Atlanta has been one of the cities rocked by protests amid the police officer-induced death of George Floyd. In a viral video on social media, tanks appear to be commandeered by civilians in Atlanta.
The video shows people on a tank in what looks like some Atlanta projects. Although variations of the video claimed that it was recorded in East Atlanta, many social media users said it was actually taken in southwest Atlanta.
Atlanta Stolen Tanks? Here’s What We Know
According to musings on social media, the tanks are not from any militarized force on American streets. They also aren’t from protesters, which have marched nightly through the city.
Speculation on social media indicates that the tanks were part of a music video being shot on location. AtlantaFi.com was not able to confirm this information.
In any event, the tanks don’t appear to be stolen, so that’s the good thing.
Nonetheless, tanks on an Atlanta street have raised more than a few eyebrows, especially against the backdrop of the president advocating the U.S. military to “dominate” lawful protesters in U.S. cities.
