Atlanta police officer who shot Rayshard Brooks in the back faces murder charges - US prosecutors
'RIP Rayshard' is seen written in spray paint at a rally against racial inequality and the police shooting death of Rayshard Brooks, in Atlanta, Georgia, US June 13, 2020.
The felony murder charge against Rolfe carries life in prison without parole or the death penalty. He was also charged with 10 other offences punishable by decades behind bars.Second officer charged with aggravated assault The shooting sparked new demonstrations in Georgia’s capital against police brutality, after occasionally turbulent protests in response to George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis had largely simmered down. Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields resigned less than 24 hours after Brooks died, and the fast-food restaurant was burned.Police were called to the restaurant over complaints of a car blocking the drive-thru lane.

Meanwhile, Quaker Oats said it is getting rid of its Aunt Jemima brand because the character was “based on a racial stereotype.” While Aunt Jemima's image on packages was changed in recent years to make her look like a modern housewife, she was for most of her existence a stout, kerchief-wearing figure who evoked the plantation-era “Mammy” stereotype.
