Garrett Rolfe involved in cover-up in another killing

The Atlanta police department and Fulton county district attorney’s office did not respond to requests for comment.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said it did not investigate the shooting, according to a spokesperson.

Harris echoed the judge’s concern about the officers’ conduct at his court hearing.

“I just don’t want them to get away with what they did to me,” said Harris, who was sentenced to time served and one year’s probation.

Rolfe was apparently not disciplined, according to a personnel file released by Atlanta police on Tuesday, which listed the 2015 incident only as a “firearm discharge” but did not say how the department addressed the incident. Rolfe could not be reached for comment.
