US police officer charged with murder over shooting of unarmed black man – BBC News
A former police officer in the US state of Georgia has been charged with the murder of an unarmed black man.
Rayshard Brooks was shot twice in the back as he fled from two white officers in a car park in Atlanta.
Garrett Rolfe, who was sacked from the police force shortly after the shooting, could face the death penalty if he’s found guilty.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

We’ve gotten to the point as a society where we are normalizing someone grabbing a weapon from a cop and aiming at them. Ohhhh but it’s not a deadly weapon, he should get a pass! They shot him because he was black! 🥴🥴🥴

Wikipedia . .
On August 23, 2022, prosecutors announced that they had dropped all charges against both officers. The Special Prosecutor stated that “Based on the facts and circumstances confronting Officer Rolfe and Officer Brosnan in this case, it is my conclusion the use of deadly force was objectively reasonable and that they did not act with criminal intent”.

As a black man this is horrifying. All he wanted to do was steal their taser, tase them and take their weapons and kill them. So they shot him for THAT? Racism never died!

We all sense that the legal and judicial is bias and compromised. Trump has been an eye opener to say the least. Plus the celebs that got almost no punishment paying to have their kids entered in college. BUT Atlanta black educators get time like Alcapone. Laws are used as weapons against African Americans. Non violent affendants should not be prosecuted until Trump is jailed. HE has proven this system is flawed and in need of repairs.

well from what i see, non whites hate whites or have hidden resentment, so if those untouchable ones aka yalls with money, fuck up. guess the rest should pay for it (not that crime isnt more prevalent among certain groups ). god would say so , since most religions view dark as evil wonder what in the past came up with that idea, and nature states it as well, who eats first? and what happens if one anthill is poured upon another? whole benefit the colony thing that society is founded upon, meaning if those with money sabotage ours in some way shape or form , or become a competition, how does nature decide who wins? why are we different? lookin at half the poor whites out there, seems to have been a anti white agenda for a while now, who draged down who? whos doing better now than before? and should the stats be kept if they dont seem to do anything with them? seems to me the leadership is just using this as a means to remove the poors, while keeping the workers so worried about conflict they willingly get along. we freed the blacks and all became slaves, and seem to be funding it more and more each day. mean imagine it, if you bought a place to live, and enough food for your lifetime and planed on dying a natural death and not having any more bills, you cant, only way u can life free is being homeless. and they try to play a class conflict to prevent a racial one, poors and at risk people "hey blacks are right cuz i dislike the cops", rich people "if we hate all of them then we look as bad as these guys and the poors will get us" the cops " the rich blacks act white, and the poor whites act black" so how will being poor not become a crime at some point? and why work to fund this?, cuz people who claim to accept difference, for some reason wana be surrounded by like minded people, and mix them all into one? assume its a way to cleanse the poors at a later date when working class is unnecessary and not have people crying racism cuz all mixed? all this while slowly destroying the rest of the world , to ship more people over? only reason we r told to get along is cuz we naturally wouldnt, and its more profitable, if people just shut up and go back to work. mean if you see what options people have to harm one another and how little it actually happens , youd realize most people naturally keep distance from stuff thats seen as different thus preventing conflict, to the point we developed our own languages, so to say god or nature would design everything like this and expect peace, is absurd. history of blacks leads me to understand why the cops are jumpy around yall, 2nd amendment understood how freedom works, and how if and when a split in society or a problem arises, depending on whos in power, being disarmed may be bad, mean imagine the old days this group of peasants taking up space and not providing enough money from taxes, and blip remove and replace them, america is ruled by whites with no racial loyalty, what makes you think they care about any of us? look how even our allies hate us, supporting the others just to cause more division. white americans will forever be hated for doing our own thing, and being able to out compete the others, mean look how our industrialization in the 1800s caused the poverty that lead to ww1 and ww2, allot of them had to get rid of their poors what better way than war? reconcentrate the money, they even disguised a typhus epidemic as a genocide to hide their shame and justify it. if ya hated walmart killing small businesses imagine the rest of the world as small businesses and we r walmart, even our politics rigged, they always play opposites to keep ppl inline and as i said keep a level of class division, way they go about it makes me wonder if they got the minds of low level workers in management positions, hence why its such a balancing act, idiots trying to carry multiple plates in one hand, like some kinda cripple. understandable thats how it started seeing as whites needed unified here, odd that those incharge just copy those before them and have no other plans, um remove poors who arnt submissive and maintain a working class by allowing them the minimal to be content with life , and mix those with money(dosnt seem american, mean a caste system is a caste system right? but pro white is bad? ). brawndo its what plants crave xD personally idc humans are a odd creature, why are we still necessary? and what happens after? you work and benefit your kids, which is good, while making them more reliant upon society, to the point eventually a one world gov will arise or has, at which point where do you run when the utopia turns on you? or sees u as a negative? or no longer useful? goes for management as well as working class, and is it worth building it up more? you buying satallite tv, may one day be what funds your own children geting bombed from the sky. the ammo shortage with 3-5x the cost per round, goes to show you, buying ammo in a time of potential unrest just funds them more so, imagine every bullet bought in 2020 during the price increase, providing them with 3-4, all so youre never allowed to get outa work since your necessary to reach w/e future goals they seem to have, kinda funny tbh keep everyone so busy theyre never a real threat or competition, be happy with what u got, while slowly losing everything you have and or work for, and not working isnt a option since hey they like that gives em reason to remove ya, or shun ya from society, mean cant even really trade stuff without owing them money and knowing how life like this may upset people, makes me wonder how long we can even trust the food. with inflation and everything else, minimum wage is less money now than in the 70s, larger number lower value, so expect more crime and drugs, cuz they need to remove people and prevent any problems that may spread, each side plays champion to different groups while removing the lower ends outa fear since larger numbers and if worked together would be able to destroy everything above them ^-^ ☼.☼

You’ll never ever ever hear a White person getting shot for a single routine traffic stop. They don’t even pull out their guns on whites yet blacks are always assumed armed and dangerous when in fact 99% of them are unarmed. Is the W vs the Bs aka Whites get WARNINGS while Blacks get BULLETS. This is an extremely racist and unfair practice of American law enforcement and we must fight to stop this from repeating itself. NOT EVERY AFRICAN AMERICAN IS A CRIMINAL AS THE MEDIA OFTEN PORTRAY!!! Blacks are well educated, respectful and simply looking for peace and acceptance. They literally bother no one yet cops and whites always have an issue with them. My therapy is they hate to see black people happy, joyful, successful and independent. Get use to it because their day is on the horizon. They made it this far while enduring much harsher lifestyles in the Jim Crow era and they will rise up greater and stronger than ever. Your hate only empowers the black community so keep on hating while they continue rising and thriving. Hate never wins.
