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.
