Ryan Millsap is a real estate mogul who clearcut 50 acres of the South River Forest before changing his mind about the location. He traded the land and privatized a public park. Records show that he offered to fund Cop City as long as he could use the unused land on the site.

When someone dies in the Fulton County Jail, Sheriff Labat uses it to call for a new jail. When Atlanta Police kill someone, Mayor Andre Dickens uses it to call for more training (at Cop City). This pattern is how we built the system of Mass Incarceration.

I don’t really know how to report on this, but police killed a protester in Weelaunee forest this morning. A GSP Officer was also shot. The police narrative is that they were fired upon first. Keep in mind the original narrative after police killed George Floyd.

PLEASE DO NOT go to the police department who killed someone in order to give them initial statements. Consult a lawyer. Go to the family's lawyer. The cops can and will use any of your statements in court to build a justification for this shooting.

This is an absolute scandal. If city council doesn’t do something about it, the public funding for Cop City is likely to cost almost THREE TIMES the amount that @andreforatlanta has continuously said. The current legislation leaves the path wide open for that.

In 2021, Atlanta officials told residents Cop City will require $30 million in public funds. The actual number they discussed behind the scenes that year was much higher. Now City Council is voting to approve this growing cost on June 5th.
