Atlanta cops have two modes: kill or quit

APD is fucking scary. Recently, there were a few marches commemorating Stonewall. I went to the second one that emphasized black LGBT+ people and put them at the front. We had a permit to assemble, but not to march. We took to the streets anyway and walked about 3 miles. Cops showed up almost immediately. They got ahead of us and actually blocked traffic, despite the fact that we were leaving a lane open and our marshalls were directing cars through us. They never got out. Never addressed us. Never helped us either. They were just there, presumably waiting for an excuse to break out the tear gas.

And, of course, we have other peaceful demonstrations where they don't hesitate to attack. You can never be sure.
