Peaceful Protest in Downtown Atlanta Turns Violent, Six Arrested

A peaceful protest in downtown Atlanta on Saturday evening turned violent after a group of protesters began committing illegal acts, such as breaking windows, attacking police cruisers, and setting a police cruiser on fire. The protest was in response to a proposed police training facility and the fatal police shooting of an environmental activist earlier in the week. The Atlanta Police Department is asking for anyone with information about the incident to come forward and is encouraging peaceful protests.
