Report: Atlanta Protesters Tear-Gassed After Throwing Fireworks at Police
Breitbart ^ | June 10, 2025 | Elizabeth Weibel

As anti-ICE protests spread across the country, protesters in Atlanta, Georgia, were seen being tear-gassed after they reportedly threw fireworks at police officers.

WSB-TV 2 Atlanta reported that “hundreds” of protesters gathered for a protest hosted by the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) along Buford Highway.

PSL hosted the protest to show support for the ongoing riots in Los Angeles that have involved demonstrators looting businesses, setting fire to and vandalizing Waymo self-driving vehicles, and tearing up sidewalks and throwing rocks at law enforcement officials over an overpass.

Per the outlet, “by the end of the night, there was a heavy police presence,” and around 9:30 p.m., after police directed protesters to go home, some people “began to fight back”:

But as police told the crowd to go home around 9:30 p.m., the mood changed, and some protesters began to fight back.

Video captured by our Channel 2 Action News photographer showed people throwing fireworks at law enforcement.

That’s when officers began arresting people. Police also used tear gas to help disperse the crowd.

A well regulated militia is waiting for Trump to call on us. Anytime. We are ready.

Tear gas, rubber bullets, fire hose, flash bangs, stun guns, cattle prods. All of them should be used. Then lock their asses up along with their twisted political leaders.

With all the riff raff we’ve seen on the streets in LA, Chicago and Atlanta and no one’s been shot yet? That must be some kind of record.

I have issues with police and protesters generally, support eitger sude depending on the situation and tactics, but.....

...why can’t the police fire roman candles back at the protesters firing same on them?

We want an equal country. 2nd Amendment does not want unarmed poluce and armed citizenry, but both armed, so that both can be respectful...or disrespectful. Jerks choose whichever they want.

‘Merica.

If they are both going to wear black and face shields and spray capsicum, both should have rocks, molotov cocktails, and fireworks in hand.

I’m certain we could find a judge to require Trump provide each side equally, lol.

Me thinks more cops would join up...work overtime.

“ We need a Kent State.”

Understand the sentiment , but that’s what they want.
Look what it did in the 60’s.
Gave sympathy to the anarchists.

We had heard there was trouble in Dunwoody which is a pretty upscale area. But Buford Hwy is Doraville which has a lot of illegals as does our area near Lilburn.
