Two Atlanta police officers were fired after video footage showed them violently snatching two Black college students out of a vehicle.

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields reviewed body-camera video from the incident and moved, after determining excessive use of force, to fire the officers and place three others on desk duty.

“Morehouse College appreciates the swift action that Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms took against the Atlanta Police Department officers involved in the incident,” D. Aileen Dodd, senior manager of Media and Public Relations at Morehouse, told Atlanta Black Star in an email.

Young and his father along with Pilgrim, spoke on the incident during a June 1 news conference at Morehouse College.

On Sunday, May 31, Mayor Bottoms apologized for the arrest and announced two officers were fired for the incident.
