Atlanta Police released bodycam video Thursday of a May 2020 police encounter where a man claims he was injured in an arrest by officer Garrett Rolfe - the same officer facing murder charges for the death of Rayshard Brooks.

This week, Charles Johnson filed a federal lawsuit seeking $1 million from the City of Atlanta. The suit states Rolfe broke Johnson's collar bone, among other minor injuries, after stopping him for a DUI on May 22, 2020.

The incident happened less than a month before Brooks was killed.

A police report written by Rolfe said he was told Johnson had a dislocated shoulder. The police report indicates Johnson failed or refused a series of field sobriety tests, and the suit acknowledges he was "driving while intoxicated."

The lawsuit characterized Johnson as respectful and polite, having "never raised his voice" while speaking with Rolfe.

"At no time did (Johnson) use any force against (Rolfe) or do anything that would have provided (Rolfe) with a legal basis to use force against him," the suit asserts. "Because (Johnson) did not comply with (Rolfe's) command as quickly as the officer would have liked, (Rolfe) grabbed him and after threw him to the ground, thoroughly breaking his collarbone among other minor injuries."

Johnson's lawyers said in the lawsuit that it took two surgeries to repair his shoulder, and that he lost over $200,000 in income and medical expenses. It places blame on the city for the incident, saying it "has encouraged, tolerated, ratified and been deliberately indifferent" to use of force abuses.

Rolfe was fired by the city after shooting Brooks last summer, but earlier this month an Atlanta city board reinstated him to the police force, saying the city had not properly followed protocols protecting public employees in the firing.
