Law enforcement officials and experts alike were hailing the quick response to this weekend’s police killing of an unarmed Black man in Atlanta, including the firing of the officer.
As Brooks ran away in the Wendy’s parking lot, Atlanta Police Officer Garrett Rolfe took aim and shot the fatal bullets into Brooks’ back — even though it had been determined that he was not armed with anything more than a nonlethal Taser as he ran farther away from the cops.
Within 24 hours, Rolfe had been fired and Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields had resigned in two moves that typically take days if not weeks to happen (if they ever do at all) following police shootings of Black people.

#BLEXIT supports Police Officers,” Owens tweeted on Sunday in reference to his unsuccessful group encouraging Black people to leave the Democratic Party.
