CNN | 6 Atlanta police officers booked on charges after alleged use of excessive force during protest

(CNN) – Six Atlanta police officers were booked, five on felony charges, Wednesday after allegations of using excessive force during a protest Saturday, according to the sheriff’s office.

All six have been released on signature bonds, according to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office. In a video recording of the incident, the officers are seen breaking windows of a vehicle, pulling a woman out of the car and tasing a man.

The two victims have been identified as students at Spelman and Morehouse, two historically black colleges. They were on their way home from picking up food when they got caught in traffic downtown caused by a protest of police violence against black citizens.–more—
