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 had just attended one of the many protests of police violence against Black citizens taking place around the country.
Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields expressed concern about the charges in an internal memo and indicated she hadn't expected them.
