May 16—Several people arrested in the vandalism Thursday of the Cumberland offices of contractor Brasfield and Gorrie are now facing riot charges, according to their arrest warrants.
Police responded to the building at 2999 Circle 75 Parkway after a group of activists protested the firm's alleged involvement in the construction of "cop city," the name given to the controversial police training complex in southeast Atlanta. The contingent allegedly spray-painted "no forest no peace," "trees not cops" and, "stop cop city" on the building's walls.
The Atlanta City Council voted last year to lease forested property in the city's southeast, where the Atlanta Prison Farm once sat, for the construction of a new, 85-acre police training facility. The project's driver — the Atlanta Police Foundation — argued the facility was needed to replace an aging training ground and tamp down crime, though construction is expected to take several years.
The proposal became a flashpoint for activists and community members who argued "cop city" would destroy a vast swath of urban forest.

They face a range of charges including rioting, making terroristic threats, and criminal property damage.
