It seems like most of the people involved didn't even know each other untl the day that action was taken. How are they being classified as an organization if they are obviously not organized?
They didn't know each other, and yet, they all knew when and where to show for the protest. Perhaps an "organization" only needs to connect people through social media rather than dues-paying members.
Are you sure they aren't political prisoners like the J6'ers who all showed up on the same day?
Police forces are created to protect the public. The vast majority of them do exactly that. They need facilities ... having been to a police academy as an invited private citizen, the training was first class ... car pursuits, SWAT tactics, firing ranges, dangers of simple car stops where officers don't know the intent of those stopped.
These are not peaceful protesters. Destroying contractor's equipment is a crime. Even blocking freeways, sometimes for hours, might seem "peaceful" but is hugely expensive to taxpayers and disruptive, and actually accomplish nothing other than getting some TV or video time on social media.
Reasonable laws and appropriate penalties needed.

Domestic terrorism laws are being used to suppress protest. The penalties are preposterous, of course.
Metropolitan Atlanta, population 6 million, encompasses half the population of Georgia, the 8th most populous state and, by area, the biggest state east of the Mississippi River. With half the state virtually empty, why situate the proposed training facility on rare forested land in the urban area?
Moreover, the proposed training facility will include helicopter pads and a mockup of dense city blocks for training in urban warfare.
Sound like something you'd like next door or even across town? In my suburb, trees are more important than cops trained for urban warfare!
