During the riots, several vehicles were set on fire, and a police station was also attacked.
In the American city of Atlanta on the night of January 22, there were riots due to the death of a local activist at the hands of the police. Six participants in the pogrom were detained, CNN reports.
According to media reports, 26-year-old activist Manuel Esteban Paez Teran, among others, is against the construction of a police training center. According to police, the man disobeyed law enforcement’s request to leave the area and shot one of them, then shot him in response. The Associated Press emphasized that the victim was a non-binary person and asked to use the pronoun “they/it” in relation to himself.
Here, some residents decided to make their position known and took to the streets of the city. At some point, people started vandalizing everything around, smashing police cars, breaking shop windows and attacking police officers.
Earlier in Brazil, the former president’s role in the riots was being investigated. The country’s Prosecutor General’s Office wants to investigate whether Jair Bolsonaro is the mastermind behind the pogroms in the capital.
