Officer Involved in Rayshard Brooks Killing Accused of Assaulting Another Black Man

The Atlanta police officer involved in the fatal shooting of an unarmed Black man, Rayshard Brooks, while he rested in a Wendy's drive-thru in 2020, is under scrutiny once again. Officer Garrett Rolfe has been suspended with pay following an alleged altercation at Midtown X, a local bar, in the early hours of Sunday morning.Witnesses informed WSB-TV that Rolfe instigated a dispute regarding drink prices with bartender Raefeal Penrice, leading to a physical confrontation. However, upon police arrival, only Penrice was arrested. Eyewitnesses who remained anonymous asserted that Rolfe initiated the violence, contradicting the officer's defense that he was the victim.Local journalist Cody Alcorn reported skepticism among witnesses about the decision not to detain Rolfe. This incident reignites concern over Rolfe's prior actions, particularly considering the public outcry and protests that followed Brooks' death. Social media users have expressed their disbelief and anger, questioning Rolfe's continued presence within the police force.
