A group of protestors attacked an up-and-coming new police training center in Atlanta on Sunday, including throwing Molotov cocktails at officers, with the incident leading to the detainment of 35 individuals.

The Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, also derisively called “Cop City” by critics, is a first responder training facility. Protestors allege that the facility is a sign of rising militarization of police as well as a threat to the environment. Protestors reportedly have “used the cover of a peaceful protest” against the center to carry out the attack, which also damaged construction equipment, according to a March 5 news release by the Atlanta Police Department.
