An independent autopsy showed Manuel Teran’s hands were raised when the activist was fatally shot in January near the site of the planned public safety training center, attorneys for the family said.

Decatur-based civil rights attorneys Brian Spears and Jeff Filipovits plan to have a Monday morning news conference to discuss the autopsy and a lawsuit the family filed this week against the City of Atlanta under the Georgia Open Records Act. According to a release, the lawsuit was filed after the city had pledged to continue to produce additional video evidence until the Georgia Bureau of Investigation intervened and blocked more videos from being released.

“The GBI’s interference left the family with no choice but to file a lawsuit against the City of Atlanta,” the release states.

According to release, an autopsy commissioned by the family showed Teran’s hands were raised and was facing multiple individuals who were firing.

Somebody needs to work on the Us vs Them mentality. Cops lives are valuable, citizens, not so much...
