The problem with Cop City is not that it supports law-enforcement.
The problem with Cop City is that it separates law-enforcement from the rest of the community in a way that will foster an “us versus them” attitude. Law enforcement should always be “of” the community.
The problem with Cop City is that it would be situated in such away as to be almost impossible to monitor by private citizens.
The problem with Cop City is that it’s a centralized seat of power in the hands of law enforcement that is already too militarized and slipping out of the control of those it is meant to serve.
Even now - and it hasn’t even been built yet - Cop City is backed by forces abusing the rights of our people to protest it.
Cop City represents the worst kind of marriage of corporate and governmental power, a prelude to fascism and the template for a police state. In the wrong hands it would be a training center for urban warfare against our own people.
Cop Cities do not belong in a free society. They do not belong in the United States of America.
I fully support the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center because our law enforcement and first responders deserve the best training we can provide so they can keep themselves and the communities they serve safe.
Training our police officers, firefighters, and first responders should not be controversial - or political.
Instead of hiding behind ballot processes or legal questions for a referendum, I hope elected leaders of both parties from across our state will voice their unequivocal support for the training center to enhance public safety in our capital city and our state for every Georgian we serve.

Nixon knew drugs wasn't "public enemy #1" when he started the Drug War.
It's done more to exacerbate than to solve the problem, including that almost half of federal prisoners are non-violent drug offenders.
Enough. Time for a new beginning. 3/3

For a fraction of the $100B we spend every year on the failed Drug War, we can help establish a national network of recovery options.
We need to move from criminalization to seeing addiction as a health issue. We don't need a Drug czar; we need a Recovery czar. 2/3

A major way to help defeat the drug cartels is to dry up their market.
End the War on Drugs.
Decriminalize, then legalize and regulate. 1/3

Shut the border down? How do you suggest doing that? With a wall? With soldiers? Is that what you’re 100% with?

How do you plan to “shut the border down?” Do you think it’s a light switch? The Southern border is almost 2,000 miles. Do you see a wall? A wall of soldiers? What? (And yes, I listened to him.)

The abuses of the drug cartels aren’t only at the border. The even worse violence is what the migrants are trying to escape to begin with! The last thing we should do is cut off all means of escape entirely.
Obviously we need more legal and orderly means of entry and asylum - a Congressional failure to achieve over decades.
Also, if we’re to seriously start defeating the drug cartels we should begin by ending the Drug War.

NO. Absolutely. Not.
.@RobertKennedyJr says it is time to shut down the border.
He visited & saw the abuses of the cartel firsthand.
Kennedy wants to provide free, federal ID cards to Americans.
"If you say you can't get a job without federal ID, the border is going to shut down overnight."
