    If you prefer your answer without disinformation:

    Cop City is the name of The Atlanta Public Safety Training Center. The center is planned to be used as a training campus for police and fire services and was expected to open at the end of 2023. Planned facilities include classrooms, a burn building, a mock city (including apartments, a bar/nightclub, and a school), and a shooting range.

    None of Biden’s $334M funding is going to Cop City.

      How incredibly ill informed to assume Atlanta is the only one. There are nearly 100 going up around the country. All being trained by the IDF.

        Do you have a source so I can read more about it? I’m not finding anything in my searches.

        Another commenter pointed out the one going up in PA, and I read an article on it. It’s just as concerning as the one in Atlanta, but there was no mention of the IDF in either facility.
