    Nice spin on racism. The rivers and streams south of the fall line are black water. The flooding in Atlanta is dye to over-developement of the region, not a police training center. Many major cities have the same problems with flooding during excessive rain.

    Wow. Now I understand why this went down here in ATL. This is bothersome. How can we prevent this?

    So people said they want the police to get more training… than complain when the police try to get training?

    I mean we have school shootings on the rise and these Forest Defenders are no more than eco terrorists.

    I live in Houston. Areas with a lot of tree coverage really do flood less.

    The lightweight, jokey reporting is juvenile and takes away from the seriousness of the matter. This is exactly what the people who want to build this warfare training center

    The militarization of the police has been going on for years. Like our own military which even 10 NATO countries budget combined doesn’t equal ours, we see an increase in funding, not defunding. The recent military budget that just past, congress gave the military actually more money then they asked for! Even though in America, we have more guns than citizens, most Americans don’t own a gun (the ones that do own multiple). I feel less safe when I see the police with heavy military gear.

    In a City Council where 11/16 are minority members and a police force that’s almost half black, the leftists multimillionaires at The Daily Show wanna sell to the public that it’s these criminals who somehow represent the voice of the people in Atlanta. Laughable.
