A federal judge has dismissed a civil rights lawsuit filed by the parents of an environmental activist who was killed while protesting the construction of an Atlanta-area police and firefighter training center that critics dubbed “Cop City.”.

Georgia state troopers who shot and killed an environmental activist at the site of a planned police and firefighter training center near Atlanta will not be charged.

A slain protester's family says an environmental activist in Georgia was sitting cross-legged with their hands in the air when they were fatally shot by a state trooper.
