Petition for Officer Garrett Rolfe to be reinstated!
Michael Dong started this petition to Atlanta Police Department
In the recent incident regarding Officer Garrett Rolfe shot a man who resisting arrest and fired a taser at the police. Officer Garrett Rolfe did all the right thing by professionally respected the man and explained to the situation to him. This black man escalated the situation by resisting arrest and went for Officer's weapon. Our Officers are not Special Force or God! In the heated moment like that, he didn't have time to think clearly what kind of weapon did this guy snatched from them., This criminal pointed a weapon at our officer and pulled the trigger,, that's it! Shots were justified!
What happened if this criminal took the real gun instead of taser? He wouldn't doubt for a second and would shot our officers as well! Therefore, Officer Garrett Rolfe should be placed under Department Investigation and even be rewarded instead of fired in my honest opinion! This would discourage our Officers to hesitated to protect themselves in the future in a moment like this!!! We need them to protect our society! This country need the Law Enforcement and most of them are good COPS who help and protecting general public!!! Police Officer is a very dangerous job, we shouldn't penalize them for defending themselves in an extreme situation like this!
