ATLANTA- Law Enforcement Today has received numerous reports from law enforcement sources in Atlanta that a number of officers have come under attack as riots are popping off in the city.
We’re told several officers have been injured and that at least one patrol vehicle has been torched.
Images are starting to flood in now of what’s happening.
Rioters are laying down metal slabs, reportedly to block emergency responders from being able to get to the scene.
The riots are said to be in “solidarity” with protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin over the shooting of an armed criminal.
All of this comes despite new video which has surfaced providing a different angle of the shooting of 29-year-old North Carolina native, Jacob Blake, in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
The incident occurred on Sunday evening between Blake and three Kenosha police officers, at approximately 5:00 p.m. In the video, Blake and the officers can be seen wrestling on the ground near the rear passenger side of his vehicle.
Blake managed to free himself from their collective grasp, and was then shown walking around the front of his vehicle, toward his driver side door. Police officers followed him, issuing commands with guns drawn, while a gathering crowd of onlookers screamed toward the scene.
