A former Atlanta police officer charged in the fatal shooting of Rayshard Brooks outside of a Wendys restaurant in June has filed a lawsuit against the interim police chief and the mayor over his termination. His lawsuit was filed the same day that prosecutors filed a motion to revoke his bond over an alleged travel violation.

In the lawsuit filed Tuesday, Garrett Rolfe argues that he was improperly fired on June 13, one day after Brooks death, because there had been no investigation or pre-disciplinary hearing and he did not receive proper notice. This violated the citys municipal code and his constitutional rights, the suit claims.

Rolfe has been charged with 11 counts, including felony murder and aggravated assault. His suit argues, however, that his use of deadly force was lawful and in response to Brooks, who was Black, having displayed violent, unlawful, aggressive resistance to a lawful arrest.
