'Stop Cop City' petition campaign in limbo after signatures presented to Atlanta officials
Officials from the City of Atlanta have refused to verify tens of thousands of signatures submitted by activists who have been trying for two years to stop the construction of a police and firefighter training center. The city clerk's office on Monday cited a recent court order that it said bars it from processing the paperwork. The development was the latest setback for organizers, who accuse officials of trying to illegitimately push forward a project that they derisively call “Cop City.” City officials say they're waiting for an appeals court to rule on the validity of the time extension a previous judge gave the activists to collect signatures.
