‘International group’ involved in attack on Atlanta’s ‘Cop City’
The flare-up unfolded when protesters, dressed in all black, started throwing rocks, bricks, fireworks and Molotov cocktails at cops in what police have described as a “coordinated attack.”
Surveillance footage captured towering plumes of smoke and flames rising from the site after the heavy equipment was set alight. Multiple cops from neighboring communities were called in to help deescalate the situation, according to Schierbaum. “As I’ve said before, domestic terrorism will NOT be tolerated in this state,” Kemp said in a statement. “We will not rest until those who use violence and intimidation for an extremist end are brought to full justice.”
