"No Charges for Troopers in Fatal Shooting of 'Cop City' Activist at Atlanta Training Center"

Georgia state troopers who shot and killed protester Manuel Esteban Paez Terán near Atlanta in January will not face criminal charges, according to the district attorney. The troopers' use of lethal force was deemed "objectively reasonable" as they were attempting to clear protesters from a site where a new police training campus was being built. The 26-year-old protester, known as Tortuguita, had camped in the South River Forest in opposition to the development of the project. The shooting has been a point of contention in the ongoing fight over the police training center, with activists demanding an independent investigation and questioning the official police account.
