‘Flailing’ Georgia attorney general condemned over charges for Cop City protesters

Republican Chris Carr accused of trying to revive bid for governor with indictment - the last gasp of a dying man'

Georgia's top law enforcement official has drawn accusations of using the weight of his office to lift his own political fortunes by bringing a new indictment against protesters of the Atlanta police training center known as Cop City.

Amid bluster about holding the line against antifa", Georgia attorney general Chris Carr announced charges against three activists late last week even as his bid to become Georgia's Republican nominee for governor limps along, with less than double-digit support in polling ahead of a 19 May primary.
