More than 20 people are facing domestic terrorism charges in the US after police were attacked with fireworks and molotov cocktails in a protest at a new training centre dubbed ‘Cop City.’
The Atlanta site has become the flashpoint of ongoing conflict between authorities and protestors for different causes including anti-police groups and environmental campaigners.
On Sunday, Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said at a midnight news conference, pieces of construction equipment were set on fire in what he called “a coordinated attack” at the site for the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center in DeKalb Count
