The dust has settled in Atlanta after hundreds of protesters and police clashed on Monday, Nov. 13. Local and out-of-state activists marched to protest the construction of the $90 million fire and police training center outside of Atlanta that has been dubbed “Cop City.”

“Hey hey, ho ho, Cop City has got to go,” protesters chanted.
The clash is the latest event in a long-standing, two-year battle between activists and law enforcement in Atlanta over the training facility. In August, 61 people were indicted after earlier protests turned violent. Georgia’s attorney general called them “militant anarchists.”
