"We will not allow the attempted destruction of our community through acts of violence and destruction," Carr said. "These acts are completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Our law enforcement officers will ensure that those who commit crimes are brought to justice."
The protests outside the Atlanta police academy were led by anti-fascist activists who sought to oppose the police's presence in the city. The protests turned violent and resulted in property damage and a few minor injuries.
The police responded by arresting several of the protesters and charging them with multiple counts of criminal mischief and disorderly conduct. According to the Georgia Recorder, the police are also investigating whether the protesters were involved in any other crimes, such as arson or inciting a riot.
