\n The director of Georgia\u2019s police training center said the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks was tragic, yet justified \u2013 as he analyzed the three key decisions the two Atlanta cops made during their fateful encounter with him, according to a report.<\/p>\n

Chris Wigginton, who runs the Georgia Public Safety Training Center for nearly all law-enforcement officers in the state, broke down the actions of officers Garrett Rolfe and Devin Brosnan on Friday night, when Brooks was spotted asleep at the wheel in a Wendy\u2019s drive-thru lane.<\/p>\n

In the first decision, Rolfe sought to arrest the 27-year-old rather than let him walk home or call for a ride since they never saw him driving under the influence on a public road, Fox 5 Atlanta reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe tell each officer it\u2019s up to them based on the circumstances going on in that case,\u201d Wigginton told the news<\/a> outlet. \u201cI don\u2019t know if APD has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to drunk drivers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brooks registered a .108 percent blood-alcohol level \u2013 above the .08 legal limit.<\/p>\n

Wigginton \u2014 who was a state trooper for 18 years \u2014 said the law allowed police to make a DUI arrest on private property.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think under the climate we live in today, the number of fatalities we have on the roadways, I think the days of calling someone to be picked up are pretty much over,\u201d he told Fox 5.<\/p>\n

But Brooks resisted arrest, Wigginton noted, and fled after grabbing an officer\u2019s Taser.<\/p>\n

The two cops the made a second decision \u2013 to chase him even though they had his vehicle and ID.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you get into an altercation, our job is to make arrests,\u201d Wigginton said. \u201cAnd sometimes that takes using force. Sometimes that takes pursuing people on foot. And the day that you quit doing that to a criminal, every one of them is going to run.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the final decision, Rolfe shot Brooks even though he knew that the Taser the man fired at him was not a deadly weapon.<\/p>\n

Wigginton cited Georgia case law and statutes that allow police to use deadly force \u201cto prevent death or great bodily injury to himself or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.\u201d<\/p>\n

He described the Taser as an \u201cincapacitating weapon\u201d that could have left the officer vulnerable to \u201cgreat bodily injury\u201d if he fell and hit his head.<\/p>\n

Asked if the same argument could be made if someone threw a baseball, a water balloon or any other object at a pursuing officer, Wigginton replied: \u201cIt does give the police some leeway in the decision-making.\u201d<\/p>\n

He described it as a \u201cjustified shooting,\u201d adding that he agreed that \u201cjust because you can do something doesn\u2019t mean you should do something.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wigginton added: \u201cBut we can\u2019t take out what the officer felt at that moment. What he thought at that moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rolfe, who has been fired, could face a felony murder charge, Fulton County\u2019s top prosecutors said Sunday. Brosnan has been put on administrative leave.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got the George Floyd case where everyone in America saw a murder on TV,\u201d Wigginton said about the man who died in Minneapolis after a police officer pressed his knee into his neck.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you will not find a police officer who will look at that video and say that was OK. But they want to take Mr. Brooks case and put it in the same category as that crime that was committed on Mr. Floyd. And they\u2019re not.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
