Red State explained the genesis of the protest: Now, the night started with a protest against the police, in the memory of one of their comrades, Manuel Teran. Teran had been shot and killed by the police after he allegedly shot a cop, when police came to clear protesters out of an area they had been occupying where the city is constructing a police training center. The radicals have had several people, in multiple incidents, arrested for domestic terrorism at the site, including for throwing Molotov cocktails at the police. Notice how everyone is dressed in black and masked up — this isn’t a protest that accidentally devolved into a riot. It’s like most Antifa actions; it’s a ‘protest’ in anticipation of the riot, as people break away and then attack things.Local Atlanta reporter calls the protest in Atlanta "largely peaceful protest" as a police cruiser is on fire in the background.

Needless to say, this 'mostly peaceful protest' soon turned violent -- as was the plan all along -- with Antifa rioters attacking the Atlanta Police Foundation Building as well as other businesses and setting at least one police vehicle on fire, as seen in the background of the local news report. Journalist Andy Ngo, a veteran of Antifa protests, also noted the violence, as well as outing the leftists who attacked police initially at the new training site. "A news crew captured footage of #Antifa militants smashing up businesses in downtown Atlanta on Saturday at their violent organized "retaliation" against police for shooting dead their gunman comrade. The gunman at the autonomous zone shot a state trooper," he reported.?#BREAKING: Violent protests have been reported in Atlanta

Regardless of what the local media goofballs were reporting, the mayor of Atlanta put the lie quickly to the "mostly peaceful protest" claim. He noted that most were from out of town -- not even from the city or even the region -- and some were found to be in possession of explosives, proving again that it was never going to be a simple 'protest.' “Yes, you heard that correctly, explosives,” Dickens said. That led to a police officer’s car being set on fire, Dickens explained. “Make no mistake about it, these individuals meant harm to people and to property.”A news crew captured footage of #Antifa militants smashing up businesses in downtown Atlanta on Saturday at their violent organized "retaliation" against police for shooting dead their gunman comrade.
