Police vs. Atlanta: The Battle Over Cop City
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 дек 2022
- Atlanta is building a $90 million state-of-the-art police training facility that activists call “Cop City.” Major corporations like UPS, Home Depot and Delta Air Lines are investing millions of dollars into the project, financially pressuring politicians to push the plan forward.
The Atlanta Police Foundation is one of the most powerful police foundations in the country.
Forest defenders are occupying the forest by living in trees and destroying equipment to resist the building of the campus. The city calls them “domestic terrorists.”
We take you inside the battle against “Cop City” as both the city and defenders refuse to back down.

I heard someone once say: "When the government and corporations come together to force an action on the public, its Fascism"

USA will be the biggest prison in the world. Bigger than Xinjiang and Israel.
Military police and forrest people having a non stop battle. This is like the plot from Avatar.
I disagree. Avatar doesn't have a plot.
@@patrickbarnes9874 Avatar is a retelling of stories that came before it. How does it not have a plot?
Ummmm.......this story came straight outta the satanic book called the Bible.
😄😄😄
The "Forrest People" will be squashed like a grape, once the expansion begins.
Now they're just being surveilled.
Find myself interested in finding a video from these city meetings as the councilman claimed they had no push back during talks.
Did you cos I want them 🙏
That’s because they’re liars. This is my parents backyard and they’re very much involved and work goes on locally so they’ve had these in meetings undercover.
There are so many areas that are already developed where a facility like this could go. Why do they feel the need to destroy acres and acres of beautiful green space.
because the body's will start to smell
@@masonicjewel6687 so, whilst they are practising how to shoot and beat the public more effectively...they can relax breath in that lovely fresh air.
They can replant, and the whole point is separation
I wonder if anyone said that, as your house was bein' built. Your living room may have been where deer grazed, among acres and acres of beautiful green space.
Because of its historic importance to the people in the area, they want to destroy culture everywhere.
Why are private companies involved in this?
Because it’s a America the USA is one big business
why not ? why is every government run by banks and industry ?
Yea but this specifically and so much money
@@thomasaddis51 Corporations are investing a lot of money in this
Because that's how government and big companies works like.
I live by a "cop city" in NC. They aren't good neighbors, setting off quarter sticks of dynamite as late as 11 pm, when their car hits the blacktop at the entry of the compound, every single one of them stomps it to the floor to get to the stop sign close by, shooting target practice at 8 am on Sunday morning, way more trash thrown out on weeks that they have group practice (or what ever they are doing) ...
Move to mexico or the ukraine if you don't like it. SMH
@@imperialmotoring3789 thanks for emphasizing my point, no mutual respect for others, displaying feelings of entitlement, acting as if the earth is theirs and theirs alone...good thing everyone isnt that callous towards others.
So there are other Cop Cities in America? What are they preparing for? It’s definitely not law enforcement.
@@gabehcuodsuoitneterp203 Every town should have a cop city. Why not? We need more ICE facilities also.
@@sunnydayo6847 So true! Illegals, antifa, socialists, all hate freedom and liberty and truly hate the USA.
If they build this training center, will they go inside a school building with an active shooter?
There are at least 3 schools in the area- both Atlanta Public Schools and Dekalb County- and they're already treated like prisons.
why do your job when you can just wait for the shooter to run out of ammo/kids to kill
All this militarization of police has not led to more kindhearted and altruistic cops, so I doubt it
Probably not. In Castle Rock vs. Gonzales the supreme court has ruled that police agencies are not obligated to provide protection of citizens.
The cops ARE the active shooters.
The fact schools get closed, half of American water can give you cancer, 60% of Americans life pay check to pay check, etc, but you have money to build a cop city is wild.
has anyone noticed how hard it is to find information about cop city on youtube that isn’t from a major media source?

