Rolfe fatally shot Rayshard Brooks during a scuffle last week after Rolfe tried to arrest Brooks for driving under the influence.
During the scuffle with Rolfe and another police officer, Brooks grabbed one of the officers taser guns and ran. He then proceeded to shoot a taser at Rolfe who returned fire and killed Brooks.
I am told that coppers are trained to consider a shot at them with a taser as the use of deadly force and that they may respond with gunfire.
Rolfe could now get the death penalty because of the Howard charge.
Here is what is going down on the streets

Breaking: Sources confirm Atlanta Police officers in zone 6 have walked out. Sources say they drove back to their precinct, turned in their keys and went home. Officers in zone 3 are allegedly doing the same. @CBS46 #ContinuingCoverage #Atlanta #BlueFlu pic.twitter.com/kgLuNwDalP— shon gables cbs46 (@shongables) June 18, 2020
Text from APD officer:— Johnny (Joey) Jones (@Johnny_Joey) June 18, 2020
“I can confirm the walk-off is real. Whole shifts have left and overnight shifts are refusing to come in”
And then there is this:Just got this email from an Atlanta police officer:— Steve Deace (@SteveDeaceShow) June 17, 2020
"Atlanta police officers are refusing to answer the radio and walking off of the job. The county can go screw themselves. If you want a society without police we’ll give you one. Let it burn!"

The country is on the edge of a breakdown largely because of decades of Lefty influence in government that has destroyed respect for civilization and rational thinking. Trump is the wrong guy to solve this kind of problem.
The radical Marxists behind the curtain smell blood.
There is an awful lot wrong with coppers but I fear the Marxists behind the curtain much more.
The takedown of coppers now is not going to lead to a Rothbardian world. It will lead to some form of Mao-style Cultural Revolution, where a tyrant, not afraid to kill, will emerge.
Don't get sucked into this anti-cop movement.
