APPARENTLY DOTHAN WANTED TO BURY INFORMATION ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE QUESTIONING POLICE CHIEF STEVE PARRISH FOR SEVERAL HOURS LAST WEEK.  THE STORY WAS HELD UNTIL THE FRIDAY BEFORE EASTER.

 

 

We want to make sure this information is front and center on this Monday and not allow this important situation to be seemingly buried over a holiday weekend.  Parrish in what appeared to be a very selectively orchestrated interview/press conference discussed what is the current status of Dothan  regarding allegations of police misconduct.  He waited until the last of the conference to admit that the Department of Justice was in Dothan.  Everything said up until that point was a concerted attempt by Parrish and his handlers to soft pedal what bloggers and journalists have been saying for months about police misconduct and how they are handling it.  Remember these are the same allegations that Parrish in a previous press conference called outright lies.

Parrish admitted  during Friday’s statement that he had been questioned about the Kharon Davis debacle when he (met as he called it)  I think it was more like he was interrogated and questioned by the DOJ.  If the DOJ go to the courthouse next, they should be aware that allegedly shredders have been working overtime….nothing that a few lie detector tests wouldn’t  uncover.  Dothan could throw their own ticker tape parade with the shredded mess.

Parrish apparently was seeking to attempt to spin the story his was; “that he invited the DOJ to investigate the Dothan PD” and they would formally  invite them to investigate. Parish’s claim that the DOJ was in Dothan because of his own very special and personal invitation attempts to spin the story and prevent anyone thinking the Department of Justice was making Dothan police department and others  the target of an investigation, it was just a friendly tete au tete.

If that was the case, why did some Houston County Commissioners, Dothan Mayor Schmitdz and Kenny Glascow urgently  fly to Washington within the past 2 weeks; allegedly attempting to derail the many complaints already filed with the Department of Justice about Dothan.  Or was the Dothan contingent seeking to limit the scope and depth of a potential DOJ investigation.  Our take on that sudden Washington trip was that they took their token black man to tell the DOJ that what they had been advised regarding blacks being targeted by the Dothan Police and Judicial system, was not true, and they used Glascow to deliver that message.

Parrish’s posse have been driving throughout the state seeking out anyone who had complained about mistreatment at the hands of Dothan PD.  Rickey Stokes was even seen videoing car tags of those who had met with the NAACP  and other community activists while they were in meeting seeking to bring their stories forward.  Parrish admitted during this video interview/press conference that many of the victims they have spoken to have not cooperated with the police when questioned.  If I was a victim of police misconduct, the last people I would want to tell about the misconduct, based on the environment as it stands in Dothan, is the Dothan Police Department.

WE WONDER IF PARRISH SHOWED  PEOPLE FROM THE DOJ HIS PERSONAL CONFEDERATE FLAG IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WHILE THEY WERE “VISITING”.

Don’t know if the alleged DOJ  employees that met with Parrish are from within Alabama or out of Washington, but we would not be comfortable trusting any type of investigation originating within Alabama.  Politicians and those in positions of authority have shown they are unable to police themselves or any other members of their political affiliation.

We can only pray that an independent investigation originating out of Washington investigates alleged wrong doings of the Dothan PD and prosecutorial misconduct within the courthouse.
