100s-deep #StopCopCity protest marching down powerline clearing towards police set up doing surveillance by the forested site of the proposed urban warfare campus. There is a police helicopter overhead.
“The biggest march in the forest thus far,” one activist says.
The scene moments ago right by Intrenchment Creek and the Old Prison Farm/proposed “Cop City” site in DeKalb County just outside Atlanta - thousands flocked to the ongoing “Week of Action” after police shot & killed a forest defender here in January.
Forest defenders have taken over the police surveillance outpost on the power line clearing near Intrenchment Creek. Police retreated after crowd arrived at barbed wire fence and shot fireworks into the area. People are smashing and destroying the outpost’s remains, sirens can be heard in the distance. A security light post is on fire.
This police vehicle that was just guarding access to the proposed “Cop City” site is now engulfed in flames.
Don’t they know that smoking around these things is dangerous?
