Dozens of people were arrested Sunday night at the site of Atlanta’s future police training facility after “agitators” destroyed construction materials and attacked officers, authorities said.
Atlanta police said the attackers used a peaceful protest as cover before they “changed into black clothing, entered the construction area, and began throwing large rocks, bricks, Molotov cocktails and fireworks at police officers.”
Authorities took 35 people into custody and said multiple pieces of construction equipment were burned or vandalized in the attack.
A video of the incident released by police shows a group of people clad in black clothing throwing fireworks at officers at one of the construction site’s entrances.
