The Georgia Law Enforcement Organization, a statewide nonprofit that supported officers Garrett Rolfe and Devin Brosnan following the Rayshard Brooks shooting, announced that it received more than $750,000 in donations for the two officers’ legal defense.

“To this day, over two years after the initial incident, we have still not been presented with a shred of evidence to suggest that our initial assessment of their innocence was wrong,” the organization said in a statement following Tuesday’s announcement that no criminal charges against Rolfe and Brosnan would be pursued.

“Today’s announcement that all charges are being dismissed is exactly how we anticipated this case to go, and even with the corrupt politics from former politicians who were involved in this case, we knew that the justice system would prevail,” the statement said.
