ATLANTA A lawyer for Police Officer Garrett Rolfe said Wednesday that the City of Atlanta’s Civil Service Board’s decision to reinstate his client was the right move, sending the message that “due process matters.”Rolfe was terminated nearly immediately following the fatal shooting of Rayshard Brooks last summer. The Civil Board decided Tuesday that the officer was indeed denied his right to due process.“We are very excited that the Civil Board says that due process matters,” attorney Lance LoRusso said in a statement, according to CNN.LoRusso added that his client’s “reinstatement will likely take some time, but he intended to get his client back to work.”
