Hasn’t Butler been mayor forever?
Don’t know but she’s a strong Cochran supporter. Nothing wrong with that but she allowed her town and its police department to be used as a tool in rogue fashion by Cochran and his attorney.
Rather than initiate an investigation being careful to treat people as innocent until proven guilty, she had them launch a brutal assault against people, one of whom was completely innocent and not even involved and who was paraded around as an enemy of the state of the highest order, and who was shown in Cochran ads in cuffs as a felon. The result was this man, a well-respected lawyer, Christian, family man and pillar of his community, lost his standing and his livelihood and was found dead of a gun wound.
Not only that, this man did not even reside in the town of Madison where Mayor Butler’s police had so brutally mistreated him. He resided in the town of Ridgeland. And, the Madison PD on the day of his death, four of their officers went outside the limits of the town of Madison, to ‘confirm’ he was dead. They had no business doing that as the investigation jurisdiction was with the Ridgeland PD.
