Atlanta City Council Votes 11-4 to Fund $67 Million "Cop City" Training Center
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Georgia, Atlanta City Council has voted in favor of funding the
Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, a massive police training
facility known as Cop City. The City Council's 11-4 vote capped a
marathon session that began early Monday afternoon and lasted until 5:30
this morning. Activists opposed to Cop City packed Atlanta City Hall and
took turns denouncing the $67 million project during 14 hours of public
comment. After headlines, we'll go to Atlanta for the latest.
