Atlanta Chief Erika Shields fired two officers and benched three others involved in an incident with two college students during protests in the death of George Floyd who died after being restrained by Minneapolis police officers on May 25, 2020. A prosecutor announced criminal charges, Tuesday, June 2 against six officers. Hood is charged with two counts of Aggravated Assault and Simple Battery.

Body camera footage shows a group of Atlanta police officers confronting 22-year-old Messiah Young and 20-year-old Taniyah Pilgrim in a car in downtown traffic caused by protests sparked by the killing of George Floyd in Minnesota.

Good start. Keep it up.

They thought that the privilege applied to them. Them: 'We'll be fine, we're police officers' The System:

Black officers pulling criminals from a car. Stop the rioting!

Liberal city, liberal corruption. I’m sure they’re many more at all levels of the city government

Those officers were not protecting or serving those citizens. Contact your officials at each level of government & demand they support federal Reparations for Black American Descendants of Slavery. This government debt must be paid. ADOS 🇺🇲🇺🇲🏁🏁

Black police brutality? How can that be? I thought it was because of sYsTeMiC rAcIsM?

✅ Black Society DEMANDS FEDERAL 👉🏾LEGISLATION👈🏾 that will DEFINITIVELY PUNISH ALL Judicial & Police Officials in regards to the MURDERING of unarmed BLACK people ✅ an END to the entire SYSTEM of WHITE SUPREMACY in ALL areas of Activity Cut the CHECK 💵 ReparationsOrNoVotes

Good if accurate

No protesters have been fired for attacking Police

I believe that the police are needed if for nothing else to give criminals pause. I do think that the bad seeds should immediately get the axe. Good on APD

A good start

Were the police Antifa?
