A photograph of protesters detained outside of Council Member Natalyn Archibong’s residence the night of Sept. 8. Protesters were gathered outside holding signs that read “No Cop Academy” while Archibong and the rest of Atlanta City Council were tuned into the night’s virtual meeting deliberating a ground lease to be issued with Atlanta Police Foundation. The lease agreement, which effectively sells massive acreage of city-owned land of the South River Forest and Old Atlanta Prison Farm, was passed in council in a 10-4 vote.