Why don’t the cops just use some of the millions of abandoned buildings? There is no need to destroy a forest and displace people.
There AREN'T millions of abandoned buildings in Atlanta.
Looks like fruit bat, folding chair, drags balls on rocks and the rest of the terrorists from the forest are already doing a great job ruining nature. Look at all the trash they’re leaving around.
Displace people!?!? Is that what you took from this? These people are communists who went into the woods to prevent the cops from building there. Mentally ill degenerates.
This aged well...
if you check the ratio, it is not negative. good observation skills.
Can you please enlighten me?
Living in thr ATL area (suburbs) I heard the term cop city in various news reports, but didn't fully understand the pushback to create a place for cops to train. This reporting really helps. I didn't know residents were against it at all.
Why are you going to a Saudi run organization that funds terrorism for your news? Weird they didn’t mention the facility is equally split for EMS and fire training too. Did you also miss the part where the terrorists got caught with explosives , guns, shot a cop, put out hits on cops, burned down houses and burned a car with a guy in it?
The media can always find people to confirm the narrative they want to portray.
Yeah, nobody is crying but the weirdos living in the woods
Maybe you should think twice before moving near a prison.
They are all from outside of the region and have been found to be mostly rich white brats who have nothing else to do.
So long as police culture remains toxic, no amount of training will remedy that. Police, instead of building positive relationships with said community, will continue to see them as the enemy...
That's just the nature of police.
The police are on the side of the bourgeois and are our class enemies always have been.
The only culture that is toxic is Hip Hop culture.
@@richardskinner3026 [Citation Needed]
Police culture is domestic murder cult
That’s wild. The city could have used Fort McPherson but they sold it Tyler Perry.
They also need an ICE facility. Hope they have enough green space for that!
Follow the money.
Peace from Texas
The rich people want this project, build it on their backyard. They can afford to give up a golf course or two.
Well if you put it like that... They will just purchase the land, put a big wall around it and call it, "their backyard" thinking it will appease you 😂
70% of city residents said no! They have no representation on city council either!
Wtf are you talking about? Most of the council is made up of minorities.
But if you want something aren't you supposed to just get it instead of investing your time and money into an election for chance to be voted into city council where you can have a chance to vote against it? Never mind that sounds too much like work.
Boycott the corporations. The mayor didn’t help anything

Many camps were just raided with defenders receiving terorrist charges. Share this as much as possible!
Yeah, it's about time. Lock them all up
Good, domestic terrorists is exactly what they are. They're using violence in furtherance of a political objective. Hopefully these dangerous, violent thugs receive long prison sentences, preferably in GITMO.
Those "activists" have harassed local residents & even set a mans truck on fire when he was trying to pick up trash he thought was abandoned.
Have you seen their little campout in the woods? It's totally littered with trash.
they were building bombs, burned down a few homes and some dudes work truck, also carjacking and mugging
THE WICKED JUST CAN'T REST !!!!!!!
10:17 One of them say the quiet part outloud. They're just further militarzing the police further. Georgia is basically ran as a Banana Republic*. And if you live in GA, you know it*.
truly, IFYKYK. love from coweta.
feel like its worth noting that it wasnt actually a response to the 2020 uprisings, it was announced way back in 2017, i wish more of us knew about it earlier on :/
Yea such a bad thing that cops are getting trained :/ They should just give them a gun and send them off on their way :/ :/ :/
@@yungy7942 For some reason, RUclips hid your rational response. I had to manually look for it, don't know why it was hidden.
“I move around the city constantly” 😂.. what does that even mean 6.24
Another irony? Protesting a facility that would provide training for police and other first responders, that the most people insist they don't get enough of.
Can afford all of this, but not body cameras?
I believe it was the state troopers that didn’t have bodycams. Atlanta had them.
Vote for more trees, not violence
I am for less people and more threes. Less people means less need for cops . It works out
Your ecoterrorists are all about violence. They attacked police, EMTs, construction workers, and even burned the truck of a guy who was concerned about illegal dumping. I'm sure these hyperprivileged children all come from wealthy families and have terrible/zero relationships with their father. Will daddy's money be able to get the kiddos out of this one? That remains to be seen. Meanwhile, us productive members of society will continue carrying on the best we can, with slightly less burden now that a few more of you neoliberal terrorists are behind bars.
@@Brendan.Day76 You're for less people? Who do you want to kill first, comrade?

