Last night Antifa attacked Atlanta police officers over a proposed new training facility.
According to Andy Ngo, “the rioters are part of @defendATLforest, an armed group that occupied public land for months near Atlanta.”
Ngo says this Antifa group was getting revenge on police for their autonomous zone being shut down and 19 of their members being charged with domestic terrorism.
According to police, Antifa used the cover of a peaceful protest to attack the officers with rocks, bricks, Molotov cocktails and fireworks. They changed into black clothing and, at least initially, forced officers to retreat as they destroyed construction equipment.
