I trolled the cops at Cop City

Thank you Chris Mowrey for coming along with me that day.

Cop City is a 100 acre military facility being built outside of Atlanta for the APD. All of us distinctly remember chanting "build the cops a military facility" while we marched for Black Lives Matter.

Special shout out to all of the Democratic council members that voted to approve Cop City, please never march with or for BLM ever again. You are not welcome.

Reverend Kiana Jones need to run for office and the residents need to turn out en masse and support her.

So frustrating that you KNOW there’s countless numbers in the homeless community in need of shelter and instead the city is going to waste millions on a fake city. Subjugating the community its meant to protect.

The Last thing America needs is another overpriced training facility where cops learn more ways to use Police Brutality.

The public: Housing?
Atlanta: Nah.
Public: Support for mental illness?
Atlanta: Nah
Public: Affordable groceries?
Atlanta: Nah... we can build you a cop city though

[h.g.]

I fucking LOVE this lady's intelligent sarcasm. Where can we donate to their efforts?

[Thepaulislame]

Reverend Kiana Jones sure knows her stuff! Good on her.

It's worse than she described even. A fully stocked "nightclub" for practice on.... drinking and partying, I guess. The facilities are disgusting and obviously a pacifier for these babies feeling accountability, these days.

Seeing those black officer look down on the reverend with disgust and contempt while she was speaking is so disappointing and angering.

[peggyolson]

Thanks to Walter for raising awareness about this alarming plan for Cop City. And for giving a platform to these people who are protesting it. It should be a much bigger story in the news!!

We need to stop being shocked by police violence and abuse and start treating law enforcement agencies like the corrupt organizations that they are. End qualified immunity. Enforce personal responsibility for individuals as well as those in charge of municipalities that turn a blind eye to abuse by law enforcement.

This is the US and how it works. Please take note. We usually don't see it in such a transparent fashion. The majority of citizens say "No, we don't want that." And their representatives say " We don't care what you want". The people with the money and their lapdogs with the guns come first, always.

Hey just a note for the reverend. The police are not carrying ar-15s, they carry m4 variants. The difference is that m4's are full auto and ar-15s are not. They dont use the civillian version of the rifle, they use the military version.
Edit: The police do use ar-15's as well, one of the benefits of having a bottomless budget is having as many guns as you want

[CelestialHart]

wow and somehow we don't have funding to provide housing to the homeless

[CaptPeon]

How do cops live with themselves?! Maybe that's why they disproportionately commit domestic violence and the like?

[Abakedpotoker]

A nice walking path right through it. The energy in that line was awesome. She was passionate af

[suzannefarrington]

As a white guy, he's highly helpful in being an ally. I like to see Masterson show another side of conventional-appearing people who are far cooler than most would ever guess.

[kathryngould]

Rev. Kiana Jones, you are the respectable leader and voice that we need to hear in this time of political shamelessness.

[Ironraven]

Thank you for exposing this fascist garbage.

[Crazyw_thechzwhz]

Mad respect for Reverend Kiana. Not only is she an on the ground activist, she remembered all the names of those crappy humans without missing a beat ❤

[detrate]

Came for the trolling, stayed for the profound public service announcement. Excellent work, Walter. Keep it up.
