STOP COP CITY!

The Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, commonly known as Cop City, is a police and fire services training center under construction in the South River Forest area near Atlanta, Georgia, United States.

For most of the 20th century, the site was used as a prison farm, before being abandoned in 1995. It was identified by the City of Atlanta as the only suitable location to build the training center in 2021 and has been met with protests that started the same year.

During the protests, known as the Stop Cop City movement, protestor Manuel Esteban Paez Terán was fatally shot by Atlanta police in January 2023 after being accused of firing unprovoked at officers, while protestors questioned the validity of that statement.

Protestors have been arrested in late 2022 and early 2023 and charged with domestic terrorism offenses. The validity of the terrorism-related charges has been called into question and attracted controversy.
