Public comments abound - most of it (again) against the proposed public safety training facility. You wouldn't know that by following the official city of Atlanta Twitter account - which shared two pro-facility comments before removing those video shares. Anyhow, you'll hear from Dr. Jackie Echols of the South River Watershed Alliance, along with representation from the NAACP and a passionate pushback from Shannon Cofrin Gaggaro - a close friend of Amy St. Pierre. Amy was a mass shooting victim in Atlanta recently, but was invoked (without name) in a recent op/ed penned by Mayor Andre Dickens. Shannon penned a response op/ed the Cox Media Group-owned AJC has opted not to publish, so the Atlanta Press Collective did. CMG, by the way, is an Atlanta Police Foundation corporate donor. Both of Georgia's Senators have (finally) weighed in on #copcity in the aftermath of the Atlanta Solidarity Fund arrests, and I have their statements.
