#BREAKING:

100s-deep #StopCopCity protest marching down powerline clearing towards police set up doing surveillance by the forested site of the proposed urban warfare campus. There is a police helicopter overhead.

“The biggest march in the forest thus far,” one activist says.

The scene moments ago right by Intrenchment Creek and the Old Prison Farm/proposed “Cop City” site in DeKalb County just outside Atlanta - thousands flocked to the ongoing “Week of Action” after police shot & killed a forest defender here in January.
Forest defenders have taken over the police surveillance outpost on the power line clearing near Intrenchment Creek. Police retreated after crowd arrived at barbed wire fence and shot fireworks into the area. People are smashing and destroying the outpost’s remains, sirens can be heard in the distance. A security light post is on fire.
This police vehicle that was just guarding access to the proposed “Cop City” site is now engulfed in flames.
@UnicornRiot this helps no one except LEOs

@Pat needing to replace equipment like this -- that they do in fact need, otherwise it would not be there -- objectively slows them down, even if it's replaced from a taxpayer-funded city budget. Property damage is one of the most effective tools in the direct action arsenal

Police will escalate no matter what, because their job is to make sure Cop City happens. People aren't just going to sit in trees and wait to be shot like Tort

@currentbias so how does this help achieve the purported goal? Maybe the goal was increased expenditures and I missed that. Is so, sorry

@Pat the goal is to stop cop city by any means necessary. Do you understand the stakes?

We have been watching police budgets increase year over year without protesters destroying equipment. They don't need our help increasing expenditures

@currentbias I believe you have missed my point. anyway, I hope the people get wha they want. seriously.
