ATLANTA — Dozens of people gathered outside of Atlanta City Hall on Friday to protest plans to build a police and firefighter training center across 85 acres of wooded property in DeKalb County.
“Stop cop city,” chanted 64 protesters in reference to the name activists use to denounce Atlanta’s proposed public safety training center.
Friday’s protest attracted adults and children as they marched around the City Hall building for an hour. The demonstrators, who declined to be named, said they initiated the protest because officials have begun to cut down trees at the site of the planned facility.
