Atlanta: Protesters call for 'violence' against police after shooting leaves 1 dead, officer injured
[FoxNews] Protesters in Atlanta are calling for violence against coppers and law enforcement entities following a police-involved shooting on Wednesday that left a state trooper maimed and one man dead.

The Twitter account Scenes from the Atlanta Forest calls for a "Night of Rage" on Friday to enact "reciprocal violence to be done to the police and their allies," according to the Scenes from the Atlanta Forest Twitter account.

"Consider this a call for reciprocal violence to be done to the police and their allies. On Friday, January 20th, wherever you are, you are invited to participate in a night of rage in order to honor the memory of our fallen comrade," the group wrote on Twitter, in an apparent violation of the platform’s terms and conditions.
Sounds like Antifa to me. I’d bet if someone looks closely, many of the cadres will turn out to be cross-listed with known Black Bloc/anarcho-communist syndicate groups. They’re terribly keen on Day of Rage/Night of Rage for any excuse they can find.
The account claims to be a part of Defend the Atlanta Forest, one of the multiple groups protesting in an area where the city is set to construct the new Atlanta Public Safety Training Center.

The Defenders of the Forest said in a statement to Fox News Digital that it is "a broad, diverse, decentralized movement to defend the Atlanta forest." They went on to say they are only a "news aggregator for the movement" and "not affiliated" with Scenes from the Atlanta Forest.

In another tweet, posted several hours later, the group added: "The police will kill you if given the chance. Now is the time for bravery. Take care of each other. Be dangerous together."

The group appeared to acknowledge the post was against Twitter’s rule not to incite violence as it said in yet another tweet that its account "is not long for this world."

The upcoming event comes after a Georgia State Patrol trooper, wearing a bulletproof vest, was shot in the abdomen Wednesday morning. It happened as police tried to clear an encampment near the site where the $90 million Atlanta Police Department (APD) facility will be constructed.

#1 Has the general population become so ‘woke’ that this path is our future? Or are we just (too) patient? (I would really prefer not to live in an American Beirut.)

#2 More please. You gits SHOT a cop. Then you call for a day of rage? Yes, you know the cops are drooling at the prospect of administering a good old fashioned hickory shampoo and OC spray rinse to these guys. But if they're stupid enough to show up with any sort of weapon at this point, they're gonna get ventilated.

#3 I suspect your in-lines are correct, TW.

Wait until they find out Bezos' Amazon bought all the rain forest in South America.

#4 Consider the timing of it. Just after the pubs get partial control this happens. Whatta joke.

#5 If they are fighting government with guns, didn’t Biden threaten to JDAM them with F-15s.

#6 I think the Fulton Country denizens should deal with this at the ballot box. Oh, wait....
