The decision by prosecutors to pursue domestic terrorism charges against opponents of a police training center outside Atlanta is drawing criticism, with some legal experts saying it's a potentially dangerous overreach that could be viewed as politically motivated.

More than a dozen people have been charged with domestic terrorism in connection with the protests, including seven people after a Jan. 18 confrontation with police who were trying to clear the proposed site of the center, dubbed "Cop City" by critics.

One man was fatally shot by police in the confrontation after he opened fire and wounded a state trooper, authorities said. In protests that followed the killing and the police sweeps, six people were arrested and charged with domestic terrorism.

In December, the same charges were filed against five people after law enforcement moved in to clear barricades and confront protesters.

Critics of domestic terrorism laws, including some civil rights groups, oppose them "because of the risk of politicization, because they can be used against politically disfavored groups by the government," Patrick Keenan, a professor of law at the University of Illinois, said.

They would have zero "concerns" if the people being arrested and charged were Trump supporters, Republicans, Christians, or conservatives. In fact they'd be cheering for it.

Cheering for the law being enforced is quite logical and normal.

I approve of the law being applied in an event and fair manner.

If you go into a city with the intention of causing anarchy, shooting at law-enforcement and burning and destroying private and public property, then you are engaged in domestic terrorism.

That is not a protest that is terrorism.

Protest of all peacefully, carrying a sign and letting your elected representatives know your position. Maybe it includes of work, strike or something along those lines.

Because being a law abiding, model citizen is exactly the same as hatching a plot to loot, pillage, and burn.

Good grief, man.

Leftist: "White people peacefully disagreeing with our radical leftist agenda at the ballot box is domestic terrorism!"

Also Leftist: "ANTIFA burning, looting and killing is just peaceful protesting and none of them should be charged with anything!"

Are they committing acts of domestic terrorism? Then arrest them and charge them for domestic terrorism. Why do polarizing politics have to make the obvious so difficult?
