DeKalb County DA Quits Atlanta "Cop City" Cases; AG Will Prosecute

The DeKalb County District Attorney withdrew from criminal cases related to protests over a proposed Atlanta police training facility and training center over disagreements with the Georgia Attorney General.
The Attorney General will now handle more than 40 additional cases connected to protests against the facility's construction.
Over 40 people have been charged with domestic terrorism in the past 7 months in connection with violent protests over the facility.
City officials argued the new facility would replace inadequate existing ones, but protesters said it would worsen environmental damage and aid militarized policing.
The Atlanta City Council approved $31 million for the project despite protests, and the Atlanta Police Foundation pledged the remaining funds.
