Two police officers charged in the fatal shooting of a man in Georgia in 2020 committed no crimes and will have all charges against them dropped, a special prosecutor announced on Aug. 23.

Atlanta Police Department officers Devin Brosnan and Garrett Rolfe “acted as reasonable officers” when dealing with Rayshard Brooks, who resisted arrest after falling asleep in his car in a Wendy’s drive-through lane, special prosecutor Pete Skandalakis told a news conference.
