The Atlanta Police Department has fired two more police officers in connection with a May 30 incident in which two college students were tasered and dragged out of their vehicle while stuck in traffic after a protest march.
Body camera footage shows the officers using force to arrest Morehouse College student Messiah Young, 22, and his girlfriend Taniyah Pilgrim, 20, who attends Spelman College.
But Atlanta station WSB-TV now confirms two other officers, Lonnie Hood and Armond Jones were also fired Wednesday afternoon (June 10).
Streeter and Gardner claim they were terminated without an investigation and that their use of force in the May 30 incident was not illegal, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Pilgrim’s attorney Chris Stewart said the couple was tasered multiple times and said she had to seek further medical attention after the incident was over.
