A paid parking lot used by some #StopCopCity protesters appears to have two immobilization boots applied to every single vehicle that paid to park in the lot.
A rented white van full of cops parked right outside the lot can be heard laughing as people continue to arrive to discover the boots on their vehicle.
An employee of Empire Parking Services collecting boot fees, when asked if police asked EPS to target out-of-town vehicles driven by protesters and media, said “ask the police.” Yellow boots placed on the tires and rim of a parked compactYellow boots placed on the tires and rim of a parked compact

Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens has claimed that a “Community Stakeholder Advisory Committee” represented public buy-in on the “Cop City” project.

In reality, the committee was conducting a “narrative” “offensive” on behalf of the Atlanta Police Foundation:

When committee leaders moved to kick an environmental engineer off the committee for telling press that the “Cop City” plan ignored environmental issues, Atlanta PD Chief Darin Schierbaum was allowed to vote as part of the contested removal process.

Meanwhile, some committee members who were local residents near the proposed site, who opposed the removal of environmental engineer Lily Ponitz from the committee, were not allowed a vote in the matter at all.

Arrest warrants filed in Georgia in December justify charging #StopCopCity protesters with “Domestic Terrorism” by citing a federal Dept of Homeland Security “extremist” designation.

But DHS says the designation cited by Georgia cops doesn’t even exist: unicornriot.ninja/2023/community… ImageImageImage
Most of the original “Domestic Terrorism” warrants for environmentalists were written by Georgia Bureau of Investigation Special Agent [Gerald] Ryan Long, who joined GBI after leaving the Lilburn PD in 2019. Image
While with the Lilburn PD in 2018, Long shot at a vehicle driven by someone named Jesse Allen.

We can’t find any news reporting about this shooting anywhere.

“Use of deadly force” language in incident paperwork implies Long possibly killed this person, but we cannot confirm. ImageImageImage
