BREAKING: Atlanta's future police training facility 'Cop City' set ablaze
The station also reported that a Georgia State Trooper said a Molotov cocktail was thrown.
Those who oppose the facility, self-described as"forest defenders," say"Cop City" will cause an environmentally damaging loss of trees. They also oppose spending so much money on a project that they claim will be used to practice"urban warfare." Since December, at least 19 people have been arrested and charged with domestic terrorism in connection to protesting the training facility for Atlanta’s police and fire department. The new facility is being constructed on 85 wooded acres in southwestern DeKalb County on the site of a former prison farm.
