The case of Rayshard Brooks, a 27-year-old Black man who was shot in the back while running away from police in a Wendy’s parking lot, is soon to go to trial. Yet the officer who delivered the fatal blow thinks he should be allowed back on the streets.
Ex-officer Garrett Rolfe and his attorney, Lance LoRusso, argued before Atlanta’s civil service board last Thursday that the former was “dismissed without a proper investigation” nor given a fair amount of time to defend himself against his firing. Rolfe was fired a day after the June 12, 2020 shooting.
Rolfe shot Brooks after responding to calls about a man asleep in a car at Wendy’s drive-through lane. A father of four, Brooks initially complied and cooperated, but when officers tried to arrest him, a scuffle ensued. Widely circulated video showed that Rolfe shot Brooks as the latter tried to run away.

ATLANTA A former Atlanta police officer s attorney said Thursday that his client didn t get a chance to defend himself before he was fired for fatally shooting Rayshard Brooks, a Black man who had been running away from two white officers after he resisted arrest and fired a stun gun at one of them.
Officer Garrett Rolfe was dismissed without a proper investigation by the city on June 13, one day after Brooks death, Rolfe s attorney, Lance LoRusso, told the city s civil service board as he argued for his client s reinstatement to the force, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The encounter outside a Wendy s restaurant last year started calmly but rapidly spun out of control when Atlanta police tried to handcuff and arrest Brooks, 27, for suspected DUI.
