‘Cop City’ protest turns chaotic (VIDEOS)

Masked rioters vandalized the streets of Atlanta, Georgia

Hundreds of activists swarmed downtown Atlanta on Saturday in response to a call for a “night of rage,” after one person protesting a planned police training center was killed in a shootout with officers earlier this week. 

A crowd of mourners marched through the streets in a “largely peaceful protest,” as described by a local FOX reporter. The event turned violent after masked activists began throwing rocks and shooting fireworks at the Atlanta Police Foundation headquarters. 

The rioters also smashed the building’s windows with hammers, vandalized walls with anti-police graffiti, and set at least one police cruiser on fire, according to multiple photos and videos shared online.
