Georgia Prosecutor Declares No Charges to be Brought Against State Troopers in Fatal Shooting of Environmental Activist Protesting Cop City.

Georgia prosecutor Christian announced Friday that no criminal charges will be brought against the state troopers who fatally shot environmental activist Manuel Teran while protesting the planned construction of a police training center. Christian concluded that the use of deadly force was "objectively reasonable" due to reports of gunfire and Teran being armed. Activists and civil rights groups have called for an independent investigation, arguing that the troopers' use of deadly force was excessive and unnecessary.
