6 Atlanta officers charged after students pulled from car

"I feel a little safer now that these monsters are off the street and no longer able to terrorize anyone else," said Messiah Young, who was dragged from the vehicle along with his girlfriend, Taniyah Pilgrim, while they were caught in traffic.

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said Pilgrim was released without charges. She said Young, was released, too, and she's ordering the charges against him dropped. She didn't specify what charges he faced. A police report says Young was charged with attempting to elude police and driving with a suspended license.

Young, sitting in the driver's seat of a car stopped in the street holds up his phone, appearing to shoot video as an officer approaches and pulls the driver's side door open. Young pulls the door shut and says repeatedly, "I'm not dying today." He urges the officers to release the other man and let him get in the car as the dark sedan advances a bit.

These crooked cops really yelled “he’s got a gun” when they didn’t see one Fkn gun and no gun was recovered at the end of the day from both students, the police are a joke

I hope they file a civil lawsuit as well

So you are all in favour of cops being hels responsible, but you are ok with people being free to riot, loot, beat people up etc.. got it

Fucking word! Held the Gestapo accountable.

Police take a oath to serve and protect EVERYBODY. Not harass,maim and murder people of color. I hope this is a step in the right direction. BlackLivesMatter blacklivesmattercanada ICantBreathe

YES ! ! ! ! ! ! BlackLivesMatter blackoutuesday

This is what needs to happen every time a cop abuses their power. This is justice. This is what the people want, until then.. the looting and rioting and protesting won’t stop.

Good. The cops ignored the car in front of them w white ppl. They broke the driver's window and tased him repeatedly. They opened the passenger door and repeatedly pepper sprayed the girl. They were stopped stuck in traffic. Those office need to go to jail. BlackLivesMatter

Finally some justice. Finally we are seeing that police officers harming protestors are being held accountable for their disgusting actions. This is just the beginning. BlackLivesMatter
