Police video from 'Cop City' operation doesn't show shooting
Newly released Atlanta police body camera video shows officers clearing tents from the site of a planned public safety training center and then reacting after they heard the barrage of gunfire that left an environmental activist dead and a state trooper injured.
Environmental protests have a long history in the U.S. Police had never killed an activist โ until now.
Last monthโs killing of a nonbinary activist known as โTortuguita,โ who was shot during an occupation protest in Atlantaโs South River Forest, marked the first police killing of a demonstrator in the history of the U.S. environmental movement.
