There’s only a handful of reasons why a country would turn their police into a military force. And all of them are terrifying.

Hearing " the police couldnt even handle the conversation without turning it into "youre either with us or against us"" is honestly eye opening. Its so true

Charging activists and protestors with "domestic terrorism" is how the Syrian regime managed to police our uprising and eventually justified bombing entire cities. I hope no one experiences that and power to the people of Atlanta and every place where people are demanding their basic human rights.

The parallels with the Palestinian situation is honestly scary. And internalized racism is really dangerous. The myth of Black excellence got folx out here scrambling to roll over the next man for an illusion.

As an Israeli who has watched the Palestinian struggle ignored, erased, and distorted by most media my whole life, thank you for bringing attention to this very real connection. End to apartheid and colonization everywhere!

It is such a cross-cutting justice issue. Cops, climate change and deforestation, direct democracy, racism, authoritarianism, facism.

Didn't a while ago a former cop in Atlanta revealed that they were told to constantly write tickets/do arrests at a specific apartment complex because the landlord wanted to tear it down and build new expensive "luxury" apartments? So to do that they tried to get everyone evicted and cops helped by arresting/citing so it would be literally impossible for the people to pay rent

I’ve been saying this. People think it’s a “shortage” of police and that’s why they’re mass hiring. No, they’re trying to fill the streets with cops. I see police SOOOOOO much more than I’ve ever saw them here in Atlanta. Cop city is just boot camp for more militant cops. The only thing that gives me a little hope is that a lot of Atlanta cops are black and from these neighborhoods. (At least in my opinion) APD is one of the more relaxed departments around Atlanta.

Damn, as a British gal that doesn't keep up as much as I should with stuff over the Atlantic, especially in the south, when I glossed over the term 'cop city' I assumed that was just a descriptor for drastic overpolicing throughout Atlanta; now I learn it's a literal sci fi nightmare situation, a city within a city to fester a pure culture of 'us and them,' with expert training in militaristic violence too. Hope you guys are successful at getting the bastards out. Good luck and much love

I love that this dropped as Renegade Cut released a video on police underreporting of hate crimes. I am fearful we are repeating the mistakes of the past with this hyper mobilization of police in response to perceived, exaggerated, and sometimes real increases in crime nationwide. I’m seeing people who should know better parrot the “tough on crime” rhetoric of the 80’s and 90’s. I have been feeling so uneasy for sometime about the growing authoritarianism, and public acceptance of it.

Atlanta City Council: We heard your cries of "Defund of the Police" loud and clear and will be building a 90 million dollar police playground as a result.

When he said "Black Mayors have served their purpose" re: gentrificaiton, I think he crystalized so much of Atlanta's political history to me.

I can only imagine the feelings of powerlessness and rage of that neighborhood, having a tower for lethal narcissists built in their backyard.

NINETY MILLION 😬 thats enough to house 180 ppl OWNING THEIR HOME, or could pay SEVEN THOUSAND peoples rent for a year. This is so frustrating. I hope this can still get shut down (EDIT: math)

I was, well... trapped in Atlanta over the holiday in as much I intended to be with family in a different state. Even just around the airport, the neighborhood around it, the police presence was conspicuous. I probably saw more Georgian cops than Texan cops last year just being in Atlanta across three days.

“Cop City” is chilling enough even without the context - thank you for putting this out there!

If you make peacefully protesting have the same consequences as getting violent, you’re going to have more violence. Hoping that more channels can pick what is going on up to stop the insanity of labeling these protesters as terrorists.

It’s scary, I used to get a text from a friend, whose parents were cops, called quota day. Tried to move back to my hood, were price out by business cash buying the homes. Now Bankhead, is the West Buckhead. Crazy!!!
