In the latest developments regarding the shooting of Rayshard Brooks by an Atlanta cop in a Wendy’s parking lot, it was discovered that Brooks had a serious criminal background including child endangerment, and the officer who killed him, Garrett Wolfe had a long disciplinary history including excessive use of force.
According to court records, there was a fugitive warrant out for his(Brooks) arrest on Dec. 30, 2019, for violation of probation to notify the community of his new address, and failure to complete theft prevention class for the original offenses of false imprisonment, cruelty to children, family violence, battery, and simple battery.
He was later arrested in Ohio on behalf of the state of Georgia on Jan. 6, 2020, according to documents obtained by The Gateway Pundit.
In a video posted on his YouTube channel on May 24, Brooks said he was waiting for probation to give him an interstate compact for his probation. A compact is the only legal mechanism in the country for the interstate transfer of the parole or probation of an adult criminal.
“It’s been two or three weeks now I’ve spoken with probation and I haven’t heard anything back,” he also shared in the video, which is a recording of an online call with another individual. “I’ve been doing my part, but the moment I do something out of hand, back to jail I go”- from Brook’s YouTube video posting.
These revelations have received little attention from the media. It was also reported that former officer Garrett Rolfe, had been investigated for his conduct 12 prior times by Atlanta Police Dept.
Friday’s shooting is the twelfth time Atlanta Police Department’s Office of Professional Standards has investigated Rolfe, in his almost seven years with the department, according to a summary released by the department. Four of the complaints were filed by citizens between 2015 and 2018. One of those complaints was “not sustained” and he was completely exonerated in the other three.
In October 2017, APD issued a written reprimand to Rolfe after internal affairs ‘sustained’ an allegation of improper use of force involving a firearm. We don’t know any of the details of these internal investigations yet, because APD has only released a summary of the disciplinary records.
