A peaceful march occurred on May 29 at Centennial Olympic Park and was attended by hundreds.
At around noon, protesters marched to the CNN Center, which was then vandalized by protesters starting a few minutes later.
 Specifically, some protesters vandalized the CNN logo that is seen at the entrance, broke the doors and windows, and began throwing objects at police officers in the lobby starting around 9:00 p.m. However, they were dispersed in a few hours and never got to go any further than the lobby.
The windows and doors were boarded up, and the sign was repainted the next morning, later, a fence was put up to ward off additional protesters.
 As tensions between protesters and police escalated, police began using tear gas on protesters.
Protesters threw water bottles, eggs, and other objects at officers, burned police cars, and defaced businesses.
The College Football Hall of Fame's gift shop was looted; Hall of Fame CEO Kimberly Beaudin told ESPN that "no artifacts or displays were damaged."
Three officers were injured in the clashes, including one who was run over by an ATV.

At midnight, Governor Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency in Fulton County and authorized 500 National Guard members to aid law enforcement in the city.
Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and rapper and activist Killer Mike decried the riots.

Also on May 30, after initially ordering two black college students to continue driving their car, Atlanta police pulled them from their car, broke a car window, and used Tasers to shock them.
Within days, six officers were charged as a result of the incident; two were fired and four were put on administrative leave.
The Fulton County District Attorney, Paul Howard, stated that the two college students were "innocent almost to the point of being naive.

On June 3, APD reported that 425 protesters were arrested between May 29 and June 1.
Of those arrested, 51 people (~12%) were not from Georgia.

On June 13, after the police killed Rayshard Brooks the night before, protesters clashed with police and burned down the Wendy's where Brooks was killed.

On July 4, 2020, a "predominantly Black group of heavily armed protesters" rallied at Stone Mountain Park, the birthplace of the modern Ku Klux Klan, calling for the removal of a large rock relief on the mountain's north face that has been described by the president of the Atlanta chapter of the NAACP as "the largest shrine to white supremacy in the history of the world".
 A spokesperson for the Stone Mountain Memorial Association stated that "the protesters were peaceful and orderly".
