Alabama town votes to get rid of local police force due to racism

[butters]

a small town of some 2,000 residents decided enough was enough when racist text sharing among their cops came to light. They voted to get shot of them and contract instead with nearby Shelby for coverage in the meantime, till a better crop of cops can be created for their town.

"Sheriff John Samaniego stands with the City of Vincent in providing emergency law enforcement related services for the citizens during this time."

The racist comment shared on text did not surprise Vincent residents, said Kenneth Dukes, president of the NAACP Shelby County branch, who credited public pressure for the council action.

"This has happened before, they've had this kind of attitude and conduct that's been displayed before (by police)," Dukes said Friday. "A lot of citizens were just fed up and came together in strong numbers."

Good, see how that works out for them.

See, here's the thing. Not sure how it works in 'Bama, but in most states, officers are trained and certified by a state agency and can be hired on anywhere in the state. Cutting the department in one place just allows the officers to apply somewhere else. And since training an officer is so expensive, many departments will jump at the chance to hire a trained, certified officer, even those with baggage.

Yep...that, in combination to lack of records of discipline shared across agencies, is why assholes continue to be cops.

one can only hope something like this would encourage locals to step up and become trained officers for their own town

I know in Cincinnati after the riots, there was a huge out reach of cops to the community which absolutely led to many in the community joining the force. And by no means am I saying the crime problem was fixed or that racism was eliminated on the force...but it was huge towards healing and moving forward

i know it takes time to train people, and racism in a force will turn some off and attract others... in this case, with the racists gone, just maybe people will do what's needed. They kind of only have themselves to blame if they don't help rectify the problem.

And the Unions are hell bent against sharing of those records. They've fought tooth and nail against some proposed laws allowing it and have succeeded in getting some stopped. There needs to be a national database of disciplined officers.

and when they're the victims of robbery, assault, rape, home invasions and every other crime, I'm sure they'll rethink this....too bad people will get hurt first.

Maybe they can sue the DNC for putting this idiocy in people's heads.

I would have given anything for those cops in DC to have walked away on 1/6 and leave them to get what they deserve.

They got rid of a corrupt police force that refused to address corruption and is now relying on a neighborojg police force in the interim until they reform their police hiring practices.

Your lack of comprehension has no bearing on their community.

As a whole, getting rid of assholes helps solve asshole problems

You know, even if that town is Mayberry and everyone knows everyone and there's no real bad element...this story made the news, bad folks will travel to a defenseless place.

See I think like that, having been raised in a shithole and all. You elitist entitled leftists have no clue of reality because you've all had it soft and easy. "This country is oppressive, typed from your $1200 phone from mommy's house."

No clue about real life whatsoever.

The cops were literally the problem. They got rid of them and are getting better ones.

Again, whether that's your real life is irrelevant to their local decisions to make their community better.

they aren't at the whim of crime any more than they were before... probably less, given the racism of the ex force. the community's needs are being met by a more professional force in the interim.

and that makes you a disgraceful excuse for a person.

Buford T. Butters for Police Chief!

Good, see how that works out for them.

I knew you'd be one of the first to reply to a thread about white racists.

Aww, some shithead is upset that racists lost their jobs. Welcome to the new world, asshole.

 

[Dribble]

Watch closely. Crime will decrease

 

[LittleDixie]

Yeah, police can be scumfucks just like everyone else. The difference is that if Jo Bob the lawn guy is a racist, he can't ruin people's lives and put them in cages.

What the defunders of the police fail to envision is what this country would look like if individual citizens are enforced to enforce the law themselves.

Which they aren't doing so.

A town of 2,000 had one officer, an Asst. Chief and a Chief.


Almost sound like a budgetary move.

sounds like they need a few more police... surely a town of 2,000 could use at least 10 cops?

Your hate & ignorance are staggering.
Since "people" (and I use that term extremely loosely) like you prefer regression, I'll meet you in the middle. How about we reinstate insane asylums? Because your crazy ass should be the first patient.

Ooo wee! Just insane in the membrane. The dichotomy of your victim mindset and misplaced self righteousness has clearly caused you to pull your bootstraps up to the point of cutting off vital circulation. SIR-COOL-LAY-SHUN. It's a medical term and may not make sense to you right now.

Alas, you read the same post as everyone else but somehow linked it to January 6th & incorrectly concluded that the AL town will have zero police coverage.

I think I'm most entertained by how delusional "people" like you manage to get yourselves so emotionally worked up in comments sections. Thank you for being the baboon that I needed to laugh at.
