Two Atlanta police officers who were charged with assault after using excessive force during the arrest of two college students during protests last month are trying to get their jobs back, according to a lawsuit filed June 8.

The two offending officers, Ivory Streeter and Mark Gardner, were seen in downtown Atlanta breaking the windows of a vehicle before using a stun gun on a man and pulling out a woman.
