Chaos erupted at the future site of the Atlanta public safety training center Sunday evening after nearly 150 protesters burned construction equipment and threw large rocks and Molotov cocktails at police, according to authorities.
Atlanta Police said that a group of "violent agitators" took advantage of peaceful protesters around 5:30 p.m. when they changed into all black clothing and made an attack against police officers and construction equipment. According to police, 35 people have now been detained so far.
APD said in addition to Molotov cocktails and rocks, the protesters threw bricks and fireworks at officers. In a release late Sunday night, Atlanta Police said officers "exercised restraint" and used non-lethal methods to make arrests.
