A protest over the future site of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center turned violent in downtown on Saturday night -- three days after the death of a demonstrator who was killed by law enforcement where the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said the 26-year-old shot a state trooper.

Dressed in all black with masks over their faces, activists threw rocks and reportedly lit fireworks in front of a building that houses the Atlanta Police Foundation, shattering large glass windows near Peachtree Street and Andrew Young Boulevard.

Just after 6 p.m., police said they set an Atlanta Police cruiser on fire, smashed the windows of a Wells Fargo bank and vandalized walls with anti-police graffiti in an area that is typically bustling with tourists. The protesters have dubbed the training facility as "Cop City."
