Opponents have said the 'cop city' will be used to practice “urban warfare,' saying that building the 85-acre training center would involve cutting down so many trees that it would be environmentally damaging.
Video released by police showed people shooting fireworks toward officers. A construction vehicle was set on fire as dozens of people swarmed the area.
“When it’s a legitimate protest, you have the full protection of the Atlanta Police Department. This is not a protest. This is criminal activity,” he said. “When you throw commercial-grade fireworks; when you throw Molotov cocktails, large rocks, a number of objects at officers — your only intent is to harm, and the charges are going to show that.”
Police arrested 23 people between the ages of 18 and about 48 on domestic terrorism charges. Police said a majority of the suspects were not from the Atlanta area. Among other locations, one person hailed from Canada while another was France, officials said.
