This image provided by the Atlanta Police Department shows construction equipment set on fire March 4, 2023 by a group protesting the planned public safety training centre, according to police. More than 20 people from around the country faced domestic terrorism charges Monday after dozens of young men in black masks attacked the site of a police training centre under construction in a wooded area outside Atlanta where one protester was killed in January.
Almost all those of arrested are from various locations around the country while one is from France and another is from Canada, police said. Protesters against what detractors call "Cop City" run the gamut from more traditional environmental environmentalists to young, self-styled anarchists seeking clashes with what they see as an unjust society.
Surveillance video released by police show a piece of heavy equipment in flames. It was among multiple pieces of construction gear that were destroyed, police said. Protesters threw rocks, bricks, Molotov cocktails, and fireworks at police, officials said. Along with classrooms and administrative buildings, the training centre would include a shooting range, a driving course to practice chases and a "burn building" for firefighters to work on putting out fires. A "mock village" featuring a fake home, convenience store and nightclub would also be built for rehearsing raids.
