The former Atlanta police officer who fatally shot Rayshard Brooks in a Wendy's parking lot last June was wrongfully terminated, a board says

"We are very excited that the Civil Board says that due process matters," Lance LoRusso, attorney for Garrett Rolfe, told CNN in a statement. He added that Rolfe's reinstatement will likely take some time, but his intentions are to get his client back to work. The Atlanta Police Department, in a statement, said:"It is important to note that the CSB did not make a determination as to whether officer Rolfe violated Atlanta Police Department policies.

The same veteran officer said that Rolfe was told"not to be inside the City limits for his own safety" because of"heightened community concerns" -- essentially preventing him from responding to the city's actions.Controversial Police Encounters Fast FactsRolfe's dismissal may have been hurried in part due"to a press conference that was on the horizon," the officer assigned to the Internal Affairs Advocacy Unit, Sgt. William Dean, testified.

Atlanta you PLAYED YO SELVES for voting in the police union clicked in Fani T Willis.

This is a police problem not a race problem CNN race baiting all they want is riots and division divide and conquer I'm pretty sure we all know that but there's a lot of sheep out there not awake

it's time to start being responsible for your life now ..don't worry about the past you can't change the past. you can change the future .as long as you stay looking into the past you will never grow as a person or a race

Rightfully reinstated. Lost his job because a drunk asswipe couldn’t follow directions and grabbed for his taser/gun. All because of the color of his skin the outrage....let it be an Asian or white guy, wouldn’t even make news because it’s justified. No sympathy for this moron

The way the world seems to no longer accept BS excuses from the 'Powers that Be', it's comments and decisions made like this that's going to continue to fuel the world to do whatever it takes to see everyone treated equally. It's simple-Treat others the way you want 2 be treated

He was!! Why does our government wish to ruin lives

And now his life as a police officer has been ruined. But, I pray there is something far better out there for him than law enforcement and he can make a difference in this world

Why we keep bringing up this issue get over it , it’s not a crime to kill a black in America

Disgusting

We knew that from the start .

Very free

That's it? Nahhh he killed someone.

I feel like the person he shot had his life wrongfully terminated ... If you can't get fired for killing someone for NO reason, what can you get terminated for?

SOS COLOMBIA. EL ESTADO NOS ESTÁ ASESINANDO

Esse mundo é de loucos

Sounds about white

Psycho US police...no consequences

A person running away from you is not a threat if you shoot them in the back that would be first degree murder. Don’t put a policeman’s uniform on a bully racist piece of trash.

Who the hell thinks he was let go incorrectly..

Yes, Rayshard was wrongfully terminated.

Cops are garbage till proven otherwise.

If you shoot another human being it must be a requirement of natural justice that the perpetrator faces trial in a Court of Law. Only a Court of Law has the authority to determine Innocence or Guilty, and the Degree of the Offence. That the actual progress does not appear to

acab

No killer cops!

Police were originally slave patrols, tasked with hunting down slaves and even free black people...many times killing them instead of capturing them...

Rolfe was not afforded his right to due process. Did Rayshard Brooks get any due process?

Unbelievable! He belongs in jail.
