Antifa Riot at Police Training Center

Southern Poverty Law Attorney Arrested During Antifa Riot in Atlanta

On Sunday night, the Atlanta Police Department released striking footage revealing a group of Antifa protesters dressed entirely in black breaking into the construction site for a proposed police training facility. The facility, which had previously been the scene of protests and the death of a protester, is located in DeKalb County and is named the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center.

It’s now been reported that one of the Anita protestors is Tom Jurgens, ironically a staff attorney for Southern Poverty Law Center, according to a LinkedIn profile that has since been removed.

The FBI has historically used the SPLC as a source for who should be considered domestic terrorists. Protesters clashed with officers, throwing bricks, rocks, Molotov cocktails, and fireworks at officers. Officers arrested 35 people.
