GA Gov Activates National Guard After Police Shooting

Atlanta’s Fox affiliate report:

Gov. Brian Kemp is issuing a state of emergency ahead of potential anti-police protests in Atlanta this weekend. The order calls for up to 1,000 Georgia National Guard troops to be called up to “subdue riot and unlawful assembly.”
