The attorney for a former Atlanta police officer facing a charge of felony murder in the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks last week told “The Ingraham Angle” in an exclusive interview Wednesday that several claims made by the district attorney when he announced the charges were “not true.”
Lance LoRusso also told host Laura Ingraham that he was “kind of getting tired of people saying that Mr. Brooks was running away.
“Mr. Brooks was not running away,” he said. “Mr. Brooks turned and offered extreme violence toward a uniformed law enforcement officer. If he was able to deploy the Taser, it would incapacitate Officer [Garrett] Rolfe through his body armor, and at that point, if he decided to disarm another officer, he would be in possession of a firearm.”
Ingraham told LoRusso that Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard Jr. appeared to emphasize the early part of the encounter in which Brooks is seen speaking cordially with Rolfe — LoRusso’s client — and Devin Brosnan, rather than the later scuffle with the officers in which Brooks steals one of their stun guns.
