‘Stop Cop City’ activists in Georgia arrested after chaining themselves to bulldozer

Five Activists, including two in clerical attire, were arrested in Georgia for chaining themselves to a bulldozer to halt the construction of an Atlanta-area police and firefighter training center known as "Cop City." The protest took place as a larger group gathered to deliver a mock "stop work order" against the project, citing environmental damage and the militarization of the police as concerns. The activists face charges of trespassing, and their names have not been released. The arrest occurred two days after 61 people were indicted on racketeering charges in connection with the "Stop Cop City" movement.
