Several people were arrested Saturday evening in downtown Atlanta during protests that came in response to a proposed police training facility and the fatal police shooting of an activist earlier in the week.
there were probably 200 - 250 protestors, a lot of them friends of tortugita who talked about how they were a beautiful person and a model emergency medic. people smashed the windows of a wells fargo, a very fancy hotel, and a cop car that was torched. and it was on atlanta's biggest tourist street, like this was happening across from a hooters and a hard rock cafe. a few people were arrested. i saw a line of maybe 20-25 cop cars driving to the protest, and helicopters over head. a few tourists asked about what the protest was about, seemed genuinely interested and horrified about cop city
and some black israelites trolled me on the way out.
though i really wish people wouldnt bring fireworks to shoot off, terrifying hearing that when idf trained cops are coming in with all the weapons taxpayers can buy

Aye fyi Tort uses they/them pronouns from what I heard. Like this testimony from their partner + one of their homies said that Tort was basically like a "trans parent" to the trans peeps at the forest.
Fyi the video is pretty sad, but I recommend for people to watch it.
they absolutely did, thank you for correcting me
