    I'm glad these pigs are off the street. Now only if the rest of America's police force can start holding their own pigs accountable [like they do citizens]...

    6 Atlanta officers charged after students pulled from car

    Two of the officers, Investigator Ivory Streeter and Investigator Mark Gardner, were fired Sunday.

    Streeter and Gardner are both charged with aggravated assault. Two others are also charged with aggravated assault, while one is charged with aggravated battery. Some of the officers are also charged with criminal damage to property as well as pointing or aiming a gun.

    [...]

    As the glass shatters, an officer uses a stun gun on Young and officers pull him from the car as officers shout, “Get your hand out of your pockets,” and, “He got a gun. He got a gun. He got a gun.” Once he’s out of the car and on the ground, officers zip tie Young’s hands behind his back and lead him away.

    Police reports do not list a gun as having been recovered.

    “I’m so happy that they’re being held accountable for their actions,” Pilgrim said at a news conference.

    “Drug enforcement agents should not be conducting covert surveillance of protests and First Amendment protected speech,” said Hugh Handeyside, a senior attorney for the ACLU. “That kind of monitoring and information sharing may well constitute unwarranted investigation of people exercising their constitutional rights to seek justice. The executive branch continues to run headlong in the wrong direction.”

    Three DEA sources told BuzzFeed News they are troubled by the memo and see it as an example of the Justice Department potentially abusing its power in an attempt to smear the protests and crack down on protected First Amendment activity.

    The sources requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak with the media.

    The more people out there documenting and arresting the looters and terrorists the better. The resulting data will give us a better idea of who is behind the crimes.

    What good does that do? Is it a good use of resources to go after some pot smokers on the street?
