HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) - It's not hard to find a Confederate flag flying in Alabama, but it may surprise you some of the places you'll find it.
The next time you see an Alabama State Trooper, take a close look at their cruisers and a patch they wear on their uniform.
You can find a Confederate flag on every trooper vehicle. You'll also find the flag on a patch that every uniformed Trooper wears.
The Huntsville chapter of the NAACP says it time for it to go, and they plan on taking their fight to Montgomery.
An NAACP spokesperson said now is the perfect time to spark this movement.
"The time is right, and I just think it needs to be," said the Reverend Robert L. Shanklin. "We need to do a clean sweep. The state and local government, anywhere that that's located."
Troopers said they are aware of the controversy, but there's nothing they can do. They explained that any changes to the emblem will have to happen at the state level.
ISIS is alive and well in the Alabama NAACP destroying history
The Taliban lives in the Alabama NAACP
I want “NAACP” removed from their name.........it’s racist.
The NAACP is a racist organization.I want them removed from America.
I have a better idea. Since America is racist, we should repatriate all Blacks back to Africa. It’s the right thing to do. Liberia is wonderful this time of year...
They’ll cave. All corporations are run by invertebrates.
Why aren’t they concerned that we have a guy in the WH that embraces a mass-murdering ideology like communism? Something like 100 million innocent people have been murdered under that system.
NAACP is a hate group. I want it to disband and get consigned to the ash heap of history.
‘Twould perhaps be more productive to remove the NAACP from the country.
Let them find their own damned country with whatever silly little flag they want.
They can bring all their science Nobel Prize winners, techie geniuses, etc to help them set up a country.
I’ve had it.
NAACP, shove it up your collective Obamaholes.
If you want to stay, get the majority of your constituents off of welfare, and let the talented among you (which there are many) take charge after kicking your sorry little prejudiced pampered *sses out of leadership positions.
Grow up, and get a job.
Its time we need to take another look at MLK, Jr. and his deserving a National Holiday. His morals and dishonest and intellectual theft of writings and speeches attributed to him clearly warrant reevaluation.
Why is the rebel flag on police cars?
Should be interesting to hear what Kid Rock’s response is.
If people didn’t look at Twitter, they wouldn’t get all worked up by all the tweets. What we are seeing now is the old people reacting to Twitter as if it were opinion polls. The young people tweet, retweet, then they are on to the next big meme. Old people read tweets and think oh my god look what people are thinking, and they do things to correct the subject of the tweets. Next day, nobody cares.
Can’t wait for some folks to start calling Islamic bakers and order a cake with Mohammed’s picture on it.
It's there for historical reasons.
They want to remove it for hysterical reasons.
