HUNDREDS OF CASES PROSECUTED WITH PLANTED EVIDENCE, MANY WRONGLY CONVICTED STILL IN PRISON

The Alabama Justice Project has obtained documents that reveal a Dothan Police Department’s Internal Affairs investigation was covered up by the district attorney. A group of up to a dozen police officers on a specialized narcotics team were found to have planted drugs and weapons on young black men for years. They were supervised at the time by Lt. Steve Parrish, current Dothan Police Chief, and Sgt. Andy Hughes, current Asst. Director of Homeland Security for the State of Alabama. All of the officers reportedly were members of a Neoconfederate organization that the Southern Poverty Law Center labels “racial extremists.” The group has advocated for blacks to return to Africa, published that the civil rights movement is really a Jewish conspiracy, and that blacks have lower IQ’s . Both Parrish and Hughes held leadership positions in the group and are pictured above holding a confederate battle flag at one of the club’s secret meetings.

The documents shared reveal that the internal affairs investigation was covered up to protect the aforementioned officers’ law enforcement careers and keep them from being criminally prosecuted.

Several long term Dothan law enforcement officers, all part of an original group that initiated the investigation, believe the public has a right to know that the Dothan Police Department, and District Attorney Doug Valeska, targeted young black men by planting drugs and weapons on them over a decade. Most of the young men were prosecuted, many sentenced to prison, and some are still in prison. Many of the officers involved were subsequently promoted and are in leadership positions in law enforcement. They hope the mood of the country is one that demands action and that the US Department of Justice will intervene.

Too many criminals get away with their thuggery due to evidence that is suppressed or deemed “irrelevant” by the type of scum lawyer that the SPLC has employed..

Agreed, but that does not excuse cops who fake evidence.

Lets say this makes up for the ones that are getting away with murder.

Nope. Let's say that criminals belong in prison for a very long time, whether the criminals are wearing baggy pants or blue uniforms.

I love how they got the Confederate flag mentioned. This is agenda driven - maybe even false.

Of course it's agenda-driven. That's why I was somewhat skeptical. Still, even the mainstream media occasionally reports the truth.

Sounds like a great plan

I assume you're the next volunteer to go to jail for a crime you didn't commit in order to 'make up' for those that are getting away.

The dumb is thick around here some days...

The complaint was initiated by fellow police officers. It's right in the article.

Hey! No fair reading the article before spouting off! ;)

Convictions overturned... voting rights restored

Sentence the officers to the same sentence they put the others through.
