GEORGIA NAACP RESPONDS TO DISMISSAL OF CHARGES IN RAYSHARD BROOKS SHOOTING CASE


The Georgia NAACP strongly disagrees with the decision of the Special Prosecutor dismissing the charges against Atlanta Police Officers involving in the shooting of Rayshard Brooks.


Georgia NAACP President Gerald Griggs stated, "It's extremely concerning when individuals selected to ensure that the law is applied without bias and speculation make a conclusion outside the presence of the citizens of Fulton County, in the setting of a Fulton County Grand Jury. Grand juries and trials exist to ensure that justice is truly blind. Justice wasn't blind today, and neither were the officers when they approached Rayshard Brooks."


Griggs further stated "a Fulton County Grand Jury should've decided the fate of Garrett Rolfe and Devin Brosnan, not two former members of law enforcement. There is no statute of limitations on a murder case, and there will be no statute of limitations on our efforts to ensure there is justice for Rayshard Brooks.”


The NAACP will continue to stand with the community and the family of Rayshard Brooks.
