2021-06-19 -War on Police-
Two black students dragged from their car by cops and stunned with tasers when they were caught in traffic during BLM protests sue Atlanta, its police and the mayor
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Taniyah Pilgrim, 21, and Messiah Young, 23, filed a federal lawsuit Thursday

  • The suit accuses Atlanta cops of assault, false arrest and says one cop dangerously escalated the confrontation by falsely claiming the pair had a gun

  • The city, nine officers and Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms are defendants

  • The two students were driving home on May 30 2020 when they got stuck in traffic amid protests over the police murder of George Floyd

  • Police bodycam footage captured officers shouting, tasering and dragging them from their car as they screamed and asked what they had done wrong

  • Six cops were charged over the incident, two were fired then reinstated
Two Black college students sue a Black mayor and six policemen, five of whom are also Black — so clearly racism isn’t the problem.

Forget bodycams for cops, for now on all cops should have wood chippers hauled behind their vehicles... for use in escalated situations, similar to the above...
Get it over with Man, Like Joe would say.
