November 13, 2023 Atlanta: The showdown between protesters and police occurred on Constitution Road. After a weekend of protest training, opponents of Atlanta’s public safety training center began marching Monday morning from Gresham Park Recreation Center to the site where the $90 million facility is under construction in what organizers are calling a non-violent “Day of Action.” A few hundred people participated in the march, most wearing masks and many donned in plastic painters suits. City officials say the new center is necessary to provide world-class training to its officers and firefighters, which are currently using outdated facilities. Opponents say it will be used to further militarize police and construction will destroy swaths of one of the largest urban forests in the country. (John Spink / John.Spink@ajc.com)
