Arrest warrants have been issued for Rolfe and fellow officer Devin Brosnan, who was also at the scene and is facing three charges.
Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said Brooks' cordial and cooperative demeanor before the attempt to arrest him played a major role in the decision to charge Rolfe, because Brooks did not appear to present a threat.
"Mr. Brooks never displayed any aggressive behavior during the 41 minutes and 17 seconds'' before Rolfe tried to handcuff him, Howard said.
