Activists Report Police Intimidation and Destruction of Supplies in 'Cop City'

TL;DR Summary
Atlanta police officers raided a property in the Lakewood neighborhood, slashing medical supply tents, breaking windows of a camper van parked on site, and ripping netting surrounding a greenhouse. The raid was part of the state's prosecution of unprecedented domestic terrorism charges against members of a social movement opposing a $90m police and fire department training center, known as "Cop City," planned for the nearby South River forest. The movement has also opposed a former film studio owner's plans to convert 40 acres of public park in the forest into private property, calling for the forest to be preserved.
