Atlanta City Council meeting disrupted by 'Cop City' protesters demanding a public vote.

During an Atlanta City Council meeting, protesters opposing the $90 million Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, dubbed 'Cop City,' disrupted proceedings by throwing ping pong balls and demanding a public vote. They argue the facility, intended to improve police training, could lead to increased militarization and is poorly located. Despite over 100,000 signatures for a referendum, city leaders remain committed to the project's completion by year-end.
