Who fired Brooks after the shooting? Was it the police chief or the mayor?
From what I read the chief retired and made a brief statement that included support for Mayor Bottoms but really didn't give a reason for the resignation leaving me wondering if the chief resigned in protest of the cop's firing or in support of it and just throwing in the towel due to the controversy sure to follow.
Anyone know who was responsible for firing the cop?

Also, she's not leaving the department completely, just shifting to another position.

Plus, the chief got into a squabble with Mayor and DA over firings and charges related to stopping of two students a week or so ago.
