Charges are being dismissed against two Atlanta police officers involved in the deadly shooting of a Black man outside of a Wendy’s fast food restaurant in 2020.

The special prosecutor on the case says he believes officers Devin Brosnan and Garrett Rolfe acted reasonably in using deadly force while trying to arrest Brooks.

The shooting happened against the backdrop of heightened tensions and protests nationwide after the death of George Floyd under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer less than three weeks earlier.
