Denis Bouanga's late goal helps LAFC salvage draw with Fire
BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. — Denis Bouanga scored on a penalty kick in the 81st minute to rally LAFC to a 2-2 draw with the Chicago Fire at SeatGeek Stadium on Saturday night. Bouanga notched his 14th goal of the season for LAFC (10-6-7) after subbing in for Mathieu Choinière in the 61st minute. The PK was awarded after Son Heung-Min — in his debut with the club — was fouled by defender Carlos Terán. Chicago (10-9-6) grabbed a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute on Terán's first goal this season. Philip Zinckernagel collected an assist on the score. Terán has totaled one goal in five straight campaigns. LAFC pulled even in the 19th minute on a goal by defender Ryan Hollingshead — his second. Nineteen-year-old midfielder David Martínez picked up his first assist this season after notching two in 17 appearances last year. The Fire took a 2-1 lead in the 70th minute on a goal by Jonathan Bamba — his fourth in his first season in the league. Zinckernagel snagged another assist — his 13th — and Brian Gutiérrez earned his second. It was the first of three straight home matches in Bridgeview for the Fire whose home these days is Soldier Field. Chicago is 102-55-72 in regular-season play at SeatGeek. Chris Brady saved four shots for Chicago. Hugo Lloris totaled one save for LAFC. Chicago began the day in possession of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference as it tries to make the postseason for the first time since 2017. LAFC entered the day sixth in the Western Conference, but the club has at least two matches in hand on all five teams above it.

Flag-raising ceremony at the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center
The Brief The Atlanta Public Safety Training Center aims to modernize training for police and fire departments, fostering collaboration and improving emergency response. The facility has faced significant controversy, including protests and environmental concerns, with critics dubbing it "Cop City." Despite opposition, the Atlanta City Council approved additional funding, emphasizing the center's role in enhancing public safety and community relations. ATLANTA - The Atlanta Police Department and Atlanta Fire Rescue Department raised the American flag together last week in a ceremony marking a major milestone at the new Atlanta Public Safety Training Center. SEE FULL COVERAGE OF THE ATLANTA PUBLIC SAFETY TRAINING CENTER What they're saying The event was held to celebrate the opening of the controversial facility and signal a new era of joint training and collaboration between the city's public safety agencies. Officials called the ceremony a symbol of "our commitment to excellence, unity, and preparedness in public service." The joint event also "symbolizes our readiness to elevate training and collaboration across Atlanta's public safety teams," the departments said in a joint statement. The new training center, backed by city leaders and law enforcement officials, has drawn national attention and months of protests. But police and fire department leaders say the facility is critical to improving emergency response and fostering coordination between agencies. The backstory The Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, a $90 million facility aimed at modernizing training grounds for the city's police and fire departments, is set to open in the coming weeks. Approved by the Atlanta City Council in September 2021, the center has been a source of controversy and debate since its inception. City officials have emphasized the need for the 85-acre campus, which is intended to replace outdated facilities and bolster efforts in recruiting and retaining public safety personnel. They have highlighted plans to incorporate progressive training methodologies and maintain surrounding green spaces. However, the project has faced persistent opposition from critics who refer to it as "Cop City." Environmental concerns have been raised due to the construction site's location within a forested area in southeast Atlanta. Activists argue that the development could lead to significant ecological damage and adversely affect local communities. Timeline The controversy surrounding the center intensified with several incidents. In December 2022, authorities arrested multiple protesters at the site, charging them with domestic terrorism. Officials alleged that these individuals were part of a coordinated effort to halt construction through unlawful means. In January 2023, a confrontation between law enforcement and activists resulted in the fatal shooting of 26-year-old protester Manuel Esteban Paez Terán. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation stated that Terán fired upon officers first, a claim contested by fellow activists and Terán's family. Further unrest occurred in March 2023 when a group of masked individuals allegedly attacked the construction site, setting equipment ablaze and confronting police officers. Subsequently, 23 people were arrested and charged with domestic terrorism. Despite extensive public commentary and hours of testimony from residents, the Atlanta City Council approved an additional $31 million in funding for the project in June 2023. The majority of residents who testified opposed the facility's construction. By December 2024, city officials provided media tours of the nearly completed facility, showcasing its state-of-the-art resources designed for comprehensive training of first responders. They reiterated the center's role in enhancing public safety and community relations.
