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.”

Garrett Rolfe, the former Atlanta police officer charged in the fatal shooting of Rayshard Brooks in a Wendy’s parking lot, was wrongly terminated, the Atlanta Civil Service Board has ruled.
“We are very excited that the Civil Board says that due process matters,” Lance LoRusso, attorney for Garrett Rolfe, told CNN in a statement. He added that Rolfe’s reinstatement will likely take some time, but he intended to get his client back to work.
The Atlanta Police Department, in a statement, said: “It is important to note that the CSB did not make a determination as to whether officer Rolfe violated Atlanta Police Department policies. In light of the CSB’s rulings, APD will conduct an assessment to determine if additional investigative actions are needed.”

Officer Fired After Rayshard Brooks Shooting Reinstated by Board

Officer Fired After Rayshard Brooks Shooting Reinstated by Board
The police officer who was fired after fatally shooting a man in Atlanta last year was reinstated on Wednesday by a city board.
Garrett Rolfe did not receive the mandatory 10 days notice, the Atlanta Civil Service Board said in its decision.
“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. Therefore, the Board GRANTS the Appeal of Garrett Rolfe and revokes his dismissal as an employee of the APD,” or Atlanta Police Department, the board wrote.
