Activist's Tent Targeted in 'Cop City' Raid with Pepperball Gun

Police incident reports reveal that officers fired rounds from a pepperball gun into Manuel Paez Terán’s closed tent before an exchange of gunfire that resulted in the death of the environmental activist and injury of an officer during a raid on an Atlanta forest to clear activists who were camping there to prevent construction on a $90m police and fire department training facility known as “Cop City”. The incident reports reveal that officers were first to discharge a weapon and fired a barrage of shots blindly into the tent, killing Paez Terán inside.
