It’s obvious that the DOJ doesn’t care, or they would have protected you against Chevron, New York, and the supreme court. They are bought and paid for like everybody else. We could potentially get our country back if we had a national strike, and I’m all for it. They murdered that guy, simple as that.

Mr. Donziger, you continue to advocate for justice at great personal cost to you and your family. We thank you.

For what it's worth, I am fighting back in the courts myself, inspired by people like you and Manuel Teran. The veil of democracy is gone but we must continue to fight back against the tyranny of the corporate state. Dark days are here as we watch the empires crumble but there is hope through removing ourselves from the global machinery of consumption.

How? Build local community where you can, buy from small businesses in your town, grow local foods and get involved in local politics. Stop listening to the mainstream media that wants you to hate or fear your neighbor.

There is no time left to stand idly by. ✊

The masks are off in more ways than one now. The police don't even try that hard to cover up their murder of an innocent environmentalist. I guess they feel that we are too weak to do anything about it. Let's show them differently! Continue protesting, speaking out, revealing the hypocrisy of the police, government and corporations. Thank you for keeping on top of this story, Steven.

Your continued focus on Justice and rights is appreciated by many. Your reporting contains information that is not reported by mainstream media. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do.

The cover-up is deep. How do we figure out how investigators managed to produce:

-- Ballistics report on the bullet pulled from the officer's stomach matches the gun found next to Mr. Teran's body

-- Registration on the "matched" gun lists Mr. Teran as the owner

No visible gunpowder on Teran's hands doesn't mean they didn't shoot. That's why gunshot residue kits exist. The only GSR kit performed on Teran revealed substantial GSR on their hands. No gunpowder + GSR being found are not contradictory.

I agree, there should be transparency and all footage and body cams should be made available to the public. The police should justify their actions.

It is also apparent to me that the "climate activist" was not acting in good faith, and not "protesting" lawfully.

That said, I have little confidence in the GA DOJ, or the US Attorney General either for that matter. Kemp and Raffensberger are corrupt and both were involved in altering the election results in GA in 2020. And in DC, Garland and the FBI still have not indicted Hunter Biden on any of the dozens of crimes he committed that are documented on his laptop.

Clearly there is a two-tiered system of justice.

What do you mean, Teran was not acting in good faith? And who cares if they broke laws while protesting? Laws that are unjust (for example those that allow the destruction of nature) can be broken with a clean conscience.
