    The guy injecting billions to hire more cops while funding nearly 100 cop cities around the country is in no position to talk about other presidents. Marginalized communities are still feeling the impact of his crime bill.

    The public demanded accountability and retraining for police officers and Biden’s solution has been to increase their funding. Increase the numbers of police officers on the streets and do absolutely nothing that was demanded of him from the public. In the meantime, deaths occurred at the hands of police have been increasing every year since George Floyd

          If you prefer your answer without disinformation:

          Cop City is the name of The Atlanta Public Safety Training Center. The center is planned to be used as a training campus for police and fire services and was expected to open at the end of 2023. Planned facilities include classrooms, a burn building, a mock city (including apartments, a bar/nightclub, and a school), and a shooting range.

          None of Biden’s $334M funding is going to Cop City.

              If you’re referring to the map on isyourlifebetter.net/cop-cities-usa/ then I’d recommend using its interactive features to look at the “cop cities” they link as having been built. Most of them are deescalation training facilities or just new police departments, not cop playgrounds.

              The map on that website makes its way around to incite reaction, often without linking the website itself. Cop City in Atlanta, however, is real and very concerning.

                  I didn’t see that one until you pointed it out. You’re right. That’s just as concerning as the one in Atlanta.

                  There’s no reason to throw a partisan wedge. I’m just interested in learning the truth, and there’s a lot of misinformation out there. Personally, I think police should focus on deescalation training and maximizing the use of less-lethal weapons over playing in shooting galleries.

                    well i want the abolition of prisons and police and private property, and my opposition to these facilities has nothing to do with the fact that democrats are supporting them. my opposition to democrats comes, at least partially, from that fact.

            How incredibly ill informed to assume Atlanta is the only one. There are nearly 100 going up around the country. All being trained by the IDF.

              Do you have a source so I can read more about it? I’m not finding anything in my searches.

              Another commenter pointed out the one going up in PA, and I read an article on it. It’s just as concerning as the one in Atlanta, but there was no mention of the IDF in either facility.
