This comes after a judge granted bond for 3 people accused of money laundering tied to attacks on the public safety training center.

The group Stop Cop City says the trio is known for bailing out protesters. They are accused of funding violent attacks at Atlanta’s future Public Safety Training Center.

The judge said Friday he didn’t think the allegations were serious enough for the three to remain in jail before their trial begins.
