After protests began in Minneapolis, the city where Floyd was killed, they began happening in other cities that have seen injustice like New York City, Los Angeles, Oakland, Atlanta and Chicago.
In a video circulating on social media, Messiah Young and Taniyah Pilgrim are stopped, the car windows broken, tazed and dragged out of the vehicle they’re in and arrested for being out past the curfew.
“Tonight in Atlanta, GA around 9:30pm, Messiah Young and Taniyah Pilgrim were wrongfully stopped and disrespected by Atlanta Police Department on their way home,” reads the GoFundMe page.
Since last night, 71 people have been arrested in Atlanta since last night and 20 Atlanta Police Department vehicles have been damaged.
Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields said the unrest will not be tolerated going forward.
