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.”
