Today 5 community activists were arrested for protesting Atlanta's new "Cop City" with tree sits, forest blockades, and allegedly throwing rocks at police.

They're being charged with domestic terrorism.

Here's why all activists need to be paying attention: The Atlanta Public Safety Training Center -- dubbed "Cop City" -- is $90 million, 85-acre facility that would destroy one of the largest forested areas in the city.

Activists have set up blockades in the forest and occupied trees to halt development.

The police response yesterday showed just how upside-down things have gotten.



But left/progressive activists saying “domestic terrorism!” and sending photos to the FBI is really problematic.



Here’s why: The police state doesn’t need your help.
