DA charges cop who shot Rayshard Brooks with multiple felonies. It is certain that if this was a black cop or a white perpetrator, none of this would be happening.
The Evansville Police released bodycam footage of the June 2 officer-involved #shooting of 35-year-old Donald Woosley, Jr. The shooting took place at the 2900 block of Ree Street. Officers were told that Woosley Jr was walking around threatening people with a knife. They were also told that Woosley had a gas can and was threatening to set his mother’s house on fire. In the bodycam video, Evansville Police officers asked Woosley to drop his knife multiple times. He also had a gas can in his other hand. Officers kept backing up and asking him to drop his knife. After multiple times, officers fired multiple shots, hitting Woolsey in the arm and the abdominal area. Also, in the body cam video, the officer is shown applying a tourniquet to Woosley. The suspect was taken to the hospital and was expected to survive.
The Michigan State Police on Tuesday released video of a #shooting by a trooper of a man alleged to be armed with a knife on Monday afternoon. The video, which state police said was obtained from a surveillance camera in a nearby business, shows the man circling a stopped state police cruiser and then advancing toward the officer while the officer points a gun at him and backs up. The officer then shoots and the man falls to the ground. (Read the Full Story).
Garrett Rolfe, the Atlanta police officer fired after the killing of Rayshard Brooks last week, now faces 11 charges including felony murder, which could potentially lead to the death penalty, a Georgia district attorney announced Wednesday. A second officer, Devin Brosnan, is facing three charges, including aggravated assault, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard Jr. said at a news conference. During the announcement, Howard said that Brosnan had agreed to give a statement against Rolfe and become a "state's witness" -- but Brosnan's attorneys later disputed that claim. "He honestly told the DA’s office everything that happened during a lengthy interview yesterday," attorney Don Samuel told Fox News. "He will continue to tell the DA or the GBI (Georgia Bureau of Iinvestigation), or any other investigator what happened. But, he is absolutely not guilty of any crime and will not plead guilty and has not agreed to be a 'state’s witness.'" #WTF

Thick smoke from the Bighorn Fire blankets the Arizona sky as wildfire burning near Tucson scorches nearly 23,000 acres
An SUV spun out of control and went over a barrier on the Carquinez Bridge in Northern California on Tuesday night, plummeting more than 200 feet and killing the driver and three passengers. Dashcam video from another vehicle shows the SUV driving at a high rate of speed on Interstate 80 toward the bridge in Crockett, near San Francisco, before losing control and spinning out. It then went over the side and fell on a parked freight train. The Contra Costa County coroner identified the victims as Kyle Erickson, 19; Christopher Mata, 21; Cecilia Ayala, 22; and Perla Navarro, 19, who was two months pregnant. The California Highway Patrol is handling the investigation and said it doesn’t yet know what caused the crash.

Atlanta INtown reports, “A drive around Zone 6 indicated there was not the usual APD presence. A Georgia State Patrol unit was handling a two-car accident at Boulevard and Edgewood Avenue around 9 p.m. The APD’s precinct at Wellstar Atlanta Medical Center appeared empty. Down in Grant Park, the Zone 3 precinct was populated by Fulton County Sheriff units.” Social media chatter has been at a fever pitch all evening about walkouts in Zones 3 and 6. Police radio traffic in Zone 6 – which covers Inman Park, Old Fourth Ward, Virginia-Highland, and Reynoldstowns, among others – has gone quiet. Sgt. John Chaffee with APD’s public affairs unit denied the walkouts in a statement, but said there had been a higher than usual number of call outs.
