BEEN THERE FROM THE BEGINNING.

AGO, WE SAW A BIG CROWD CAME
OVER TO THE AREA, NOT TOO FAR
FROM THE CNN BUILDING, AND IT
WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE THROWING
BOTTLES AND FIREWORKS
CROWD.
CROWD.
CROWD. AND IT WAS ACTUALLY TEAR GAS.
WE'RE GETTING A LITTLE BIT OF
THE AFTER-EFFECT RIGHT HERE.
IT WAS A WOMAN WHO WAS PUSHING
WITH A WALKER, AND PEOPLE
IMMEDIATELY GRABBED HER AND
PULLED HER BACK HERE, SO THAT
THEY COULD HELP HER POUR WATER
INTO HER EYES AND HELP HER OUT.
AGAIN, THAT POLICE SIGN IS UP
THERE.
THERE.
THERE. AGAINWER IT IS THE TEAR GAS
THAT THEY THREW DISPERSING
THROUGH THE CROWD AFTER THEY
THREW THOSE FIREWORKS.
THE POLICE OFFICERS RIGHT
THERE, THEY STARTED TO PUSH THE
CROWD BACK.
CROWD BACK. CROWD STARTED TO GO BACK
TOWARDS THE POLICE OFFICERS.
THE POLICE OFFICERS DID BACK UP
A LITTLE BIT.
THE CROWD IS FAR BEHIND US
RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW. THEY ARE FAR BEHIND US, AND YOU
CAN SEE THEY RAN THAT WAY.
THAT TEAR GAS MOVES THAT WAY.
WE JUST SAW A COUPLE OF CLAYTON
COUNTY S.W.A.T.
COUNTY S.W.A.T. TEAM MEMBERS.
TEAM MEMBERS. THEY JUST ROLLED THROUGH AND
KIND OF UPSET THE CROWD.
THE CROWD WAS KIND OF STARTING
TO DISPERSE A LITTLE BIT, AND
THEY WERE BEING A LITTLE BIT
MORE CALM.
MORE CALM. BUT AS SOON AS THOSE S.W.A.T.
VEHICLES RAN THROUGH, THAT
ANGERED A LOT OF PEOPLE.
THEY STARTED THROWING THINGS.
WE STARTED SEEING THEM GO BACK
ON THE LINE OF POLICE OFFICERS.
YOU
YOU SEE
YOU SEE PEOPLE RUNNING THROUGH WITH TEARS IN THEIR EYES BUT
WHEN THE S.W.A.T.
VEHICLES RAN THROUGH THAT IS
WHEN THEY RUSHED BACK TO THE
POLICE OFFICERS UP THERE AND
STARTED THROWING FIREWORKS AND
BOTTLES.
BOTTLES.
BOTTLES. THE ATLANTA POLICE DID RESPOND
BY DISPERSING TEARGAS INTO THE
CROWD.
CROWD.
CROWD. AND FOR THE MOST PART THAT
CROWD IS FAR BEHIND US.
>> HOPE, I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU
ABOUT THAT.
ABOUT THAT. WE NOTICED THAT APD EVERY NOW
AND THEN IS DROPPING TEAR GRASS
ON THE CROWD AND EVEN WHEN
THERE WAS SUNLIGHT HE WOULD
TAKE OFF RUNNING.
BUT THEY ARE NOT LEAVING THE
AREA.

THEY ARE EVEN BEING MOVED BY
THE TEARGAS.
THE TEARGAS. A LOT OF PEOPLE WE SAW EARLIER
CAME PREPARED TO BE PEPPER
SPRAYED WITH TEARGAS AND THAT
IS NOT EATING AND DISPERSING
THE PROBLEM AT ALL.

SEEN PEOPLE WHO WERE WALKING
THROUGH THE CROWDS WITH SIGNS

DESIGNATED OUT HERE TO HAVE THE
