. >> our nbc affiliate in atlanta, wxia, is reporting that this officer, former officer rolfe, had just completed a training course in de-escalation. he also took a course back in april in cultural awareness. in january he passed a course that is called "use of deadly force." so, if he did all of this training, why is rayshard brooks dead? >> yeah, that's the question that i wrestle with. one thing about the atlanta police force, we have a police department that reflects the citizenship. atlanta has a large amount of african-american officers, women officers, lgbtq officers. officer training is, you know, beyond what any other department has. i think they get fantastic training and they get retraining. but you know what, we can't out-train some things that are biases, and i don't know what went through mr. rolfe's mind before he fired that weapon, but i know what goes through the minds of people across america when they have implicit and unconscious bias that has led them to believe that the incident that they're dealing with is bigger than it is because it is an african-american, wheth

these are pictures from our affiliate wxia in atlanta. not far from here is interstate 85.is just about a four mile drive from here into downtown atlanta. 2.5 miles as the crow blys we see i-75, i--85 highways are sht down. all 14 lanes of the highway are shut down by atlanta protesters in the streets. let's continue our conversation with atf special agent in charge, jim cavanaugh. marq claxton who is also director of the black law enforcement alliance. marlon and rashad and danielle are back with us again. i wonder if we can begin with your thoughts on what is happening this evening, particularly the response from the city of atlanta. >> the response in the city of atlanta, you mean the mayor, is consistent with what we are living in, that is you know the minneapolis era, where the governmental response is much more -- is swift and much more punitive toward law enforcement being held to a much higher standard. the response and the statements from the attorneys earlier was quite significant. their exas per rag and frustration you could hear in their voices was perfect in mi

joining us now is reporter faith abubey from our nbc affiliate wxia "11 alive" in atlanta. faith, what do you see? >> reporter: yeah, josh, we're on university avenue right across the street from the wendy's where the officer-involved shooting happened friday night. across the street as well we see police officers in formation getting ready to respond to any situation that might arise here at the scene. across the street here, specifically, we're at this business because this is one of the businesses that was damaged during the protests overnight here in the atlanta area. across the street, again, is the wendy's, but this business is a black-owned business. it's the package store, a liquor store here, in this community, and they've been here for about two years under this ownership. the indian and black ownership. and they told us when they got here this morning they saw damage to their windows. a lot of the windows were blown out. after eight hours of work here, the restoration team has been able to put up all these boards you're seeing here on your screen. and the owner t

joining us now is brendan keith, chief investigator at wxia 11 alive in atlanta. brendan, what did you learn? >> well, we learned this, katy, that the current investigation of garrett rolfe is his third for firearms and use of force in his seven-year career with the atlanta police department. and the department reprimanded rolfe in writing back in 2017 after a year-long internal affairs investigation for use of force involving his firearm. and then there's this 2015 incident. in 2015 rolfe and other atlanta police officers were accused of a cover-up by both the defendant and a judge for failing to mention they fired multiple shots into a stolen truck, hitting the driver. rolfe fired three shots into the vehicle according to fulton county court records. two other officers fired one shot each. and jackie harris, the defendant, the suspect, was hit in the center of his back. the police incident report was full of details including a minor injury to an officer's finger but made no mention of the shots fired or that the suspect was hit. judge doris downs said from the

. >>> i want to take you to georgia and wxia reporter andy peroti.ere's a protest going on behind you right now. but where you are it's not about george floyd. it's about ahmaud arbery. tell us more. >> yeah, so these protesters right now are waiting for the result of a preliminary hearing which will determine whether three white men accused of killing ahmaud arbery, the 25-year-old unarmed man who died in february, will be able to be released on bond. you could hear them earlier saying no bond, notice bond. now, no peace. it was raining earlier. they are willing to stay out here in the rain waiting for the hours-long preliminary hearing that will happen. this hearing essentially is an opportunity for them to challenge the arresting officer and ask the judge whether they believe enough evidence is in this case to proceed with the charges. in this case, that arresting officer is the georgia bureau of investigation. right now both the state and the defense have not seen the complete case file but the district attorney's office believes so far that base

. >> joining us from atlanta is investigative reporter with wxia-tv andy piratti.udge come to his decision? is it. >> hi, chuck. i believe that what stuck out to the judge the most was that lead investigator that you just heard from the georgia bureau of investigation really describing in detail how the three men coordinated and essentially hunt down mr. arbery and ultimately kill him. one of the men that stuck out is william ryan. he's the person that originally said he was just the witness to the crime. he came across and pulled out his cell phone and started recording. well, according to that investigator on the stand yesterday, he really took his time to essentially describe how he was using his vehicle to run him off the road and capture mr. arbery, listen to how the investigator described it. >> he made several statements about trying to block him in and use his vehicle to try to stop him his statement was that mr. arbery kept trying -- jumping out of the way. he would go down into the ditch to avoid his truck. >> so he and mcmichael gregory and travis mcmich

one of the headlines from wxia in atlanta, despite assurances from department, overnight police radioeveals bouts of silence and calls left unanswered. are the atlanta police too scared to do their job? >> absolutely. you know, the mayor has come out publicly and basically gotten rid of the policy for use of force. our officers don't know what their guidelines are what to do and what not to do and even as early as last night the officer was standing around where there was a shooting, the ones that did show up, and a gentleman stood up for what appears for no reason assaulting the officer pushing him back. the officer did not make an arrest. they took care of the person who was wounded and got out of there. so, again, i don't see anybody, the mayor saying anything about that, about our officers. so, there's a -- i think everybody can look around and see why officers are feeling sick these days. leland: fox news polling just out now refusing funding for police departments and moving funds to different social services, 41% favor, 46% opposed. what do you have to say to those 41%? >> well
