ATLANTA — The police officer who shot and killed Rayshard Brooks, setting off a summer of protest and unrest in Atlanta, was reinstated, according to reports.
The city's Civil Service Board reinstated former Atlanta Police Department Officer Garrett Rolfe, determining that "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."
