Controversy Surrounds Atlanta's Training Center Funding and Benefits.

TL;DR Summary
Atlanta City Council members have received death threats and full-time police protection after voting to fund a public safety training center. The decision followed months of controversy over the center, which became a rallying cry for some left-wing activists to not just defund the police, but eliminate police and government altogether. Members say they don’t know where exactly the threats are coming from, since most are anonymous, but Council President Doug Shipman said some groups have reached out to him to say the violent rhetoric is not coming from them — and that it’s crossed a line.
