Atlanta, GA – Rioters attacked police with explosives and bricks and set construction equipment ablaze during a “coordinated attack” at the site of the future Public Safety Training Facility on Sunday, according to investigators.
“This was a very violent attack that occurred this evening,” Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum told reporters, according to WAGA.
Demonstrators have been protesting the training center, which they’ve dubbed “Cop City,” for months.
At least 35 suspects have been arrested so far in connection with the mayhem. Finally! Some push back!
“The illegal actions of the agitators could have resulted in bodily harm,” the APD said. “Officers exercised restraint and used non-lethal enforcement to conduct arrests.”
