Does the city of Atlanta really know Mayor Andre Dickens?
(Dickens allegedly has an online Instagram exchange with opponent of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center [aka Cop City] declaring the city knows him)

For the past couple of years, there has been a public war within the city of Atlanta about the establishment of a public safety training center that has grown to become known as "Cop City."

With so much negative publicity surrounding police officers throughout the country and here in metro Atlanta involving police brutality, harassment, racism and more. Understandably, there have been so many drawbacks from opponents.

Opponents argue that Andre Mayor Dickens did not seek the approval of the local community to build the training grounds. The destruction of the local forest to build the training grounds is a perfect example of environmental racism.

Along with those drawback there have been several protests, destruction, and vandalism of the training grounds, but is the violent resistance of the training grounds really helping the argument of the opponents? Some say that their actions are proving why such a training grounds is needed, to help prepare and properly train law enforcement for such activities.

It has been a year since opponents of Cop City had managed to organize and collect over 100,000 signatures demanding a referendum to allow the public to decide if the training grounds should be built, not just the city council. But yet, Dickens and the Atlanta City Council have not taken the time to sit and speak with opponents about their concerns nor the support of over 100,000 supporters of the referendum

Actress and Macon-based supporter of the referendum, , posted on Instagram about the first anniversary of collecting over 100,000 signatures. She also tagged Mayor Andre Dickens and he allegedly responded with:
