A top adviser for Stacey Abrams' voting rights nonprofit defended anti-cop activists who set a police car ablaze and smashed windows while protesting the death of an environmental activist this past weekend in Atlanta.
Marisa Pyle, a senior rapid response manager at Abrams' Fair Fight Action, who also worked as a senior manager for Abrams' One Georgia leadership committee during her most recent failed Georgia gubernatorial run, rushed to defend the anti-police protesters and the ensuing chaos.
"You cannot commit violence against a window or a car. Killing a human? Now that, that is violence," Pyle wrote on Twitter this past weekend. "Shame on Atlanta's leaders who fall into the same tired path of protecting property while our people are murdered by their police."
Pyle's tweet followed Saturday protests in Atlanta, which began peacefully but delved into riots that saw masked activists throw rocks and lit fireworks in front of a building that houses the Atlanta Police Foundation. The protesters shattered glass windows, lit a police car on fire, and vandalized walls with anti-police graffiti.
The police arrested six protesters and charged them with eight misdemeanor and felony charges, including domestic terrorism. Two suspects posted a $355,000 bond, while the four suspects were denied bond.
Activists were out to protest the death of Manuel Esteban Paez Teran, 26, who was killed by police last Wednesday after allegedly refusing demands and firing a gun at state troopers at the site of the new Atlanta Public Safety Training Center.
The environmental activist reportedly identified as a non-binary person who went by the name Tortuguita ("little turtle" in Spanish) and used they/it pronouns.

neither was greasing yer lil friend
it was a disagreement about who’s higher on the food chain...
These so-called progressives are nuts.
RE:what if it happened to her house and car.....
Several here agree. Me, too.
So why doesn’t someone in the media ask her? I truly wonder what her excuse would be.
We’re supposed to tolerate her and many like her against our instincts and superior qualities (I am not joking).
Let’s hear her reply.
Then, I guess it’s not violence when the cops retaliate and shoot the bastards dead on sight.
You’ll see a dramatic drop in street crime and violence then.
I don’t think I’ve seen Abrams make a comment where I didn’t
find her to be an absolute fool.
Start the helicopters!
I wouldn’t take that bet, she’s obviously not able to recognize a real insurrection when it takes place
No we understand why we are falling apart we have questions about how we go about unfucking the situationc!
There are no tanks in baghdad.
How long will it be before we go Kent State on these bastards?
Abrams is an idiot. Smashing and burning cop cars is violence directed at the tax payers who have to replace the blasted things, same as smashing and burning stores is violence against the individuals who own the stores/franchises and whose insurance doesn’t cover riots
Fixed.
