Cop City is a proposed training facility established to further militarize our police departments. Cop City in Atlanta has been met with protests as the corporations behind this compound seek to increase their influence and subsequently use public police departments as their public/private CAPOS or mafia-like enforcers against those pesky people who actually believe in democracy. A young activist named Manuel Paez Teran was shot 57 TIMES by Atlanta police during a non-violent protest. He was 26 years old at the time of his police murder. Protests continued and predictably arrests followed for what is protected 1st amenndment activities. A group called the Atlanta Solidarity Fund raises funds and arranges bail and attorneys for arrested protesters. Three of this group's organizers were arrested in a violent SWAT attack on their home. The ramifications for democracy are obvious. This is story #1. 

Story #2 This ties in with the first story. I will begin to discuss the corporate interests behind Cop City and the obvious conflict of interest. I will also begin to discuss the danger of new laws which expand the definition of 'terrorism.' 

We will also have our 'My Little Margie" segment and of course the "Jackass of the Week Award." 

Come join me.
