In this episode of KYRC Podcast, co-hosts Amir Whitaker and Diana Barbadillo dive into the heated debate surrounding Atlanta's "Cop City" project. This controversial military-style police training complex has sparked major pushback due to its environmental impact, as it involves deforesting a large area, and concerns over police militarization. Critics argue that the money would be better spent on essential community services and social programs. The conversation explores how environmental activism and anti-police militarization movements intersect, highlighting the extreme police response to protests, which included the use of military-grade weapons and excessive force. The episode also discusses how similar projects are emerging nationwide, driven by corporate interests and the strong influence of police associations.
