@John Connor. Read the nation’s headlines and you will find that this is happening in the cities and towns across the states. I certainly wouldn’t want the job and don’t feel any law enforcement should be criticized for doing it. It’s easy to sit in judgement from the comforts of our own homes. Drugs and shootings are definitely connected. If you feel blame should be placed, look to our courts and to the ones that sit behind the bench. Atmore has its supply of prisons…”hard” time should be handed down in cases such as this one. Unfortunately, more than likely, that won’t be the case.
The Alabama National guard need to intervene in Atmore. It is obvious the local police can not stop it.
20 rounds fired and he was only hit once. He was very lucky. Hope he was a speedy recovery.
