'...How can a broken arm and 25 stitches be deemed the appropriate response for an alleged curfew violation?' The six officers were cleared of all charges following a nine-month independent investigation into the incident.
after a protest in 2020. The dismissal comes nearly two years after video allegedly showing the officers assaulting the students during the arrest sparked national outrage.
Patel said in a statement that Messiah Young, 22, and Teniyah Pilgrim, 20, were violating curfew and were encountered by officers at approximately 9:44 p.m. on May 30, 2020. He said the officers' use of force was a"direct result" of the pair's alleged"resistance to and noncompliance with the officers' instructions."
Video footage showed an officer tell Young, who was in the driver's seat of the vehicle, to keep moving. Seconds later, another officer tried to pulled Young out of the car. Young was able to drive off but was stopped later down the road, where officers could be seen swarming the vehicle. Officers can be seen using their tasers on both Pilgrim and Young, who said he was pulled onto the pavement and punched at least 10 times during the encounter.
Patel said Monday that the video of the arrest was"not an accurate portrayal of the entire encounter" between Young, Pilgrim and police. He did not specify if he meant the body camera footage or other footage that appeared online.
