The former Atlanta police officer who fatally shot Rayshard Brooks was concerned he would face charges after firing three shots during a 2015 car chase and arrest, according to dash camera footage obtained by CNN.

Garrett Rolfe is facing felony murder and other charges related to Brooks' killing outside an Atlanta fast-food restaurant two weeks ago. In the footage of the 2015 shooting released by the Fulton County Public Defender's office and in a statement after the incident, Rolfe said he worried the Black suspect, Jackie Jermaine Harris, would hit Rolfe or another officer with his truck.

" CNN has previously reported that Harris alleged that there was a coverup in his shooting since it was not mentioned on any of his arrest reports. In January 2016, Harris sent a letter to Judge Doris Downs from jail while he was awaiting trial."I was shot at numerous times, and struck once in the back by an Atlanta Police Officer. I had no weapon and didn't try in any way to cause harm to the officer," Harris writes.

He shot a criminal so who gives a crap

What d’ya know... his union protected disciplinary record shows a history of gettin his gun off and related abusive conduct. I’m all for unions but they’re obstructive when it comes to getting real justice. Bull cops are dangerous. Stop letting them conceal and carry on.

💥This officer has done nothing wrong and the video clearly shows that! Mr. Brooks committed 'felonies ' and due process will prove that!

Gotta love the smear campaign by a 'news' organization.

Justified - watch the video. Fight police, steal their weapons, turn and fire it at them.

HE IS NOT FIT TO BE A POLICE OFFICER HE IS FIT FOR PRISON THOUGH

This guy had a haired trigger so he should not have been a cop after that.

The fact that so many excuse the actions of a lawbreaker and someone who fired a weapon at police tell me the rule of law is in trouble in our country. Things that make civilization work arebeing disregarded.

Put his ass in jail and don’t let him out

This anti-police campaign is nothing more than preparing the ground for robot policing, where machines would subdue the perps without using lethal force and with fear-for-own-safety factor excluded. In the end it's always about the $.

How about putting out something about Aaliyah Norris death?!?

Another raging cowboy thinking it’s the wild west out there...

A killer right from his mama's womb. Check his eyes - the eyes of a psychopath.

Look, a murderer

Typical misleading CNN fake news headline to falsely imply wrongdoing. Rolfe clearly felt he was in the right but said, 'you know how the media is' and is later heard saying 'with the atmosphere they are going to charge us (expletive), the way (Fulton County DA) Paul Howard is.'

Who trusts you now. Losers

5 years later he’s comfortable shooting a man in the back. BlackLivesMattters
