In the version of the lawsuit seen by The Independent, only Ms Kengne's neighbour Justin Mungal had yet responded in detail to the lawsuit, calling her complaint a "shotgun pleading" and denying her allegations. A source within the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) confirmed that name to WSB Channel 2, saying Ms Kengne had been arrested by ATF officers with a 9mm Glock pistol in her purse. Ms Rengne was first spotted by an official assigned to the federal bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), who WSB-TV reported was spotted the suspect at the terminal building after taking a taxi. While police were still investigating the shooting and motives for the attack, a lawsuit apparently filed by Ms Kengne and seen by The Independent named both victims as defendants.

A Georgia special prosecutor determined that the two Atlanta police officers involved in the fatal shooting of Rayshard Brooks in June 2020 acted reasonably ...

Another video filmed by a bystander begins shortly after the struggle started and shows Brooks getting a hold of the Taser and breaking free. The Taser is designed to be less lethal than a firearm, but it can be fatal in some circumstances. Prosecutors Tuesday said a video analysis determined Brooks fired the Taser at Rolfe, who fired his handgun 1.1 seconds later. The Department has reviewed its standard operating procedures and enhanced training on how to de-escalate confrontations." But I would ask them to look at the facts of this case, and this isn't one of those cases. In May 2021, the Atlanta Civil Service Board ruled Rolfe was wrongly terminated and reinstated him. While fleeing, he turned back and fired the stolen Taser at Rolfe, who then shot Brooks twice, in the back and buttocks, killing him, prosecutors said. bid months later, and the new district attorney Fani Willis asked to be recused from the case. In Atlanta, the Wendy's restaurant was set ablaze, hundreds blocked a major interstate, authorities fired tear gas and the police chief stepped down. "Both acted as reasonable officers would under the facts and circumstances of the events of that night," special prosecutor Peter Skandalakis said. They also determined the officers did not act with criminal intent. During the struggle, Brooks overpowered officers Garrett Rolfe and Devin Brosnan, took a Taser from Brosnan and ran away, according to prosecutors.

Brooks' death led to the resignation of an Atlanta police chief, several days of violent demonstrations, and the shooting death of an 8-year-old girl.

on June 12, 2020, Atlanta police officer Devin Brosnan responded to a complaint that Brooks, 27, was asleep in the drive-through of a southwest Atlanta Wendy’s. For several days, armed protesters closed adjacent streets with barriers, and on July 4, Secoriea Turner, 8, was killed when the car in which she was riding was shot at by protesters. It is important to note that the CSB did not make a determination as to whether officer Rolfe violated Atlanta Police Department policies. That night, the Wendy’s where Brooks was shot was burned down, and several cars were torched by protesters as well. Previously Released Statement: 5/2/2021--The Civil Service Board (CSB) has reversed the termination of officer Garrett Rolfe only on the basis that they were not done in accordance with the Atlanta City Code.

Rolfe acted in accordance with Georgia law and Atlanta Police Department policy given the facts of the situation, he said. Rolfe fired his gun, and an autopsy found that Brooks was shot twice in the back. The board found that the city failed to follow its own procedures for disciplinary actions. Police body camera video shows the two officers having a calm conversation with Brooks for roughly 40 minutes. Sometimes-violent protests over Floyd’s death had largely subsided in Atlanta, but Brooks’ killing set off a new round of demonstrations against police brutality and racial injustice that also followed the slayings of Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery. “This isn’t one of those cases,” he said.

Atlanta officers who shot Rayshard Brooks won't face charges (The Washington Post)

The Atlanta officers who shot Rayshard Brooks, a 27-year-old Black man, during the height of 2020 racial justice protests will not face charges.

“We are continually investing in training to ensure our officers make up the most qualified and proficient force in the country.” So there’s a racial element every time you send in an officer who is not trained and who is not familiar with the community.” “We look at it with what information the officers had in a dynamic situation that is quickly evolving.” Video of the scuffle showed that Brooks grabbed Brosnan’s Taser and attempted to flee. The incident started when Atlanta officer Brosnan first approached Brooks’s car, in which Brooks was asleep, for blocking the drive-through lane of a Wendy’s in southwest Atlanta. “As the Georgia NAACP, we take civil rights very seriously and 2020 changed the conversation on social justice, therefore the citizens should determine what police accountability looks like.” “Seeing the charges dismissed truly pains me,” Lewis said in a statement. Griggs said the decision of whether to pursue charges should have been made by a grand jury. Soon after, a number of Atlanta police officers [called in sick](https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/06/18/atlanta-rayshard-brooks-walkout/?itid=lk_inline_manual_10) to protest the decision to charge the men. Rolfe’s disciplinary record showed a history of citizen complaints and that he had formerly been disciplined for issues including in a use-of-force incident. But in August 2020, Howard was defeated in his bid for reelection and his replacement, Fani Willis, accused him of tainting the case, pushing forward charges before the investigation had been completed. “This case of Devin Brosnan and Garrett Rolfe is not like the George Floyd case,” he said.

Kristen Kessinger, director of communications for ISACA, told Motherboard in an email that “Raissa Kengne was a guest speaker at the Atlanta Chapter event, which is listed on their website. Kengne also made a lengthy post accusing her victims of crimes on the social network and earlier this month gave a talk at the Geek Week Atlanta security conference called “Fraud in Accounting.” The presentation will cover concrete examples of unethical behavior exhibited by public accounting firms in the US and abroad as well as conditions that gave rise to the fraud.”
