Azadeh Shahshahani, Ilise Benshushan Cohen October 7, 2019'In 2019, Georgia has already recorded twenty-two fatal police shootings, The Washington Post reports. As this has unfolded, Georgia continues to pursue a “police exchange” program with the state of Israel. Run through Georgia State University, the Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange arranges for American law enforcement officials, corporate security executives, and police officers to engage in trainings, briefings, and seminars with governments including that of China, Colombia, Egypt, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and the original and primary focus of the program, Israel. For twenty-seven years, police departments in Georgia have received grants from the U.S. Department of Justice that subsidize these trainings. Since the program’s inception in 1992, it has trained at least 1,700 participants, including officers from the Atlanta Police Department.' https://progressive.org/dispatches/us-police-trained-by-israel-communities-of-color-paying-price-shahshahani-cohen-191007/ Message Thread: Linked ex Eye on Palestine For Minneapolis read Georgia - Mary June 7, 2020, 11:11 am Re: Linked ex Eye on Palestine For Minneapolis read Georgia - Mary June 7, 2020, 11:17 am There was village called Sireen - Subhi June 7, 2020, 11:51 am Re: There was village called Sireen - Mary June 7, 2020, 3:47 pm Re: There was village called Sireen - Subhi June 7, 2020, 7:45 pm Re: There was village called Sireen - Mary June 7, 2020, 10:37 pm   Searching
