US: Trump comments on Georgia police shooting

President Donald Trump weighed in on the shooting of Rayshard Brooks and the Atlanta police officer charged Wednesday with felony murder during an interview on Fox News.

Trump said “you can’t resist a police officer” and said he heard an explanation from Garrett Rolfe’s lawyer that the officer heard a sound like a gunshot and saw a flash in front of him.

“I don’t know that I would have necessarily believed that, but I will tell you, that’s a very interesting thing and maybe that’s so,” Trump said. “It’s going to be up to Justice. I hope he gets a fair shake because police have not been treated fairly in our country. They have not been treated fairly.”

Rolfe’s lawyers say the officer feared for his safety and opened fire after hearing a sound “like a gunshot." A second officer is charged with aggravated assault.

Prosecutors say Rolfe shot Brooks in the back and didn't give him medical attention for more than two minutes.
