Protests in downtown Atlanta have ended with six arrests after a peaceful demonstration turned violent. The protest was held in response to the recent killing of an Atlanta activist by police officers.

The demonstration began peacefully, but quickly escalated into a riot as protesters took to the streets to voice their outrage. Fox News reported that the riot was a backlash against the city’s “Cop City” reputation.

The violence reached a climax when protesters used explosives to set fire to a police car, engulfing it in flames. 11Alive reported that the fire was so intense that it damaged nearby buildings.

The Georgia Attorney General has responded to the violence by calling for a sweeping indictment of the protestors at the Atlanta Police Department training facility. WSB Atlanta reported that the Attorney General is seeking to hold those responsible accountable for their actions.

Six people have been arrested in connection to the riot. FOX 5 Atlanta reported that the six individuals are facing charges related to the protest.

The protests have now ended, but the Attorney General’s call for a sweeping indictment is still pending.
