Activists in the Weelaunee Forest, just outside of Atlanta, had been protesting the development of an 85-acre site into a police and firefighter training center, which they call "Cop City". The protesters had been living on the site and referred to themselves as "forest defenders". A police operation on January 18 resulted in the death of Manuel Esteban Paez Terán, who went by the name Tortuguita, and the hospitalization of a state trooper who was shot. Officials claim officers fired in self-defense after Tortuguita shot the trooper, while activists argue it was state-sanctioned murder. The land was initially suggested to be turned into park space by environmentalists who argued that the trees were essential to preserving Atlanta's tree canopy and reducing flooding.

I guess it was about almost two weeks ago with Matthew Johnson from the Beloved Community Ministries in Georgia. It was in cop city which is like I think it's a 400 or close to a 500-acre stretch of Forest on the outskirts of Atlanta bordered by some black communities that are slated to be the largest cop training facility in the nation. and protesters have gone on there. and originally this property was supposed to be slated for something else. I mean it's a really horrible type of situation and just furthers the militarization of the police. and supported by major corporations. yeah totally. and there have been protesters living in the forest attempting to prevent the development of this forest for that purpose. and they've been somewhat successful and the cops have started to assault them. in fact Kemp just a couple of days ago I think it was just around the time of the interview activated a thousand National Guardsmen. and it followed in the and just like in a couple of weeks earlier I think it was the beginning of January one of the protesters sleeping in their tent was shot by the Atlanta police. 13 times. and supposedly according to the Atlanta police at that time and it wasn't just the Atlanta police there were state cops there was a hole-like sort of squad. well, you gotta bring out the big guns for the forest protectors you know? Their claim was that Tortuguita was the name of this protester in fact I think we got a call that day after we ran the interview that someone who had worked with them in various activist things around the Atlanta area over the years. said they were a very gentle person. that it was hard to believe that they were firing on the cops. The story that the Atlanta officials have said was that the cops were you know fired upon. and then they returned fire. There have now been body cam footage released I guess it was released by Atlanta. and you can hear two things on this an Atlanta police officer says that sounds like suppressed fire. suppress fire apparently, it's my understanding, and granted I'd have not been a police officer if the fire is the way they're referred to police firing. that the cops would have fired this. they hear suppressed fire first. and then you hear one person, an Atlanta police officer, referring to the state cops man you left your own officer up to. so the idea is that the cop was fired upon by other cops. probably in mistake because they're you know in the woods and they don't know who's who. and they blamed it on Tortuguita who they shot and killed. multiple times shot. Here is that footage. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcMZUjaaXic

While discussing anti-trans legislation regarding athletes competing in sports, Tennessee Democratic State Sen. Jeff Yarbro asks Republican Sen. Joey Hensley, one of the bill's sponsor, if he spoke to any trans people about this legislation, to which he replies no. He also asks him how many trans athletes there are in the state, and Hensley doesn't know the answer.

That's gonna that's circulating throughout the country well a resurgence of those as opposed to these broad bands of trans athletes in order to continue to other them in certain high school sports because conservatives now care so much about the integrity of high school swim meets for girls. that's the number one galvanizing force, do we have any instances in our communities of trans athletes having an unfair competitive advantage in beating our girls and so they get the silver medal as opposed to the gold? No, not necessarily but we're still going to pass this anyway. I mean in Utah the Republican governor to his credit and vetoed the legislation when it first came about and I think it might have overridden his veto anyway, Bradley do you mind checking on that? Not exactly sure off the top of my head but the reason that he vetoed it was because he said there are four trans athletes in the country and only you know in my state right now and only one trans girl participating in sports so that's one person for this legislation to target them one child. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgdsQ8t2fDQ

There may be no more ‘shocking’ videos than these of Phoenix police pulling guns on a young black family in a parking lot over the alleged shoplifting of a 99-cent Barbie-like doll from a dollar store. On May 27, Dravon Ames, 22, his pregnant fiancée Iesha Harper, 24, and their daughters, Island, 4 and 1-year-old London, were held at gunpoint by several screaming Phoenix police officers. Police were responding to an anonymous caller about a possible shoplifting incident of a dollar store Barbie doll. Court documents show that the dollar store did not call for police. With guns drawn, and screaming orders rife with foul language, cops surrounded the family at their car, pulled guns, and threatened to kill them."* Read more here: https://heavy.com/news/2019/06/shocking-video-of-phoenix-cops-holding-black-family-at-gunpoint-over-1-doll/ Watch the Majority Report live M–F at 12 p.m. EST at youtube.com/samseder or listen via daily podcast at http://Majority.FM Download our FREE app: http://majorityapp.com SUPPORT the show by becoming a member: http://jointhemajorityreport.com LIKE us on Facebook: http://facebook.com/MajorityReport FOLLOW us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/MajorityFM SUBSCRIBE to us on YouTube: http://youtube.com/SamSeder ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko1dH2bb6Qk
