Cops in Atlanta have released new aerial footage that shows dozens of protesters sneaking into the site of a future police training facility in the moments before they allegedly unleashed hell.
The large group, described by authorities as “violent agitators,” were caught on a police helicopter’s heat-sensitive camera flooding into the under-construction Atlanta Public Safety Training Center — dubbed “Cop City” — on Sunday.
Moments later, the video — which was released late Monday — shows the throngs of protesters setting fire to construction equipment in what police have slammed as a “coordinated attack.”
