A judge says Garrett Rolfe is not a flight risk, granting bond to the ex-Atlanta police off'icer charged with murder in Rayshard Brooks' shooting.

ATLANTA — The former Atlanta police officer charged with fatally shooting Rayshard Brooks can be released on bond, a judge ruled Tuesday.

Rolfe, who was fired from the department after the incident, was charged with 11 counts, including felony murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Videos from the scene show Brooks wrestling with the officers and taking one of their Tasers. Brooks aimed the Taser at the officers while running away. The video shows an officer aim his gun at Brooks before Brooks falls to the ground.

Rolfe was a seven-year veteran of the Atlanta Police Department and has lived in Georgia all his life, Thomas said. Rucker noted video evidence that shows Rolfe kicking Brooks after shooting him and the two minutes it took Rolfe to render medical aid to Brooks. “My life is completely turned upside down since this has happened,” Miller said. “I should not have to live in fear while waiting for a man who killed my husband to be tried in court.”
