ATLANTA, GA — An area off Chamblee Tucker Road became rowdy Saturday afternoon when crowds blocked traffic for a while and DeKalb County police subdued several people.
Georgia State patrol officers quickly arrived to help and were staged at Embry Village Shopping Center to help keep things orderly.
The march concluded, but not before some protestors faced tear-gas when they attempted to walk onto the road.
Elsewhere, the rally on the 17th Street Bridge in Midtown dwindled due to a sudden rainstorm.
Earlier today, thousands gathered at Liberty Square across from the State House, where protesters shouted and held up signs during the ‘No King’s’ Day event.
“No Kings! Stay strong! Keep fighting!” Protestors chanted.
Rallies and places are in place in most major cities as they protest the Trump Administration’s policies.
A parade is planned tonight in Washington, DC which marks the 250th anniversary of the Army. More than 6,000 troops, tanks, helicopters, and planes will pass a White House reviewing stand.
Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green says, “it’s all about honoring the military. I think it’s important for the public to see how hard the military works, how they have to work together as a team, and how important it is to be able to do this type of fitness.”
The president, whose birthday is also June 14, warns crowds against protests.
