Atlanta officer Garrett Rolfe won't face any charges in fatal shooting of Rayshard Brooks
Police Chief Erika Shields resigned less than 24 hours after Brooks died, and protesters set fire to the Wendy's, which was later demolished."This was the proper and only decision that could be reached based upon the evidence and Georgia law," Brosnan attorneys Don Samuel and Amanda Clark Palmer said in an emailed statement.
Skandalakis and former Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter, who was co-counsel in the case, spent about an hour during the news conference walking through the details of the encounter between Brooks and the two officers. Porter showed still images taken from videos to break down what happened once things turned violent.
Porter said Brooks proceeded to"beat the crap" out of the two officers after Rolfe's lawful attempt to arrest him. Rolfe acted in accordance with Georgia law and Atlanta Police Department policy given the facts of the situation, he said.Rolfe was fired a day after the shooting, but his dismissal was overturned in May 2021 by the Atlanta Civil Service Board. The board found that the city failed to follow its own procedures for disciplinary actions.
Skandalakis said Tuesday that he would file paperwork to dismiss those warrants. He declined to comment when asked whether Howard had rushed charges.The Atlanta Police Department said in a statement that both officers are on administrative duty and will undergo recertification and training.
