Oh right! This guy has an R next to his name...

showing up at the hospital and apologizing to the victim? What a coward.

It is not a southern town. The area is run on brain power. Lots of high tech. Cops are not as bad as most places.

You just do not fuck with the help - they are all very smart.

He is a very liberal person and I think that the whole town is a blue oasis in a red state.

NASA and the Army Missile Command imported many tens of thousands of smart people. Lots of technology spinoffs. Huntsville is like no other place I have ever lived. Not really liberal as much as very tolerant.

I do not know Alabama well. We stayed the night there many years ago while driving up north but my perception is that it is not too plentiful in that state. So I think that Huntsville would be a good choice if I had to live there. My friend works at NASA and I believe that the employees there are from all over the country.

a bit over an hour from Huntsville, and now living in NC, I can attest to Huntsville's tolerance and as Alabama goes, "liberal" streak. Local pols are of the "southern conservative democrat" strain, the Sam Nunn, Fritz Hollings, Phil Bredesen, Lawton Childs wing of the party. In a way, Huntsville is the closest thing to liberal southern paradise outside of Buncombe County NC.

I am surprised that this happened in Madison, but it looks like they have made an attempt to address the matter, which could happen in any county in Alabama and not handled the same way.

Especially of minorities are blue. And this is a state official , not local. And represents mostly red state.

We have to give credit for doing the right thing.

done this to an american black, all this would HAVE NEVER happened. In fact that cop would be a hero in that town and would probably have a real fat bank account growing.

So you can donate to his defense fund.
