6 Atlanta cops charged with excessive force after tasing, dragging 2 victims from their car

Six police officers in Atlanta, Ga. have been charged with excessive force after video surfaced of the officers dragging two college students out of a vehicle and using a stun gun on them on Saturday.

Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard announced during a press conference on Tuesday that arrest warrants were issued for officers Lonnie Hood, Roland Claud, Mark Gardner, Armond Jones, Willie Sauls and Ivory Streeter. The officers have until Friday, June 5 to turn themselves in.

Victims Messiah Young and Taniyah Pilgram had stopped their car to film video of the officers during an encounter with a different individual. The officers attempted to force open the victims’ car door, and began using a baton to break the window.
