Frame grab from police camera footage of the arrest of Rayshard Brookes by Atlanta Police, June 13, 2020.Bottoms said it was"heartbreaking" to watch the nearly 30-minute encounter, recorded on police body cameras, between Brooks and Atlanta police. She said it was"friendly,""cordial" and"respectful" prior to his death.
"But for the fact that you knew how this story ended, you could even find yourself chuckling watching this encounter. That's how light this encounter was," Bottoms said. The videos, released by police, show Brooks having a conversation with police in which he said he had been in the area to visit his mother's grave and to celebrate on of his daughters' birthdays.Bottoms said she believes there was"an opportunity" for Brooks' encounter with Atlanta police"to end very differently" if they had responded with a stun gun instead of deadly force.
"We've got to train our officers differently. We have to encourage our officers to de-escalate a situation with reasonable objectivity," she said."I understand there's a lot of frustration in this country on both sides, but at the end of the day, this incident in particular, and with George Floyd and so many others, it didn't have to happen this way and end this way.
