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.
