The Atlanta Police Department announced the arrests of 23 people following a music festival that turned into a violent protest at the location where Atlanta plans to build a police and fire training facility.
On Sunday, around 5:30 p.m., police said a group of violent agitators used the cover of a peaceful protest to create a coordinated attack on construction equipment and police officers at the proposed Atlanta Public Safety Training Center.
Atlanta officials stated the group changed into all black, went inside the construction area, and threw large rocks, bricks, Molotov cocktails, and fireworks at law enforcement.
[I’d be cautious about this claim until either police or the SPLC acknowledge it. “Tom Jurgens” is not necessarily a unique name. However, if this does turn out to be accurate, then the FBI will have to further explain its partnership with the SPLC on identifying groups and individuals as hate groups and domestic terrorists. — Ed]
