Garrett Rolfe, the police officer who fatally shot Rayshard Brooks last year, has been reinstated by the Atlanta Civil Service Board.
On Wednesday, the board released its decision to revoke his dismissal, stating: Due to the City s failure to comply with several provisions of the Code and the information received during witnesses testimony, the Board concludes the Appellant was not afforded his right to due process.
The board noted that it was not determining whether or not Brooks actions were criminal, but rather hearing the appeals of firings and other employment actions taken against public city employees.
