Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has defended her decision to dismiss a police officer following the death of Rayshard Brooks, with some questioning if the decision was made simply to quell protests and riots that erupted in the aftermath. Bottoms said Wednesday that she stood by the decision to terminate Officer Garrett Rolfe, insisting it was "the right thing to do." The CSB announced its decision Wednesday to return Rolfe, citing several procedural errors made in the initial termination. "Therefore, the Board grants the Appeal of Garrett Rolfe and revokes his dismissal as an employee of the APD." Brooks grabbed a Taser from one of the officers and fled, firing it at Rolfe as he ran.
