Videos show Atlanta police attempting to control and de-escalate a violent protest at the site for a new public safety training facility, dubbed ‘cop city’ by opponents, on Sunday. The chaos spiraled from a February shootout between police and a 26-year-old activist, who died from his injuries, while law enforcement cleared the property. Authorities said 23 people involved were arrested and charged with domestic terrorism. The Law&Crime Network’s Sierra Gillespie details the incident.

didn't mention that the killed protester was wanted for killing a cop
Police are the self-declared enemy of the American working class. Their violent attempts to destroy the popular opposition to the widely-hated Cop City will only unite us more.
Im gonna get flack for this.
"Cop City" or also known as the Atlanta Training Center, is a training center for Police, fire fighters, and EMS. There proposed to build on 85 acres of 400 acres in South River Forrest. Its planned to take the space where the "Atlanta Prison Farm" was and where the previouse polics academy was. Atlanta Training ground states "Prior to construction the space was filled with thousands of illegally dumped tires, mattresses, and other hazardous materials and debris". Take with a grain of salt this is from the peeps building the training ground.
As far as the protests go, there is video of protesters throwing Rocks, Bricks, Fireworks and Molitov Cocktails. Take that with a bit less salt as there is video of it. Theres news articles as recent as yesterday fir Arson of "Cop City". I'm just bringing this up to show that theres 2 sides to every story.
The only terrorists there are the Police
I stand with the citizens the cops have no right there
The US government needs to fear it's citizens
Better trained cop means quick response time and less problems cause be not enough experience
Once help the bad guys, the villains itself aren't lonely anymore. – Citizens and law experts.
Hey, cop city proving why they need to be built and located where they are. How ironic.
ACAB
How many shots to take down 1 peaceful man SMH I bet cops get hit in crossfire by other trigger happy mag dumpers more then shot by criminals 💯
There going to do what they want and we have no say in our government…. Americans wake up..
Take them out. Get rid of cop city!!!
Why do they feel the need to destroy acres and acres of beautiful green space.
Corporations are the only ones funding this for a reason. Those corporations own equity firms. Those equity firms are going to be handing out eviction notices. Good thing they have a private force of cops who know how to run military drills on American streets.
Any conservative that supports cop city is watching them create the force, right in front of them, that will come and take their guns. They know how to take care of protestors. Theyre coming for YOU, right winger.
The police are only for protecting Rich people and the democrats so stepping up against them will result in death or prison
Copaganda at its finest 🙄
Did the guy in the tent have a gun and threaten the cops? Video was not clear on what.
Destructive Military Force and Dictating Police Forces is exactly how places like North Korea became so overcontrolled and overruling of their people there. Excessive Military Force and Excessive Police Force is DESTRUCTIVE, HARMFUL, DAMAGING, and NOT GOOD FOR ANY COUNTRY PERIOD!!!!!
To all Stop Cop City petitioners, come down here to Southwest Atlanta near West Manor Park TODAY on August 14th to knock on more doors to get more signatures! Keep on knocking on peoples doors ALL Day and NIGHT to get the MOST Signatures as Possible!
The Vast Destruction of Nature is EXACTLY what's wrong with the world. Humanity is so trifling
They are gathering signatures opposing the training facility. Get the addresses of those people and do not answer calls or patrol their residences. Police officers are needed and also proper training facilities. They don't want law enforcement protection don't give it to them. They are largely outsiders but residents need no protection if that is their preference. Protesters need a different hobby.
Power to the protesters! ACAB
“He died as a result of his injuries” passive ah phrasing
Incredibly dishonest reporting. May their heads roll.
TORT WAS MY FRIEND!
Most ignorant pussies in corrupt police go to cop city to die
This is why they need sniper towers.
Apparently nearly all of these so-called “protestors” are paid, imported domestic terrorists. The big question – who is paying them and why?
Looks like a militia
Keep fighting the good fight!
Protest +organised violence = terrorism
Did they shoot? Did they have a gun?? Do you have that info?
Horrible journalism
They lit that arse up ⬆️ 👀👀👀👀 they not playing with y’all in the A
Police antagonized this situation
Because setting a car on fire in the forest is really caring about the forest or the environment. Who let the buffoons out of the zoo
