Atlanta Police Release Aerial Footage Of Training Center Rioters | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Publisher's Note: This post appears here courtesy of the The Daily Wire. The author of this post is Daniel Chaitin.

    Aerial footage appears to show a crowd of people making their way to the site of a training center for police, firefighters, and EMTs in Atlanta where a fiery riot took place Sunday evening.

    The video, released by the Atlanta Police Department, shows more than 100 individuals walking in a large group before cutting to different more close-up camera shots of chaotic moments during what officials are describing as a domestic terrorism attack.

    Rounding out the 4 minutes and 12 seconds of footage is more video from above showing a smaller group of individuals in a forested area appearing to change their clothes.


    Police said a group of "violent agitators" wearing all-black "used the cover of a peaceful protest" and conducted a "coordinated attack" at the construction area of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, which has been derisively labeled "Cop City" by critics amid protests by anti-police and environmental activists.

    Multiple video releases by police show people throwing objects, authorities arriving on the scene, officers nearly being struck by what appears to be fireworks, and multiple pieces of construction equipment on fire.

    Authorities estimated there was $150,000 in property damage, according to NBC affiliate 11 Alive.

    Officers "exercised restraint" and used non-lethal enforcement to conduct arrests of at least 35 people, police said. Twenty-three individuals are facing a domestic terrorism charge, a felony that could warrant up to 35 years in prison. A list provided by police shows only two of these people are from Georgia, while the rest are from other states as well as France and Canada.

    The far-Left nonprofit Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) confirmed one of its employees was among those people who were arrested.

    "An employee at the SPLC was arrested while acting - and identifying - as a legal observer on behalf of the National Lawyers Guild (NLG)," an SPLC spokesperson said in a statement. "The employee is an experienced legal observer, and their arrest is not evidence of any crime, but of heavy-handed law enforcement intervention against protesters."

    In a statement, Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp said "domestic terrorism will NOT be tolerated in this state," and pledged, "We will not rest until those who use violence and intimidation for an extremist end are brought to full justice."

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?
  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.
  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.
  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?

Considering how abjectly corrupt and civilly abusive the Left has become regarding the corrosive effect of their elected leaders; their entrenched and ruling bureaucracy; employing their failed Education Industry as Indoctrinators; their collusive private sector operators, such as the terminally discredited Legacy Media and Big Tech censorship of Free Speech: What will be the best course forward for hardworking Middle Americans, including the Patriot Class?
  Withdraw from society, go underground and plan for a resurgence when it is feasible to do so.
  Work within the confines of better policy by the People's government, once good sense and sanity is restored in the electorate at large, to achieve such.
  Are you a crazy, nut-job Insurrectionist? Everything is perfect within our plan to achieve our intended goals for the Socialist Left.
  Secession to form a true Constitutional Republic.
