Atlanta Police Officer Garrett Rolfe Fired for Rayshard Brooks Killing

Former Atlanta Police officer Garrett Rolfe was just fired for killing Rayshard Brooks in a Wendy's parking lot in Atlanta Friday. Surveillance and cell phone video of the incident clearly shows that Brooks was running away from Rolfe when Rolfe fired several shots killing Brooks. Pro-cop advocates are arguing that this was a justified shooting because Brooks resisted arrest, assaulted the officers, stole a taser, and was pointing the taser at them when he was shot. The truth is that none of those things made it necessary for Rolfe to kill Brooks. Brooks was far enough away by the time he pointed the taser that Rolfe should not have feared for his safety. The fact that Brooks had just assaulted Rolfe moments earlier would be irrelevant if it did not go to motive when Rolfe finally faces charges. Fellow officer Devin Bronsan was put on administrative duty. He is obviously the second officer in the video that did not shoot Brooks. You can watch the video below. Public records contain the following information about Garrett David Rolfe: GARRETT DAVID ROLFE MALE DOB: FEB-1993 AGE: 27 Address History 600 PHIPPS BLVD NE APT 2511 ATLANTA, GA 30326 2019 - Now 20 COLTON CREEK CT DALLAS, GA 30132 2010 - 2019 Owner Voter Registration NON-PARTISAN GA 2012 First Name: GARRETT Middle Name: DAVID Last Name: ROLFE Address: 20 COLTON CREEK CT City: DALLAS State: GA Postal Code: 30132 Party: NON-PARTISAN Date Of Registration: 04/18/2012 The aforementioned records are being posted as an exception to our rule against posting home addresses of police officers. We are making this exception for Rolfe because he was caught on camera using excessive force and technically he is not a police officer anymore. We believe that making this information public could benefit peaceful protesters when deciding where to picket. We also believe that since this information is public record that by making it available for free we will save people money.#rayshardbrooks #garrettrolfe #devinbronsan #murder
