   We are on the ground in #Atlanta, #Georgia for a rally in response to the police killing of Manuel Teran aka Tort and Tortuguita on Wednesday morning.

   The crowd of 150+ is in a commercial area downtown chanting "stop cop city" and "fund people's needs, not cop city."

     In Atlanta, "Lil Turtle" was spray painted on a kiosk sign with an anarchist "A" symbol. Also the business front that the Atlanta Police Foundation is based out of was painted with "Fuck Cop City."

     In Mpls a sign is held reading, "Our revenge will be a world with no police and no prisons." And a Bank of America branch was spray painted on with messages to stop 'Cop City' and about the bank's funding of the police training facility.

     The crowd in Mpls carrying banners and signs in support of Tortuguita/Tort and of the movement to #StopCopCity and of the #BlackLivesMatter movement. The crowd is now dispersed.

     Atlanta Police rushed the crowd, arresting at least one person by tackling them to the ground.

     The Mpls crowd stopped in front of Wince Way where Winston Smith was killed to pay respects to him and Deona Marie. Marie was killed by Nicholas David Kraus when he drove his vehicle into her when she was protesting in response to Smith's killing by police.

     Folks in Mpls calling for more bail money for forest defenders in jail in Atlanta and for more people to pick up the mutual aid efforts that Tort did.

     One Atlanta Police vehicle got its driver's side window smashed and another one was set on fire.

     Nearly 100 people gather in downtown Minneapolis for Tort. One sign reads, "Trees gives us life, police take it" and one banner reads, "We fight like hell for the dead and living. Stop Cop City."
