A slain protester who opposed construction of a vast law enforcement training center near Atlanta dubbed 'Cop City' by opponents was shot at least 57 times during a police confrontation, autopsy says.

The wounds suffered by protester Manuel Paez Teran, 26, were so extensive that a loose round"fell from the left sleeve of one of the shirts" as coroners were undressing the body for examination, according to the DeKalb County Medical Examiner.

Relatives and friends have insisted that Tortuguita had their hands raised and was no threat to police. A spokesperson for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said Thursday that state authorities have completed their probe and referred all questions to the prosecutor appointed to the case, Mountain Judicial Circuit DA George Christian.

The medical examiner listed the protester's cause of death as"multiple gunshot wounds" and manner of death a"homicide." Coroners regularly use the word"homicide" as simply meaning death at the hands of another and not as a criminal law term for wrongdoing.

FAFO World Champion.

So very sad.

The terrorist shot a Georgia state trooper.

NBC is garbage

Comply. Oh wait, that's only when the liberal progressives push their BS on us. See what happens when you indoctrinate children? They believe they are above the law.

Then perhaps those antifa, sorry, I meant protesters should not have been storming the compound in the first place. If they didn't want to get shot they shouldn't have pointed their guns at police.

Sure raises questions! How do get shot 57 times before you hit the ground? Likely can't so someone/s shot him while on the ground! Why?

Atlanta PD need some more time at the range.

isn't this that clown who shot at the police and then got folded?

It’s just bait now. Every day more bait.

NBC news is just another example of why people are losing trust in legacy mainstream media outlets. That’s why Buzzfeed news is shutting down. Manipulative lies & propaganda

7 paragraphs before you find out this Antifa terrorist shot a cop

I don’t care if it is one or 100.

When you shoot at a group of cops what do you expect?

The left: 1. Need serious gun reform 2. Only police need guns 3. Defund the police 🤦‍♂️
