TL;DR Summary

Manuel Paez Terán, an environmental activist and 'Cop City' protester, was shot 57 times by police during a demonstration at a controversial police and firefighter training site in Atlanta, Georgia. Police claim Terán fired a gun, injuring a state trooper, but the state autopsy found no evidence of gunpowder residue on Terán's clothes or around any of the gunshot wounds. Terán's family plans to file a lawsuit to force police to release more information. Protests over the proposed training centre in Atlanta have grown violent, with 23 people arrested and charged with domestic terrorism offences in March.
