Rehired Cop After the sleeping dad wakes, shoot him at his back and kill him.


Officer Garrett Rolfe is back on the police force after being fired for shooting a fleeing man in the back. The Atlanta Civil Service Board ruled that the city did not give him the right to due process. The death of 27-year-old George Brooks has already caused a massive backlash in the city. The other officer involved in the encounter, Devin Brosnan, has been charged with aggravated assault and violating his oath. Both officers are free on bond and their lawyers have said their clients acted appropriately in the incident. The decision will likely cause further outrage in the Atlanta community, which is already on edge after the death of George Floyd, a black man who fell asleep in the drive-thru of a Wendy's restaurant in July. The officer who shot Brooks was fired the next day and is currently facing murder charges for his actions. The city's mayor said firing the officer was the "right thing to do" in a statement Wednesday. Atlanta police responded to a call of a man asleep in Wendy's drive-thru. Police released body camera footage the next day. The DA has refused to indict the officers, instead of passing the case to the attorney general. The officer who shot Rayshard was not charged with the death. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is looking into the incident, as is the Georgia Attorney General's office. The man who died in the police shooting was identified as John Rayshard, a father of three who was killed in a traffic accident. Police say Rayshard died after being struck by Rayshard's car while he was sleeping in a Wendy's parking lot. The officer involved in the shooting has not been charged, and no charges have been filed against him.  A prosecutor has said he does not believe it was a justified use of deadly force. At this time a struggle ensues and the two officers force Brooks to the ground. "Hands off the f***ing Taser," one of the officers says. Brooks then hits Rolfe in the face.
