Jim Casey live on the scene to preserve historic Huntsville in the making as Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle leads a pack of bikers on a tour in downtown Huntsville.
Ground breaking ceremonies are over and the heavy equipment is rolling on the construction site for Huntsville’s new Municipal building. No word yet as to whether a sky bridge will connect the two sides of Big Spring Park.
It’s time for reform that includes a long hard look at the legitimacy of department policy, thorough vetting during hiring, reorganized training, legitimate oversight of department management, and a genuinely independent review board. It’s time Mr. Battle, do your job.
Everyone knows, former or should be, Huntsville Police Officer Billy Ben Darby has been convicted of murder in the wrongful death of Jeffrey Parker. Great, a bad cop has met with the justice he deserves. So, what’s the problem?
Madison County District Attorney Rob Broussard is to be commended for seeing the wrongful death of Jeffrey Parker and for holding William Darby accountable.
A monumental day in Huntsville with two major happenings at Maple Hill Cemetery. Huntsville’s Confederate Monument has a new home and Huntsville First Lady Eula Battle has been laid to to rest.
Tommy Battle’s statements reek of segregation, classicism and aristocratic authoritarianism. The law enforcement statements were laced with the same old good old boy facade of shucks we did what had to be done.
Posted: 7:15 p.m. – These were the scenes in downtown Huntsville just a few minutes ago. The George Floyd protest organized by an Oakwood University student drew a large crowd, perhaps as many as 2000.
Just minutes ago this Lunar Rover recreated by Polaris rolled through the streets of Huntsville beginning from the front porch of the Von Braun Civic Center and heading for the court house square !!!
Madison County Circuit Court Judge Donna Pate today has denied Huntsville Police Officer William Darby’s request for immunity in the shooting death of suicidal Jeffrey Parker in April of 2018.
What the hell? Seems I’m feeling a little bit quippish today, but no really, that’s not punny. The judge is furious !!! Gag !
As a native Alabamian, I am sick and tired of the perpetuation of stupidity that the damn monument represents. If you wish to honor your relative dead for more than 150 years, let it be done in Maple Hill cemetery, where this particular monument belongs.
