Approximately 35 people have been detained after “Stop Cop City” protestors allegedly set fire to a construction site of Atlanta Public Safety Training Facility, nicknamed “Cop City” by anti-police and environmental activists.
The Atlanta Public Safety Training Facility is located in South River and neighbors a Black neighborhood, a site which activists believe will further escalate police militarization.
According to the Atlanta Police Department, a group of “agitators” left South River Music Festival around 5:30 p.m. and went to the construction site “to conduct a coordinated attack on construction equipment and police officers.”
Authorities stated that the group changed into black clothing and began to throw commercial-grade fireworks, Molotov cocktails, large rocks and bricks at police officers.
