(PM.) On Saturday night, Antifa members took to the streets of Atlanta to throw rocks at and light fires outside of the Atlanta Police Foundation after the now-suspended Atlanta Forest Twitter account called for a “night of rage” following the fatal shooting of one of their members, 26-year-old Manuel Esteban Paez Teran.
The Post Millennial Editor-at-Large Andy Ngo tweeted, “Breaking: Far-left extremists & #Antifa gathering for revenge against law enforcement in #Atlanta over the killing of their gunman at their autonomous zone smashed up businesses & set an @Atlanta_Police vehicle on fire.”

“A white female arrested at the violent attack on the Atlanta Police Foundation tries to pull a George Floyd by shouting, ‘I can’t breathe’ when she was standing. Far-left extremists gathered for a revenge riot over the shooting death of their gunman,” Ngo tweeted.
“In addition to smashing up businesses, cars & the ATL Police Foundation, far-left extremists came with arson supplies to set an @Atlanta_Police vehicle on fire. The riot was organized as revenge for their gunman dying in a shootout at the autonomous zone,” Ngo added.

Manuel Esteban Paez Teran was killed by police after he allegedly shot an officer who was part of an operation clearing out the Antifa-occupied autonomous zone dubbed “Cop City,” where the Atlanta Police Department Training Facility is set to be built. The officer was taken to an intensive care unit and treated.