Wow can’t believe I’m only hearing about this now
Don't buy from corporate
If you’re creating a police state then you need a “cop city” to train and house them.
Alright then how abt YOU attend to the school shootings, fire incidents, hostage rescue that this cop city is intended for? It is convenient how you decide to immediately conclude as "creating a police state". But alright no need for cops, lets leave Atlanta to rot like LA or NY when u can steal anything as long as it is below 900 bucks
Seems you are missing the point: You don't need a police state...
@@hakuyuki6859 Did somebody say otherwise? No.
And if you’re breeding criminals, you need a cop city
USA will be the biggest prison in the world. Bigger than Xinjiang and Israel.
Why the f*** do they need a 90 million dollar training facility?
The incoming police state
Everything is expensive these days. It's a training facility. Don't you think cops should be well trained?
@@magsteel9891 the question isn’t do they need to be well trained but why do they need to have 90 million dollar facility to do so? I mean most other police departments seem to be managing just fine, it’s not like they are FBI agents or the even the DEA.
@@ChunLi3 You are focusing on the cost. I doubt you would change your mind if it was free. Think of it as a trade school. I have a fire training center by my house, it's a non-issue. The people in this video opposing it are from all over the country and have all different justifications. They'd be there if it was a dog shelter or a preschool too, because mother earth is offended or the lakota indians are offended or black lives matter or capitalism is bad or whatever
Of course I’m focusing on the cost 90 million dollars is money that could be put into the community as a whole. If focus on putting funding in schools an community resources that would keep people off the street and get them into treatment centers issues like drugs and stealing won’t become a big issue because you have a community that can support itself thus building trust building trust. This doesn’t help the community at all especially considering all the incidents when mass shootings happen and the police do nothing to stop them. This isn’t new either mass shootings have been happening since the 90s so they have had over 2 decades to train.
I like how she says allegedly and in the video shows a Molotov cocktail being thrown
The police are literally hitting themselves. The people causing violence are not protesters. They're blue on blue. They corralled themselves within the razor wire c'mon. What protestor walks into a choke point unless they're led into one by the police. They're doing this to suppress the first amendment rights of protestors so the prosecutor can prosecute them for terrorism and throw the book at them. Leading them into a choke point was a dragnet and they only caught two people that wasn't with them. I promise you its these little dipsh*t task force goons. They're terrorizing people all over the city.
Oh and the wells fargo that got attacked in downtown? They're a member of the atlanta police foundation. If they can prove they used mob behavior to extort financing or support from their facility by riots and property damage from wells Fargo to make wells Fargo support the project by instilling fear in them they might have a federal rico case on their hands. 🍿
@@RikodiusRex they did what do fires just randomly combust when people stand around it. The protesters were literally throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails in the video did me and you not see the same video. What are you saying all of these people are a police informants and it's not actually protesters that doesn't make any goddamn sense.
Affordable housing is more important. Lowering home interest rate so the middle class can become home owners. Can they find other ways boost morale within the APD. Instead of spending millions to build a facility, that money should be put into their pockets so they can be home’s owners too and pay for their kid’s education. Don’t cut the tree down, give the officers who serve our community a raise and focus on community relations. Revamp the facilities you already have and build the building up! ❤
A facility is needed.
They plan on renting out space for other depts nationwide to partake in training exercises , that money is earmarked for building small homes for homeless and low income families
There are ongoing programs to get first responders into housing. Some of them are free.
@@cs4451 question: is it possible that, when the city rents this massive training space out to the nations' dept's, that it might be the case that our own APD officers may find it hard to get IN on training time slots??? like, theyll be competing for space anyway?
@@stubborntrudy I'm sure they figured out to give their own area priority, and come up with competing rates for other areas. I'm sure their actuary has it already figured it out
My word?! They really talmbout some "We plan to commemorate shit after we deliberately destroy it"...
I feel like the environmental issue overshadows the other issue: further militarization of police is a very bad idea. especially after recent years.
What I’ve seen lately, we need to triple Law Enforcement to get rid of “varmints in the woods.”
Its not just the police its a training facility for every type of first responded
That one black dude and the old lady are the only black folks talking shit about this. They're probably looking for an attorney to file a senseless lawsuit.

