The Atlanta police officers involved in the violent arrest and tasering of 2 black college students who were in their vehicle during protests this weekend are now facing charges … on the heels of 2 of them losing their jobs.
The Fulton Country DA has charged 6 cops for using excessive force during the incident with Messiah Young and Taniyah Pilgrim Saturday night. Four of the cops — including the one who tased Pilgrim and the one who pointed a gun at Young — have also been charged with aggravated assault.
Another officer has been charged with aggravated battery and the sixth with criminal damage to property … the couples’ car.
Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms fired 2 of the officers almost immediately after learning of the incident, and the other 4 were placed on desk duty.
