These guys are definitely breaking some laws. But terrorists? I fail to see how.

I get it; when conservatives plot to, and proceed to, violently storm the Capitol and seat of national government, to prevent a legit election from being confirmed, it's just an unruly crowd.

Throw some bottles, when a police training center is being built by a regime that has extensive history of violence against poor people, and is damaging the ecology, it's Domestic Terrorism.

A little context on this from a local.

Nobody here in Atlanta wants 'Cop City' except the cops.

Ah, so they can use that phrase. I always see so many comments on other news stories saying that it's a very high bar before they can label something as terrorism, this must be really explicit.

<reads article>

Oh. That's it? That reached the high bar for the domestic terrorism label? Huh.

Ah I get it now, as long as white supremacists don't target cops specifically they can avoid the Domestic Terrorist label. Government officials, innocent people are fair game though.

“Yesterday, several people threw rocks at police cars and attacked EMT’s outside the neighboring fire stations with rocks and bottles,” the bureau said Wednesday.

They say they did find explosive devices. we will have to wait and see because cops also think homemade radios are explosive devices.

Still waiting for terrorism charges when a group takes out the power grid with guns… seriously, i’ll wait

Why do the cops need an 85 acre facility just to teach cops how to throw flashbangs at cribs and shoot unarmed innocents?

Just quoting the article. For the record, I believe the attack on Jan 6th was a terrorist act without question, as was the attack on Paul Pelosi. Acts for violence for political purposes are acts of terrorism. This fits. Thats all. Even if you don't like cops, fireman and emt's.

I mean Atlanta crime in the 90s was dramatically reduced after huge efforts by the Atlanta PD and other govt agencies.

Edit: "I don't know anything about this, but I don't like the idea of it, so I'll downvote it!"

Cop city…sponsored by major corporations… who are the police for? Certainly isn’t for you or me.

Possession of an unregistered destructive device is a felony 10 years in prison. Throwing rocks at first responders shows intent to do harm. Possession plus intent equals domestic terrorist charges.

I live in the city and there's not much crime in my area at all. I definitely don't want this. Most of the "crime" you hear about is up in Buckhead near the mall. I don't think cop city will fix that.

We live in Sandy Springs and it’s a topic of conversation in our neighborhood. It’s probably exaggerated on the platforms they get their news, but people have been talking about the lady in Buckhead being killed in that carjacking non-stop.

I think Atlanta cops are understaffed and undertrained for the amount and types of crime being committed. So a big center designed to recruit and better train cops doesn’t strike me as the horrible idea everyone on Reddit seems to think it is.

But I don’t know enough about it to have an opinion either way. That’s what government leaders are for. Too many people think they know all the answers to all of the things they have zero experience or expertise in.

You forgot the explosives and gasoline, and the part where they burn down multiple houses, but yes they assaulted paramedics.

Imagine being one of the people in here pretending this shit is okay.

When they are found with explosives, gasoline, and there were multiple houses burned down, and they attacked civilians (paramedics) for no reason, all in the name of their political goals, it sounds 100% like every dictionary in the world's definition for terrorism.
