An Atlanta district attorney has dropped the charges for six police officers accused of battery and aggravated assault against two college students, after they were out past curfew following a George Floyd protest in 2020, the DA announced Monday.
Video footage shows officers on foot confronting two Black young adults, Taniyah Pilgrim and Messiah Young, who, at the time, were students of Spelman College and Morehouse College, respectively. The pair had been passing officers in a car 45 minutes after the city's 9 p.m. curfew.
