\n Two Atlanta cops who were fired after video showed them using stun guns on black college students during a protest are suing to get their jobs back.<\/p>\n

Former officers Mark Gardner and Ivory Streeter filed a court petition against Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and Police Chief Erika Shields on Monday after they were axed over the violent traffic stop on May 30.<\/p>\n

Their attorney claims in the suit that they were dismissed without proper due process, including an investigation or notice.<\/p>\n

Body camera footage showed six officers breaking the windows of a car and yanking the students, Taniyah Pilgrim, 20, and Messiah Young, 22, as they were returning home from George Floyd protests.<\/p>\n

Gardner used a Taser against Pilgrim during the traffic stop, while Streeter employed a stun gun on Young, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Bottoms said she and Shields reviewed the footage and decided to fire the two officers and place four other officers involved on desk duty.<\/p>\n

Gardner and Streeter have been charged with aggravated assault, and the others face charges including aggravated assault, simple battery, pointing or aiming a gun and criminal damage to property.<\/p>\n

Gardner and Streeter filed for back pay and benefits Monday in addition to their jobs being reinstated.<\/p>\n

\u201cPetitioners have suffered irreparable injury to their personal and professional reputations as a result of their unlawful dismissal,\u201d the suit says.<\/p>\n

Neither Bottoms nor the police department responded to a request for comment, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.<\/p>\n
