Two police officers fired and three others placed on desk duty over excessive use of force during a protest arrest incident involving two college students - Atlanta’s Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms
Dramatic body camera video that police released on Sunday night shows police taking another young man into custody in a downtown street alongside a line of stopped cars. The man is pleading with police to let him go, saying he didn't do anything.
As the glass shatters, an officer uses a stun gun on Young and officers pull him from the car as officers shout, “Get your hand out of your pockets,” and, “He got a gun. He got a gun. He got a gun.” Once he's out of the car and on the ground, officers zip tie Young's hands behind his back and lead him away.The mayor said she had delayed the news conference several hours to review all the body-camera footage because she and Shields wanted to be certain about what happened.
“Sometimes the best thing, the only thing you can do as a police chief is come in and clean up the mess that’s before you,” Shields said. Officer Maximilian Brewer suffered significant injuries to his legs and remained in the intensive care unit on Sunday evening, Shields said, adding that she hopes he’ll be able to walk again. The ATV rider was taken into custody at the scene and to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
