More than 60 protesters of Atlanta's new public safety training center, dubbed"Cop City," are facing sweeping criminal charges due to efforts to halt construction.
Fulton Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee was originally assigned to the case, but he filed an order of recusal on Tuesday. The case has been reassigned to Fulton County Superior Court Judge Kimberly Adams. The training center is intended for use by the Atlanta Police Department. The new center is slated to have a mock city, hence the name"Cop City," and will also have a"burn building" for firefighters, a firing range, a driving course, stables and pastures for police horses, and kennels for K-9 dogs.
Last week, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted the city of Atlanta a temporary delay in the injunction handed down on July 27 by a federal judge. The injunction allowed non-Atlanta residents to collect signatures and extended the collection time frame by an additional 60 days for the petition drive, which needs 58,231 signatures, to oppose the training center.
