Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency on Thursday in anticipation of violent anti-police protests in Atlanta this weekend. 

The governor activated 1,000 National Guard troops and will deploy them to prevent further violence after masked protesters threw rocks, launched fireworks and burned a police vehicle in front of the Atlanta Police Foundation building last weekend. 

"Georgians respect peaceful protests, but do not tolerate acts of violence against persons or property," the governor's order states. 

The state of emergency will expire on Thursday, Feb. 9, unless it is renewed by the governor.

ATLANTA POLICE ARREST 6 IN NIGHT OF CHAOS AFTER VIOLENT PROTESTERS LIT COP CAR ABLAZE, SMASHED WINDOWS

Violence erupted in Atlanta last weekend days after a police-involved shooting of an environmental activist, Manuel Esteban Paez Teran, who was protesting the construction of a new police training facility for the Atlanta Police Department, dubbed "Cop City" by its detractors.   

The 26-year-old protester was shot and killed by law enforcement on Jan. 18 after he shot a Georgia state trooper during an "operation" to remove encamped activists from the construction site of the $90 million Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation

The wounded state trooper was taken to a local hospital where he underwent surgery, authorities said.
