Warning about potential law enforcement bias, the U.S. Justice Department filed a statement of interest on Tuesday, July 26, 2022, supporting IJ's class action lawsuit, challenging the constitutionality of Brookside, Alabama’s profit-driven policing practices. “Courts, prosecutors and police should be driven by justice-not revenue,” wrote the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department in its statement to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, calling on the court to reject Brookside’s motion to dismiss IJ’s lawsuit against the town’s municipal judge, prosecutor and police department.

Please pardon my French, but: NO SHIT. Gee, I can't seem to locate the problem with said system. Thank you IJ, so, so much.

@Institute for justice...how can I get hold of you, it's urgent. I'm in Texas where there is a person I know of whom has been fighting a case for 4yrs and the state, along with his attorney have left him broke, both of his funds and his health based solely on hearsay. They closed the case by then re-instating the same case by adding a word. Leaving him to do it all over again, they arrested him last week and he PR bonded out. He's been alone in this, he doesn't speak english and I feel he's been taken advantage of by the prosecutor and his attorney whom in all 4yrs has never sat down to counsel with about the case against him even despite going to his office to speak with him. He needs help and I'm begging for your knowledgeable assistance. They want him to accept a plea that strips him of his freedom and his US residence status. Please, I pray with All my heart that you'll get back with me througj our Almighty Father's Will, that His justice be done. I know He has angels in All matters. They gave him 10 days to accept a plea in which he states guilt and he says he doesn't want to lie saying he did such an heinous crime.

My family is from Brookside . I go there every week. It was actually worse than this video shows. These are only the people that sued the police department There are hundreds of people who were brutalized by the police that are too scared to come forward. I know many of them. I was harrassed by them twice. The cops that i talked to were the most immature unprofessional people ive ever talked to . The police chief resigned right before these lawsuits came out and was living in FLorida working as a security guard for a friends business. He himself got arrested when a Florida cop pulled him over for speeding . He flash his old Brookside police chief badge and they arrested him for impersonating a police officer. A news reporter tried to interview him that found him in Florida and he literally ran away from the cameras and tried to hide . The mayor during this time passed away. The new mayor was a crooked little worm and he got voted out recently The Judge got disbarred from The State of Alabama and cant practice law. This was from other corruption not related to the crimes he committed in Brookside. The entire police department quit for fear of lawsuits and went to other areas of the state The second in command of the police department a LT got arrested for sexually harrassing a woman in a bar .They put in a new police chief who was in charge of training the Birmingham police department which is much bigger and professional and only have about 4 cops now .

Should be subject to far more scrutiny and consequences when abused. And finally, after all of those things. Abolish and outlaw civil asset forfeiture on the basis of the immense conflict of intererst that obviousl goes along with it. And finally, after alll of the other reforms and after 95% of the currently existing police force has been disqualified and fired as a result of those prior mentioned reforms--and finally, at that point then and only then, after all of theother reforms you could possibly do to cull the bad ones from the good, finally at that point, then and only then, do you very significantly increase the pay across the board for the 5% or so of the currently existing police force that would survive such scrutiny and changes. That way you give the few truly, really good ones the incentive and means toto stay truly good ones and you for those who have the potential and the desire to become one of the truly good ones in the future you perovide them witht he means and incentive to actually act on that desire and fulfill that potential.

It's disgusting how little respect cops get and how people don't understand how dangerous this job is and how dangerous or easy it is to turn something simple into something bigger than it is especially the way the media does things today. We wonder why there's so much criminal activity more than ever in our society and it's because of people demonizing police and saying the criminal is the innocent one I want the ice cream as for people like these people that got pulled over for things that we disagree upon with police whether it be a blinker or any traffic violation that's what court is for that's when you tell the court this officer acted inappropriate and the Court decides if he did or didn't or she did or didn't but teaching the youth today to not respect cops that cops are just out for them because of their color is just straight foolishness because I'll tell you what the media doesn't show what about all the white and Hispanics or other races in this town or any other town that get pulled over for the same thing but guess what it doesn't make the news so they gather what they believe people will get upset about and they make a narrative and cross their fingers they can get people to start hating each other and hating police and they can't say as a media they don't do that because if you go to any channel they constantly bash police

Threatened to take my son away from me, threatened me with a 30 to life sentence. Prayers

That whole station should be on the AUCTION BLOCK. The cops should never be allowed to work in law enforcement ever.

The military-esque costumes, the hummer type vehicles, face covers, body armor covered with firearm magazines ... this is not the look of law enforcement, this is the look of a military presence. The intent is to intimidate the citizenry. They are not our friends, they are a hostile force. They are there to escalate and arrest. Minimize all contact you have with police. The longer you engage with cops the more likely you will wind up getting yelled at, manhandled, tased, kicked, slammed to the ground, stomped, pepper sprayed, cuffed, arrested or shot. So don't answer questions. Don't say anything. Ask for a lawyer and always ... always record encounters with law enforcement, even if it's just audio.

It seems some of these municipalities are so small that they are barely financially viable. The only way they stay afloat is to use the police to prey on the residents with fines.

Dennis Ray McCoy, 53, of Dora, was sentenced Friday by Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Tommy Nail to five-year split sentences with 30 days to serve on the charges of tampering with a state judicial computer, obtaining criminal records under false pretenses and use of his office for personal gain.
