Atlanta City Councilmember Proposes New Legislation Expanding APD’s ‘Duty To Intervene’ Policy

It’s been less than one year now since the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks occurred at the University Avenue Wendy’s here in Atlanta.

The fatal shooting of Brooks — a 27-year-old Black man — by a white police officer led to days-long protests and calls for change.

At the time, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms signed new executive orders, which included a number of new reforms for the city’s police department.
