ATLANTA PROTESTS

ATLANTA (AP) � Six Atlanta police officers have been charged after a dramatic video showed authorities pulling two young people from a car during protests over the death of George Floyd.

Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard announced the charges during a news conference Tuesday.  

Four are charged with aggravated assault and one with aggravated battery, along with other charges.  

Video from Saturday shows police officers surrounding a car driven by a man with a woman passenger.

The officers used stun guns on both the man and woman, who are rising seniors at historically black colleges in Atlanta.
