They threw bottles, rocks, fireworks and bullets at the cops defending the workers and other cops. It seemed like there was no end to the confrontation. OK, enough of this BS! The cops had orders to arrest and detain those participating in this silly and unnecessary tactic. Of the numerous arrests only a few were from Georgia. A bunch were from MN and OR. Why does that not surprise anyone. In addition to police vehicles being destroyed and damaged the construction equipment was also vandalized and destroyed.
The GA Attorney General recently indicted 61 of these bozo’s. Of course the hue and cry went up from the usual suspects.
The purpose of the police training area or “Cop City” is to train Atlanta and other police officers/firefighters throughout the state. I think most would agree that training of first responders is an important undertaking. Highly skilled and trained cops and firefighters are crucial in the current climate of hyper excitement and playing to the cameras. This is not only true for the control of violent demonstrator’s but for that “routine” arrest.
