TL;DR Summary

Six Georgia State Patrol troopers will not face charges for shooting and killing environmental activist Manuel Esteban Paez Terán during a raid at the proposed site for the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center. The Stone Mountain Circuit District Attorney's Office determined that the troopers' use of lethal force was "objectively reasonable" after Terán allegedly fired shots, injuring a trooper. However, protestors and Terán's family dispute the claim, stating that their independent autopsy showed Terán's hands were raised and they were facing multiple troopers at the time of the shooting. The incident has sparked controversy and fueled the "Stop Cop City" movement, which opposes the development of the training center.
