In September, approximately 60 Antifa militants were charged under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) in connection with the Atlanta “Cop City” riots and officer assaults.
On 381 acres in the South River Forest, also known as the Weelaunee Forest, would be the $90 million training facility that protesters have dubbed “Cop City.”
According to the 109-page indictment, over 60 Antifa militants violated RICO.
It is unclear if the police made any arrests on Monday.
The Associated Press reported:
Police used tear gas and flash-bang grenades Monday to halt a march seeking to stop construction of a police and firefighter training center in Atlanta.
More than 500 people on Monday marched about 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) from a park to the site, which is just outside the Atlanta city limits in suburban DeKalb County.
A wedge of marchers, including some in masks, goggles and chemical suits intended to protect against tear gas, pushed into a line of officers in riot gear on a road outside the training center site. Officers pushed back and then responded with tear gas, with one protester throwing a canister back at officers.
Let me get this straight: Antifa wanted to stop the police from being trained and, in the process ends up helping to train them.
It sounds like something a liberal would do.
