Wow: Atlanta PD reinstates police officer charged with murder -- with back pay?

Talk about mixed messaging. Acting in the wake of the death of George Floyd, the city of Atlanta immediately fired the police officer involved in the shooting of Rayshard Brooks, even though Brooks had assaulted the officers and aimed their own Taser at them. The city rushed to charge Garrett Rolfe with murder, even while video suggested that Rolfe and other officers had a case for self-defense. Rolfe still faces a felony murder charge, among other counts in the indictment. And he’ll be an active-duty cop when he shows up in court, thanks to the Atlanta Civil Service Board’s decision late yesterday (via Power Line’s Paul Mirengoff):

Atlanta Police Officer Who Fatally Shot Rayshard Brooks in Wendy s Parking Lot Is Reinstated by Civil Service Board

What happened in Atlanta today is not connected to the criminal charges, which remain pending against Rolfe. Rather, today’s decision involves Rolfe’s appeal of his summary termination by then Atlanta Police Chief  Erika Shields.  As the decision recounts, in the late-night hours of June 12, 2020, the encounter between Brooks and two Atlanta Police Officers took place in the parking lot of Wendy’s. After the fatal shooting, during the day on June 13, 2020, and under a fear that the city was going to erupt in violence that night, Assistant Police Chief Todd Coyt signed a Notice of Proposed Adverse Action (NPAA) on behalf of the APD, recommending “Dismissal” because the Rolfe’s actions deemed contrary to and in violation of APD prohibiting the use of  “Unnecessary Force.”

In light of the CSB’s rulings, APD will conduct an assessment to determine if additional investigative actions are needed.”
