    Georgia Governor Kemp Declares State of Emergency, Mobilizes National Guard over ‘Cop City’ Riots

    Georgia governor Brian Kemp signed an emergency order Thursday declaring a 15-day state of emergency and mobilizing up to 1,000 National Guard troops in response to leftist violence that gripped the city over the weekend.

    “Georgians respect peaceful protests, but do not tolerate acts of violence against persons or property,” Governor Kemp asserted in the order.

    Protests “turned violent in downtown Atlanta as masked activist threw rocks, launched fireworks, and burned a police vehicle in front of the Atlanta Police Foundations office building,” Kemp’s added in the executive order.

    Six Antifa extremists were charged with counts of domestic terrorism by the Atlanta police following Saturday’s riot.

    Five of the accused came from out of state. One of them, Francis Carroll, was reportedly out on bail for another charge of domestic terrorism and is a descendant of a wealthy Maine family, according to investigative reporter Andy Ngo.

    shocker; cop city opposed by 70% of resident and 2/3 funding coming from corporate America. No wonder they were in a hurry to slap "domestic terrorism" charges.

    More White supremacy domestic terrorists

    Thirty five people have been arrested
    Dramatic footage released by the Atlanta Police Department Sunday night showed the moment Antifa protesters dressed in all black broke into the construction site for a proposed police training facility.

    Nearly 150 rioters could be seen in the video posted to Facebook dressed in all black or camouflage and wearing ski masks entered the site of Atlanta's future Public Safety Training Facility .

    Atlanta police name 23 domestic terrorism suspects in Cop City attack, AG warns 'violent extremists'
    Atlanta domestic terrorism suspects are from France, Canada and 14 other states. Just two of 23 charged are from Georgia

    Atlanta police identified 23 suspects charged with domestic terrorism after allegedly launching an attack against the construction site for a police and fire training facility dubbed "Cop City."

    The Atlanta Police Department revealed all but two of the arrestees are from out of state. Another two are from out of the country.

    Dimitri LeNy is from France, while Fredrique Robert-Paul is from Canada.

    Three suspects – Ayla King, Alexis Paplai and Timothy Bilodeau – are from Massachusetts.

    There are two from Arizona: Samuel Ward and Max Biederman. From New York, there are Mattia Luini and Priscilla Grim.

    Another pair – Kayley Meissner and Grace Martin – are from Wisconsin.

    Kamryn Pipes is from Louisiana. Maggie Gates is from Indiana. Ehret Nottingham is from Colorado. Victor Puertas is from Utah. Amin Chaoui is from Virginia. James Marsicano is from North Carolina. Emma Bogush is from Connecticut. Luke Harper is from Florida. Colin Dorsey is from Maine. And Zoe Larmey is from Tennessee.

    The only suspects with Georgia addresses are Thomas Jurgens and Jack Beaman.

    The group is accused of leaving a nearby music festival Sunday evening and heading to the construction site of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center "to conduct a coordinated attack on construction equipment and police officers."

    Authorities noted how the group changed into black clothing and allegedly threw commercial-grade fireworks, Molotov cocktails, large rocks and bricks at police officers.

    "What happened last night was not peaceful protest – it was violence. Plain and simple," Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr said in a statement Monday. "We will not tolerate this destruction of property, and we will seek to ensure that those who have engaged in this criminal behavior are held accountable to the fullest extent of the law."

    "This state-of-the-art Public Training Safety Center will benefit not only police officers, firefighters and EMTs, but the entire community," Carr said. "We strongly support its construction and operation, and we will not back down from violent extremists from Georgia, Maine, Oregon or elsewhere who seek to stop us."

    Though Carr cited Oregon, it does not appear any of the 23 charged in Sunday's incident are from that state. Police did initially say 35 "agitators" had been detained.

    On an appearance on Fox News earlier Monday, Carr described those arrested as part of a "national network, an international group of people that are organized to come to our state to undermine a public safety training center."

    "This wasn’t about a public safety training center. This was about anarchy, and this was about an attempt to destabilize," Atlanta Chief of Police Darin Schierbaumsaid Sunday night, telling reporters at the scene that both the FBI and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation have joined the probe into the incident.

    Though demonstrations at the 85-acre property in DeKalb County secured for a $90 million police and fire training facility have been ongoing, Schierbaum said Sunday’s incident marked a "significant escalation" both in the level of violence and the number of individuals involved in the attack.

    Before Sunday, at least 19 people had been arrested and charged with domestic terrorism since December in connection to demonstrations at the "Cop City" site. Six of the 19 arrests came out of a violent riot in downtown Atlanta on Jan. 21 that was sparked by the deadly shooting of 26-year-old environmental activist Manuel Esteban Paez Teran by Georgia State Patrol.

    State patrol had responded to the construction site to clear out demonstrators. Authorities said Teran, who reportedly went by the name Tortuguita and identified as non-binary, shot a trooper in the abdomen before law enforcement officials returned fire and killed Teran.
