📸 People gather at a memorial created to commemorate Rayshard Brooks at the Atlanta, Georgia, Wendy's where he was shot and killed by police in a struggle after failing a field sobriety test.
on Saturday, the firing of the officer who shot and killed Brooks and the other officer involved being yanked from the streets and placed on administrative leave.
“Yo, what’s up my man?” Bronsan asked Brooks."You good, you don’t need an ambulance or something like that? You just tired?" "It took me a few minutes to wake him up. I kept knocking, opened the door, shook him. Woke up super groggy, kind of smelt ... pretty good smell of alcohol beverage coming out of the car. Eyes are watery and glassy. ... He wasn't sure where he was and he's telling me he had one drink earlier."
Rolfe is seen administering the Breathalyzer, which according to the video, registered a blood-alcohol level of .108%, or slightly above the legal limit of .02%. But as soon as Rolfe and Bronsan begin to make the arrests, Brooks, without warning, began to struggle and within moments he is seen wrestling with both officers on the ground.MORE: 6 Atlanta police officers charged in forceful arrests of college students in car
Rolfe's body camera apparently dislodged and fell to the ground during the struggle but continued to record, capturing three gunshots. Just hours after the shooting, Shields, who had been police chief since 2016, submitted her resignation to Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms.
