After fatally shooting a black man in the back over the weekend, an Atlanta police officer was fired early Sunday, according to CBS News.
He was fatally shot in the back by police at a Wendy’s drive-thru after officials accused him of resisting arrest and stealing an officer’s Taser.
Former police officer Garrett Rolfe, who has been on the force since 2013, was fired, and his partner, Devin Bronsan, has been placed on administrative duty early Sunday.
It has also been reported that the male subject was shot by an officer in the struggle over the Taser.
“Specifically, officer Rolfe, whether or not he felt that Mr. Brooks, at that time presented imminent harm of death or some serious physical injury.
