Dozens of “militant anarchists” and “eco-activists” opposed to the construction of a police training center critics call “Cop City” have been indicted on racketeering charges, Georgia’s state attorney general announced Tuesday.
The sweeping indictment — made public Tuesday after it was handed up by a grand jury last week — accused 61 members of a group called “Defend the Atlanta Forest” of illegally occupying the training site while committing vandalism and violence.
GOP Attorney General Chris Carr slammed the defendants during a news conference Tuesday.
