"Protesters Clash with Police at Atlanta's Controversial 'Cop City' Training Center"

Protesters clashed with police outside the future site of the Atlanta Police Training Facility during a march demanding construction to cease. The group, which has been demonstrating for over a year, ignored police commands and attempted to force their way through a line of officers. Tear gas was deployed by DeKalb County police, and no arrests have been made. The protesters have since returned to Gesham Park. The march was led with a sign honoring Manuel Teran, a protester who was killed earlier this year.

"No Charges for Police in Fatal Shooting of Protester at Atlanta's 'Cop City'"

None of the Georgia State Police troopers involved in the fatal shooting of Manuel "Tortuguita" Teran, a protester at Atlanta's "Cop City," will face charges, according to the Stone Mountain Judicial Circuit District Attorney. Teran was shot and killed during a police raid on campgrounds occupied by environmental demonstrators. The autopsy revealed that Teran did not have gunpowder residue on their hands, but officials claimed Teran fired the first shot. The district attorney deemed the use of lethal force by the troopers as objectively reasonable, and the Georgia Attorney General's Office is conducting its own investigation into the shooting.

"Cop City" activist Manuel Terán shot dozens of times, autopsy reveals.

Manuel Terán, the activist killed by Georgia state troopers at the site of Atlanta's planned public safety training center, died from at least 57 gunshot wounds, according to a newly released autopsy report. The report differs from an independent autopsy performed at the request of the activist's family. Officers say the 26-year-old activist shot and wounded a trooper before law enforcement returned fire, killing them during a Jan. 18 "clearing operation" at the site, which has been dubbed "Cop City" by activists.
