After Georgia Police Kill Left-Wing Activist, Antifa Sparks Riots in Atlanta

Julio had this story first. A left-wing agitator encamped near Atlanta’s future training facility for law enforcement, dubbed "cop city," was killed this week as police executed a raid. The forested location is the new ground zero for leftists hoping to impede the construction of the new building. The city is looking to complete the center later this year. Left-wingers have flocked to the area, setting up barricades and occupying the location in a situation reminiscent of the CHAZ zone in Seattle during the 2020 election.

When police arrived, a confrontation ensued as the protester refused to leave his tent. He ignored repeated orders to vacate and then opened fire on officers, wounding one. Police returned fire, killing the suspect, which has infuriated leftists, calling for a night of rage to avenge their fallen “comrade.” Manuel Teran was identified as the protester killed in the officer-involved shooting. At least four others were also arrested:

sounds like an attempted INSURRECTION!

I am sure the FBI will get right on this as they have been on the Jan 6th protests!

Anti-KKK laws were once common I believe.

If these people don’t normally go masked in crowded places, then they might be subject to such a law if Georgia currently has one.

Law enforcement officers need training to prevent unnecessary deaths.

These people are fighting efforts to provide such proper and necessary training.

These people are insane.

The left view shooting at a cop a “right”. The cops are supposed to just take the bullet.
What an upside down world we live in.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan_Act

This legislation was asked for by President Grant and passed within one month of when he sent the request to Congress. Grant’s request was a result of the reports he was receiving of widespread racial threats in the Deep South, particularly in South Carolina. He felt that he needed to have his authority broadened before he could effectively intervene. After the act’s passage, the president had the power for the first time to both suppress state disorders on his own initiative and to suspend the writ of habeas corpus. Grant did not hesitate to use this authority on numerous occasions during his presidency, and as a result the KKK was completely dismantled (ending the “first Klan” era) and did not resurface in any meaningful way until the beginning of the 20th century.[4]

Several of the act’s provisions still exist today as codified statutes. The most important of these is 42 U.S.C. § 1983: Civil action for deprivation of rights. It is the most widely used civil rights enforcement statute, allowing people to sue in civil court over civil rights violations.

Notice they do not indicate in the headline that the punk fired upon the officers first. I’ve actually seen news reports that left out that detail altogether.

CNN presstitutes will not even look out their windows and report the truth.
