6 Atlanta officers charged after students pulled from car

Six Atlanta police officers have been charged after a dramatic video showed authorities pulling two young people from a car and shooting them with stun guns while they were stuck in traffic caused by protests over George Floyd’s death, a prosecutor said Tuesday.

Pulling people from cars, tazing them, and setting them up by pretending they're armed. Sounds like a third world dictatorship. Again.

I'm reminded of the story about Marcus Jeter. Police did the same thing, broke the car window, and started beating him up while screaming, "Stop going for my gun." These antics happen too often.

The interesting question is what would have happened had there been no video? Would the alleged criminals have gotten away with it?

Another interesting question - will we see posts asking if the violent destruction of personal property by a few members of a group discredits the whole policing "movement"?

Discrediting the whole movement the entire purpose of those only talking about riots without acknowledging police brutality. These same people will crow how the actions of a few should not define everyone, but now they're trying to do the same with these protests.
