Police Fire Tear Gas and "Less Lethal" Munitions at Stop Cop City Protesters
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Atlanta, Georgia, police attacked peaceful protesters with tear gas,
pepper balls and flashbang grenades Monday as hundreds rallied against
the construction of a massive $90 million police training complex known
as Cop City. Over 400 protesters marched toward the sacred Weelaunee
Forest, the proposed site for Cop City, where activists spoke to the
crowd, including the parents of environmental defender Manuel Esteban
Terán, known as Tortuguita, who was fatally shot by Georgia state
troopers in January.
