"No Charges for Georgia Troopers in Fatal Shooting of 'Cop City' Activist"

Georgia state troopers who shot and killed environmental activist Manuel Paez Terán at the site of a planned police and firefighter training center near Atlanta will not face charges, according to a prosecutor. The troopers fired back after Paez Terán shot and seriously wounded a trooper during an enforcement operation. The decision not to charge the troopers has outraged the family and activists, who have expressed skepticism about law enforcement statements and pointed to an independent autopsy that contradicts the official account. The killing of Paez Terán has sparked protests and acts of vandalism, leading to dozens being charged with domestic terrorism. The prosecutor's report has been criticized for lacking critical analysis and withholding evidence.
