I keep seeing people ask #StopCopCity activists the same question:
“bUt IsN’t MoRe TrAiNiNg A gOoD tHiNg?”
The short answer is, of course, NO! #AbolishThePolice
Let’s do a quick THREAD 🧵🪡 about the person who heads up training for Atlanta Police Department:
Fred Watson.

Let’s do a quick THREAD 🧵🪡 about the person who heads up training for Atlanta Police Department:
Fred Watson.
Major Fred Watson is the APD “Training Academy Director” in charge of all training for Atlanta Police. He is also on the GA POST advisory board.
Watson oversees the “Police Curriculum” sub-group for the South River Forest Cop City Task Force— he’s very involved in Cop City.

Watson was an early member of the notoriously violent & corrupt RED DOG Unit, focused on narcotics.
Anyone who KNOWS about RED DOG knows this is a huge 🚩— it had to be disbanded in 2011.
RED DOG was similar to the SCORPION unit that killed #TyreNichols

#1 Jill Savitt, the National Center for Civil & Human Rights (@Ctr4CHR)
Jill Savitt seems to be a good person who genuinely cares abt working towards justice, but is caught up in a web of media, liberalism & big money that is actively attempting to neutralize her better angels.

But regardless of her intent, as the face of a national center for Civil & Human Rights— someone with deep knowledge of conditions leading up to genocide, authoritarian regimes & other human rights atrocities— Savitt’s silence around the #StopCopCity movement has been noticeable.

#1 Greta G. deMayo, @PATHFoundation
As Executive Director of the Path Foundation & regular collaborator w/ metro Atlanta city planning bodies, deMayo’s role on this taskforce is two-fold: provide professional capacity for “park/trail” planning for Cop City & lend legitimacy.

Now this thread is less about deMayo and more about the true power players— the @CityofAtlanta & the @PATHFoundation Board of Directors/ major donors. Ultimately an NGO ED serves at the behest of the Board & they have the power to fire deMayo, meaning their influence is HUGE.

I spoke with @kamaufranklin, who co-founded @CommunityMvt after years with @MXGMNyc in NYC, about Cop City in Atlanta and what it means for liberation movements in the US and worldwide
“We’ve got to get to a place in our movement where we’re winning some of these struggles, but we can only have that when the lulls happen and we’re not falling apart”
@kamaufranklin on what we can learn from #StopCopCity — even if we *don’t* win

Weil es im deutschsprachigen Raum noch kaum besprochen wird: Ein kleiner Thread über #Tortuguita und #StopCopCity in Atlanta

Tortuguita hatte gemeinsam mit anderen Aktivist:innen den South River Forest besetzt, um eine Rodung des Waldes und den Bau einer großen Polizeitrainingseinrichtung zu verhindern ("Cop City")
Für das Projekt wurden bereits 90 Mio. Dollar Steuergeld bereit gestellt, und 140 Hektar öffentlicher Parkfläche zur Rodung freigegeben. 140 Hektar Park, das entspricht: Hasenheide + Humboldthain + Gleisdreieckpark + Görli + Mauerpark.
