Not all police abuse is physical, as the citizens of Brookside, Alabama have discovered. This small town, 15 miles northwest of Birmingham, is home to 1,253 people. It once had a small police force to match. Then in 2018, the town brought in Mike Jones as its new police chief. At the time of his hiring, Jones was the only full-time cop. But he rapidly expanded the force. In a deposition last August, he admitted he had hired eight additional full-time cops and several part-timers. And the town has just announced it has hired six more officers.
This is nuts. No #RollTide for me, thank you Pitt