Maybe copcity will prevent Atlanta from becoming Portland Part 2
There's already a state of the art training vacility less than an hour away, in Perry as the Gentleman pointed out in above comments, while I agree we Georgians don't want Portland here, I don't agree with much of anything the police do.
@@GawgaCracka cops aren’t all bad. Sure, some don’t belong in the position, but I also look at how the media only crams the negative incidents down our throats. They don’t speak about the positive things they’re capable of, just the bad.

While I do agree to a point, but there are good cops out here, they're people like us, but you are right many are ego driven thugs who believe 100% they are above the law which they took an oath to uphold. America is quickly headed for a position of dire straits, if we the people don't recall "together we stand" we're going to live the rest of the quote.

If that statement about how there hasn't been proper environmental analysis yet, there's gotta be state or federal laws about this.

Well, it looks like all this backfired for the out of state domestic terrorists who run around in their black jammies.
The protesters are throwing molotov cocktails? In the forest? Yeah because that'll save the woods.
No matter how you approach the issue of crime. In our cities
. It will turn to skin colour ( inserts: treat others as I treat myself ) 🤡🌎
Notice almost all of the protesters are white. The area is black and the blacks in the area do want the facility to be built.
And to the people who say oh its for training ok but the problem is no amount of training will help with narcissism or tyranny!
If you got lots of cash then they will turn the other way!
Threats of violence and lots of money evil will do what they do.

They understand it. They don't care. They don't need more training. They need accountability.

Hi ninja, I think this is an important supposition you make. Whether the information could be trusted or not a follow up story here, which maybe already exists from some other Atlanta based sources, cop city propaganda, etc., could be to make the curriculum in that regard transparent.

Step 2) pay for facility to train them better

Finding a solution that makes everyone happy can be difficult, but it isn't impossible.

"Non bias"? Are you kidding?
@@naughtynaughtyJay Lol super non Bias, SIKE!
I’m sure there’s a lot of broken down buildings or unused space in the city that the police could use to build a training center instead of cutting the forest down … why would they train police in a facility in middle of woods when they are city police going to b trained to work in the city. I would go to the Muskogee nation if no one has yet to see if they can bring up treaty rights and take it to Supreme Court to try and save the land but I’m sure someone has already tried that but just a ideal if it hasn’t .
Best way to justify spending millions on preparing for war with the people is socially engineering a war with the people.
This was a prison! The city has owned this land before these people even lived their. People are already complaining about the cost you want them to buy city land on top of it? Just more entitled people that will NEVER be happy. You just can't please some people.
@@user-nd2ei3dd3zit’s a dumb idea and an incredible waste of money just pay cops better and pay for better and longer training periods
@@timeforchange3786 Look at the history of those acres and you would realize it needs to become even more of a forest and memorial to all the souls who were pushed out, enslaved or imprisoned there. Spiritual needs of those people, many of them long dead need to be addressed and healed. You think building a huge police facility on that forest will heal those spiritual wounds? But I probably waste my time explaining this to you.
I think the idea it to separate them and remove hostility
Dustin Hillis, Chair of The Public Safety Committee said he's been to numerous public meetings with multiple chances to speak.
"Never have I been to a meeting where I have been told, 'we don't want this.'

Cop City - URBAN TRAINING CENTER. Pretty interesting on how this is going to turn out in the next couple of years for the city of Atlanta and all of its black millionaires. Just seems like there’s more to this. Most surveilled city with the surveillance financed by the police foundation. Why Atlanta and not Chicago? 54 people were killed in Chicago just 2 weeks ago. Strange

Hm I’m moving to Atlanta soon temporarily… should I consider being a forest woman?
they always need help !
Yes, there are plenty of handcuffs and jail cells available.

Please do! Someone has to stop the destruction of our last remaining green spaces. Rates of biological extinction are at an all time high.

