shot in the paperwork, ever. Judge was fuming and reported it. Nothing happened.

Ok?

Corrupt, demonic coverup artists. These are not cops. They are psychotic murdering criminals preying on the public. Protect and serve? Alternative facts.

This article basically says: “We don’t don’t have any concrete or solid info... just conflicting reports, but we’re gunna post it in order to perpetuate that this man was evil.”

After non-stop coverage by MSM some of which are Anti-American. It becomes impossible to find an unbiased venue. Innocent or Guilty it'll be extremely hard to have a lawyer sort this out.

Does that prove something? When will role models start teaching young men to stop resisting arrest?

I have a feeling this is extremely misleading.
