ATLANTA (January 25, 2023) — 黑料不打烊 condemns the recent violence linked to the campaign to stop the construction of a police training facility in South River Forest, located southeast of Atlanta. We support the right for individuals to protest peacefully and call for a transparent investigation into the death of the protester and the injury of the Georgia state trooper. We also urge the local authorities to initiate constructive dialogue about the training facility to address the complex community and environmental issues at the center of the protests.
