Chris Carr on Monday reportedly defended the decision to bring domestic terrorism charges against those protesting the construction of a $90 million police and fire training facility.
"We’ve been talking for the last two years in particular, and then [the Memphis police death of Tyre Nichols] brought it back up, about well-trained law enforcement, well-trained first responders, well-trained firefighters as well," Carr, a Republican, told the Journal-Constitution."And that’s what this facility is about."
