Update on this incident:
www.huffingtonpost.ca
Atlanta moved quickly Sunday to immediately fire two police officers involved in the violent arrest of two young Black people who were roughly dragged from a car and apparently shocked with stun guns as anti-racism protests erupted across the nation.
The ugly confrontation was captured live on video by CBS 46 Saturday as a group of officers suddenly stormed a car with the two college students inside.
City and police officials spent the day studying the body cams of the officers involved after Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said she saw the “disturbing” video. She announced at an evening press briefing that two officers would be fired immediately, and three others would be assigned to desk duty pending further investigation.
“There clearly was an excessive use of force,” Bottoms said. “We understand that our officers are working very long hours under an enormous amount of stress, but we also understand that the use of excessive force is never acceptable.”
Police Chief Erika Shields said it was “shocking” to see how police were “manhandling a couple of young people in their car.”

If only he could retweet the speech of some actual leader from the past that would help in this situation.
