Protesters against the so-called “Cop City” project disrupted an Atlanta City Council meeting on September 16, throwing ping pong balls and chanting “You dropped the ball,” just over a year
after they turned in a petition calling for a public vote.The city of Atlanta
says the planned Public Safety Training Center, priced at over $100 million, is needed to replace “facilities that are spread out, and that fall short of meeting the city’s needs.”According to the
