Two Atlanta officers fired for excessive force, mayor says
Three officers on desk duty, mayor says
Two Atlanta officers fired for excessive force, mayor says
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced Sunday two police officers were fired after complaints that they used excessive force, including tasing a Spelman College student , during the city’s curfew crackdown Saturday night.
“Some time during the night, I saw very disturbing video of two young college students who were in downtown Atlanta yesterday evening. The use of force is never acceptable,” Bottoms said.
The Spelman student was riding with a young man the college identified as a former Morehouse College student near downtown Atlanta when they were ordered out the vehicle.
“A police officer then opened the door, tased her and pushed her on the ground,” Spelman College President Mary Schmidt Campbell said in a statement. “She was taken into custody. Her crime? Nothing. She was not charged and, after several hours in custody, was released.”
The male driver was also tased, Channel 2 Action News reported.
Friends identified the two as Teniyah Pilgrom, 20, and Messiah Young, 22. Morehouse student government association president John Bowers III called the incident an act of “blatant racism.”
“The nation’s underlying turmoil is having the iron curtain pulled away from its hidden defects of economic, healthcare and judicial system disparities, all fueled by the pigmentation of one’s skin,” Bowers, who knows Pilgrom and Young, said in a statement he shared on social media.
Young is part of this year’s graduating class from Morehouse, Bowers said.
Bottoms ordered a 9 p.m. curfew that began Saturday to stop the looting and unrest that occurred the night before in downtown Atlanta and other parts of the city.
The mayor said she postponed press conference scheduled for 2 p.m. Sunday for four hours so that she and Atlanta police Chief Erika Shields could review body cam footage from the five officers involved.

"After extensive review of that footage, Chief Shields and I made the determination that two of the officers involved in that incident will be terminated immediately," Bottoms said. "The three other officers are right now on desk duty."
The two were in the area to observe the demonstrations, when they got stuck in traffic before the curfew, Spelman said.
The college, located near downtown, is part of the Atlanta University Center Consortium, a collective of the city’s historically black colleges and universities. The schools have a long history of being involved in civil rights protests, including Black Lives Matter protests in recent years.
Campbell co-wrote a letter Sunday with the presidents of three of those schools - Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse and Morehouse School of Medicine - demanding an investigation.
“It is clear that the behavior of law enforcement in this country must change,” the letter said. “Incidents like the one last night and the many events of police violence (recorded and unrecorded) leading up to today heighten the urgency of this need for change. And we support our students as champions and activists on behalf of change.”

Yeah cube you lost a few points with me with that hold the vote BS
anybody can buy "less than lethal" ammunition.Can these non lethal rounds be purchased by civilians?
rubber bullets wont cycle through most automatic magazines, so you have to use a revolver or pump shotgun.
This should be a rule and not an exception moving forward with cases like this and also a re-opening with cases from the past.
"Terrorists" with a zero body count. Literally zero. No real organization to speak of beyond a loose commitment to challenging facists. This shit is incredible. Any dissenter can potentially now be labeled "antifa" and be disappeared, detained etc using the insanely over-broad terrorism powers we've given over to these people. Folks need to push back hard on this bc these authoritarian fucks are consolidating more and more power.
That's almost as bad as the chick who stole a cheesecake out the Cheesecake Factory Restaurant, LOL
He may be able to single handedly quell the pain of a nation IF he moves right.Its about fucking time
Get all these fucks in jail and make it stick. Death penalty and all that.
Goes without saying but turn this bitch tf up.
She was strolling out of there up the street like she just paid for it......probably crazy enough to setup a romantic setting in front of a burning police van.....That's almost as bad as the chick who stole a cheesecake out the Cheesecake Factory Restaurant, LOL
