Updated on: January 21, 2023 / 8:48 PMProtesters damaged property at numerous locations on Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta Saturday in the wake of a shooting earlier this week near the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center — a controversial future law enforcement training site — in which a Georgia state trooper was wounded and a man was killed.
Over the past several months, the tension between protestors and law enforcement over the future training site has been rising, until it came to a boil last Wednesday. Activists have questioned officials' version of events, calling it a"murder," and demanding an independent investigation, according to the Associated Press. According to the GBI, the incident was not recorded on body cameras.
