The family of activist Manuel “Tortuguita” Teran says newly released body camera videos from Atlanta Police Department officers “raise more questions than they answer” about last month’s deadly shooting near the property where the city’s police foundation plans to build a $90-million training center.
Other activists, meanwhile, have seized upon a single line uttered in the roughly two hours of footage, holding it out as evidence of a cover-up of a Georgia State Patrol trooper being wounded by friendly fire and not Teran.
“Man,” the APD officer is heard saying before using an expletive, “you (messed) your own officer up.”
