"The system has, once again, declared its own innocence," lamented one activist after a Georgia prosecutor's office said it would not charge the killers of Manuel Terán, better known as "Tortuguita."
Georgia opened up a massive military-compound like police training facility in a forest. Protesters were camped out nearby.
Cops came and cleared out the camp and executed this man. They claim he shot at them and they returned fire. Forensics showed the victim had no gunshot residue on his hands. There is also apparently body camera footage but cops of course won’t release it.
Now I’m picturing two groups of cops on opposite sides of a forest clearing yelling “I’m taking fire” while blasting away at the opposite side, and some poor bastard in the middle getting caught in the crossfire before the morons figure out they were the ones shooting at each other.
Sometimes it’s hard to tell maliciousness from massive incompetence because police often departments seem to have so much of both in ready supply.

It’s not built yet, and hopefully never will be. The cops were attacking the protestors because they wanted, among other things, to clear the way for construction.

The body cam footage also shows the cops likely shot each other.
To be fair they hadn’t completed training yet
Cant tell if this is serious or not.
Lol if you don’t know not to shoot fellow cops unless you’ve had training you’re probably a prime candidate to be a cop

ACAB
Yes, I’m aware of what comm we’re in
Are you aware your tone comes off as rude?
Honestly, you can’t tell when someone makes a small joke so I’m not worried about it.
Me neither. Which sorta sums up the whole situation, in Georgia and in America.

Jesus christ. I appreciate the synopsis, I hate the outcome.
And they’re using RICO to go after activists too.
