Third man arrested after eight officers assaulted in Epping on Thursday, with police on high alert for new protest
Police have warned they are seeing “inflammatory” comments online, as a third man was arrested over violent clashes outside a hotel housing asylum seekers in Essex.
The latest arrest came after eight officers were assaulted on Thursday and police vehicles were smashed after groups of men broke away from an earlier peaceful protest outside the hotel in Epping.
Atlanta Police Foundation forced to disclose a year after a lawsuit, and could have implications for other cities
More than a year after a digital news outlet and a research group sued the Atlanta Police Foundation for allegedly violating Georgia’s open records law, the foundation has sent plaintiffs nearly 300 pages of records linked to its role as the driving force behind the police training center known as “Cop City”.
The outcome “opens the door to what we want; it’s a guide stone for getting records from police foundations, so they can’t be a black box”, said Matt Scott, executive director of Atlanta Community Press Collective (ACPC), an Atlanta-based digital news outlet and one of two plaintiffs in the case.