It's good that they have a school within that campus for the police academy because although on school shootings that have been taking place they need a place to conduct these operations so that they can be best first responders when something like that happens
Boycott Home Depot Delta airlines UPS Chick-fil-A. Etc. who are funding this 😮
Just makes me think of the beginnings of judge dread.
Pretty much what it is
How about Robocop City??
City officials say they speak for the people and haven’t seen or heard of any objection, fine start protesting in front of all the officials that voted yea homes… if they won’t come to the meetings, take the meetings to them… i live in NE ATL and this isn’t making the news at all! We need all hands on deck!
HAHA GET SCRUBBED
Because the folks who live in that area actually want that facility to be built.
@@laryanryan9170 bell no they don't
@@AngryAsianOG yes they do
I think it's too big. Over 100 acres? That's crazy-town. Something is needed though! Especially when you also consider that this is happening in Atlanta - one of the most crime ridden areas in the United States. There are over 100,000 (one hundred thousand) gang members in Atlanta. Pretty much most (or at least a large percentage) of the cop shooting videos (most/almost all justified) we see here on RUclips, come from Atlanta. :o
Goodness me!
For reference, the standard American Football field (without sidelines) is 1.32 acres. That's 3 football fields for every 4 acres. "Cop City" is over 100 acres. This department already has a fairly large shooting range - so nothing or at least not much more is needed for that.
Also troubling is Atlanta's cooperative involvement with Israeli forces in conjunction with this project. Not good! Not good at all!
@@teletesselator Rifle ranges and training ranges require different regulation and safety protocol. Plus EMS building and training. Plus a fire tower and firefighter training facility along with many other. It’s for all first responders. Also was an old prison site and built on already cleared space.
@@OvercomeEverythingJosh According to the video no, it is NOT "already cleared space". If it were already cleared then they wouldn't have to be removing TREE HOUSES. Duh.
Whether or not that much space is justifiable is arguable, I grant that. You're opinion is different than mine on that topic. I think each of the activities you mentioned should placed at least a mile from each other and not part of a central compound.
Places contribute to a mindset. You're likely to think differently about your high school, collage, or university if it occupies 100 acres and has areas for every field of study (connected) than you are if your school occupies one acre in a 10 story building and is dedicated to only the hard sciences.
I personally think the later is more beneficial in promoting the mindset I would hope to have in a police force. YMMV.
Yes, deadly force is sometimes needed and especially in the Atlanta area but cops should feel as if and operate from the idea that they are part and parcel of the community they are policing. NOT an all-powerful mega-culture removed and superior from the people they _serving_.
That's one of the reasons I think it's too big. And the other lesser reason, is that yes, indeed, they are ripping up the land in order to construct it. The people in the area affected by this project are aware of these two - whether consciously or subconsciously - and have good reason to object. Noise is probably another even more minor reason. At last, there are more good reasons against constructing a mega facility than there are for.
Lastly, that Israel is involved in any way shape or form with U.S. policing is a huge shame on those allowing it. Worst idea ever! The USA is NOT Israel and I hope with all my heart that we never become like them - especially having to do with law enforcement!!!
“Domestic terrorism” okay dude.
So we need more police to be trained for as many scenarios as humanely possible but police training facilities are bad?
Of course. Cops should be able to save every overdosed criminal they come across regardless of their training. That's what the St. Floyd rioters told me.
good content AJ keep it up
I dont think they should destroy the forest!
The public: Affordable housing?
Atlanta’s government: Nah
The public: Support for mental health?
Atlanta’s government: Nah… but we can build you a cop city though
the mayor promised 2% of the budget for affordable housing and suddenly couldn’t find the money once he was elected. but 30% of the budget for cops and cop city is perfectly reasonable to him.
This is sad! Hope everyone will see this and do something to help the neighborhood!
The criminals are the problem there..not the cops
Maybe the neighborhood shouldn't have moved into city owned land.
The neighborhood wants it. The few blacks in this video are the only ones who don't want it. The white protesters have no clue. This is nothing more than a land grab by squatters who refuse to leave.
