What Happened To Messiah Young And Taniyah Pilgrim?

Black couple Tased by Atlanta Police.
BE WARNED THE VIDEOS ARE GRAPHIC!

The status quo needs to be changed. It starts at the ballot box.

Two Atlanta cops were personally fired out the cannon by the police chief Erika Shields and her boss. the mayor, Keisha Lance Bottoms. They were caught on camera pulling two young Black adults out of their vehicle during the protests. When the mayor issued a curfew for the downtown, midtown and Buckhead, the police were ordered to maintain order in the city.

Well Messiah Young and Taniyah Pilgrim were the unlikely victims of police brutality.

The Fulton County prosecutor's office is planning on charging these two as well as four other officers for felonious assault.

Young, 22 and Pilgrim, 20 were stuck in traffic on Saturday night. They were leaving the protests and were looking for something to eat.

Their night was interrupted by a group of Atlanta police officers, who confronted the two on Centennial Olympic Park Drive and Andrew Young International Boulevard in downtown Atlanta.

Young, a student at Morehouse College and Pilgrim, a student at Spelman College didn't expect themselves to be victims of police brutality.

"We felt we were going to die," said the two during an interview with the junk food media.







The dirty cops, Mark Gardner and Ivory Streeter were immediately fired out the cannon. They were caught acting aggressively towards the two. Using a billy club, one of the cops smashed the driver's side window. The couple were both Tased and thrown to the ground for no apparent cause.

Gardner, who joined APD in 1997, was the subject of two citizen complaints five years ago from Richard Williams. One was for "maltreatment or unnecessary force" and the other was for violation of the department's policy on personal weapons.
Two of six dirty cops were charged with excessive force with intent to harm.
Streeter, with APD since 2003, had just completed a class on “de-escalation” tactics, according to records kept by the state Peace Officer Standards and Training Council. He also completed a 6-hour course on use of force on May 7. Gardner took a 2-hour de-escalation class and a 3-hour class on use of force in late March 28, POST records show.

Young suffered a fractured arm and a cut that required 20 stitches.

He spent a night in the county lockup. Pilgrim spent hours in the back of a police van before she was released without explanation or an apology.

"You got the wrong ones this time," said Young's attorney Mawuli Davis, adding that his client never been arrested and contrary to previous reports, he did not have a weapon in his vehicle.

Davis said that Young was targeted by the law because he was filming the chaos in Atlanta.

Young is best described as a quiet and physically unassuming. He was shell-shocked that he was endured this encounter. He spent 42 hours in the county lockup.

"This has truly been one of the hardest things I've ever experienced in my life," said Young.
Atlanta issued a citywide curfew for the remaining week.
Four officers who were aided in the arrest of Young and Pilgrim were placed on desk duties.

Pilgrim said that one of those dirty cops was threatening to shot them. She said that the cop was named Officer A. Jones. The confirmation of the name is still pending.

The body camera footage is released and of course it's disturbing.



They are now facing felonious assault through excessive force. The two ex-cops and four others could face at least five years in the iron college for this incident.

Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said she ordered the dismissal of the officers after reviewing body camera footage with Police Chief Erika Shields.

Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said his office is "moving rapidly to reach an appropriate charging decision" regarding the officers’ conduct.Vince Champion, Southeast regional director for the International Brotherhood of Police Officers, said the officers' deserved a more thorough investigation."We don’t know why that car was stopped," Champion said. "Until we know what happened, we don't know if the officers did anything wrong or not."
CNN's world news campus in Atlanta was vandalized and ransacked.
I repeat myself over and over again! I use the same old copy and paste. I hear the same trolls saying that there's nothing we can do. I keep hearing "concern" trolls telling us that it's their own fault for their own deaths.

FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!

I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

THERE IS NO GOD!

GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!

We haven't forgotten about the many mass shootings in the United States. COVID-19 doesn't stop individuals from picking up firearms and killing others..

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

You are warned, do not use the services of (Jeffery) Shaun King. Please avoid this individual. He doesn't represent Black Lives Matter in anyway.
