After viewing several videos, D.A. Paul Howard said Rayshard Brooks "never presented himself as a threat."
D.A. Howard also said the officers not only failed to render medical attention to Brooks after shooting him, one of them actually kicked him and the other stood on his shoulder after he’d been shot.
