Nearly two dozen people arrested in connection to the violence at the future site of a police training center in Atlanta on Sunday reportedly face domestic terrorism charges.
Jail records show 23 individuals were arrested by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and were booked on domestic terrorism charges, according to local NBC affiliate 11 Alive.
Police said they arrested at least 35 people from a group of “violent agitators” wearing all-black “used the cover of a peaceful protest” and conducted a “coordinated attack” at the construction area of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, which critics have dubbed “Cop City.”
People launched fireworks and threw large rocks, bricks, and Molotov cocktails during the clash, said police, and some construction equipment caught fire. No officers were injured, per police.
In a statement, Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp said “domestic terrorism will NOT be tolerated in this state,” and pledged, “We will not rest until those who use violence and intimidation for an extremist end are brought to full justice.”
