the other officer at the scene, devon brosnan has been placed on administrative duty. the atlanta police chief r resigned over this incident. what you are seeing there is the wendy's where rayshard brooks was shot. and as you can see, it was burnt to the ground. protesters did get into a confrontation with a cnn news crew. let's back up and have a look at how this all started. friday night, police respond to calls about a marngs brooks, asleep in his car outside that fast food restaurant. authorities saybrooks failed a field sobriety test. his lawyer suggests he was never given one, but that remains to be sorted out. and then after that he got into a struggle with the officers. cnn on tapbtained eyewitness vif that struggle. a warning to viewers, it is disturbing to watch. and what you see there is police grappling with brooks after he'd been pulled from his car. the scuffle goes on for several seconds, and during that scuffle, officials say that brooks grabbed one of the officers' tasers and breaking free. he does that in just a few seconds, breaks free. now he strike

now, officer devon brosnan had two firearm charges on his record, but it did appear that one of the firearm discharges was the one at wendy's. the atlanta mayor spoke yesterday about an executive order that she had signed that basically outlines reforms to the way that police can use force in situations saying that they need to use an objective and responsible amount of force just -- just if they feel that potentially their life may be in danger or they need to effect arrests or protect the public. she wants to make sure that other officers are now required to interconvenient if they feel another officer is using excessive force and referring all deadly shootings involving officers to a citizens review board. take a listen to what the mayor had to say. >> we're peeling back the layers of our standard operating procedures. some of it is ambiguous and some of it is simply not laid out, and what i can say is that if this is a challenge that we're having in atlanta, i assure you that there are agencies across this country if they haven't already begun to do this work, then they probably need to

again, the other officer on the scene last friday night, officer devon brosnan, he bonded out on a $50,000 signature bond, was if had and out pretty quickly. and one more thing about officer brosnan, there was that confusion about this time yesterday when we heard from his attorney saying that his client had not agreed to be a state's witness, had not agreed to testify against officer rolfe. what we know from the da is that he says his understanding has not changed, that he expects that officer brosnan will cooperate with his investigation moving forward. >> so, you know, in the wake of these charges, obviously, you know, you have the possible death penalty clearly on the table yesterday. i know that's changed today. in the wake of this and the protests over the death of rayshard brooks, what is the morale like in the atlanta police department right now, victor? >> low. deflated in fact. we had reports -- my colleague ryan young, a source inside the apd, tells him that in zone one there was just a single officer and two sergeants who showed up for work today. that would be typically many m

the other officer on the scene, devon brosnan, has been placed on administrative duty.anta police chief resigned. latest in the killings that sparked protests around the world. at the wendy's store, where 27-year-old rayshard brooks, you can see it was set ablaze. protestors then had a confrontation with the cnn crew breaking the camera that was covering the protests. let's take a look back, now, at how all this started. on friday night, police responded to calls about a man, brooks, asleep in his car outside that wendy's. authorities say brooks failed a field sobriety test. then, there was a struggle. cnn attained eyewitness video of that struggle and warning, this video is disturbing for some. now, the video shows the police grappling with brooks. state officials say during that scuffle, brooks grabbed one of the officers' tasers before breaking free. in the video, you can see the police officer was chasing him. officials, again, released surveillance footage of the incident as well. same warning. the video is disturbing to some. you see brooks running from police. he

his former partner, devon brosnan, is now out on bond. now let's be clear, there has been conflicting statements and outright confusion in the past 24 hours about officer brosnan's level of participation in the state's case against rolfe. in fact if you saw our opening, i was discussing this briefly with chuck todd who had a big interview about it today. now, we're going to show you everything so you can make up your own mind. first what you need to know is the d.a., who made waves yesterday by describing him as a state's witness, standing by that, basically doubling down today and asserting that, yes, brosnan is basically a state's witness. >> that whole discussion is subterfuge away from the real important issues in this case. i will just say that we stick by our comments made on yesterday, but i'm hoping people will turn back to the crux of this issue. and the crux of this issue is that mr. brooks is dead for really no valid reason at all. >> the comments yesterday, of course, did identify officer brosnan as completely being a state's

now officer devon brosnan is facing three charges, the first being aggravated assault for standing on brooks' shoulders when he was still on the ground there fighting for his life. the other are oath violations as well. the attorney for officer brosnan, poppy, tells me that he was disoriented because he sustained a concussion during that struggle there and did not know that mr. brooks had been shot at that point in time. attorneys for former officer rolfe say that the shooting was justified based on the circumstances of that night. they also deny that rolfe kicked him and say that they would like to see video and not just a still frame of that, poppy. >> before you go, what more do we know about the alleged callouts overnight by atlanta police? we had seen reporting that many called out sick, that some were not responding to calls into police, is that right? >> reporter: yeah. reporting from our colleague ryan young last night is that there were officers in three of the six zones in atlanta that were not responding to calls. now, we were told that there were some walkouts, some callou

devon brosnan stood on his shoulder. so the more you know, themore horror you feel. joining us now for reaction, some of the people that we turn to in cases like this, but i don't know that there has been a case just like this. paul butler is here. paul butler, your thoughts to the charges nouannounced by the district attorney. >> the district attorney is throwing the book at officer rolfe. there have been 182 people killed by georgia police officers in the last five years. only one before today had been charged with murder. so officer rolfe is the second person to be charged with murder. that first officer that was charged with murder was not convicted of murder. so the district attorney has quite a task ahead of him. in georgia, police are only allowed to use deadly force if they reasonably believe that they are about to be killed or seriously hurt or someone else is about to be killed and seriously hurt. so the issue will be whether it was reasonable for officer rolfe to think that mr. brooks was about to kill him. now, the defense will be that that belief was rea

the other officer to respond to the call, 26-year-old devon brosn brosn brosnan, will testify against rolfe. he is accused of standing on brooke bes' should bes' should struggled for life. his attorney described the encounter. >> i felt eflts friendly, respectful, i was respectful to him and i felt like he seemed like someone who potentially needed my help and i was there to see what i could did for him, make smure that he was safe. >> officers say the shooting was justified and the criminal charges are because of political pressure. some have been calling out sick within the atlanta police department but the department says they have enough officers to protect the city of atlanta. >> thank you, jobina. >>> amid the coronavirus pandemic, we're working on building a better bay area with a focus on four key areas. starting today, napa is allowing gyms, fitness studios, movie theaters and personal care services to reopen, that includes nail salons, estheticians and tattoo parlors. and also in the north bay, man cures, wakxings, massages and tattoos will be allowed in sonoma county. the c
