7 Arrested, Chemical Agents Deployed At Atlanta Protest
Primary Content
Seven people were arrested at an Atlanta protest where chemical agents were deployed on protesters demonstrating against a Kentucky grand jury’s decision to not indict officers in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor.
Georgia State Patrol Spokesperson Franka Young said the arrests were made Wednesday night after the protesters refused orders to disperse from roads. A majority of the nearly 300 protesters had followed the orders. Young says the chemical agents were fired after “some unruly protesters” attempted to vandalize and climb on top of a SWAT vehicle. Some protesters ran for cover as the chemical agents filled the air near where the vehicle was parked.
