Leaked Documents: Racist Cops Planted Evidence On Black Men

A group of racist police officers in Dothan, Alabama, planted drugs and weapons and black men for years, according to leaked documents.
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 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.
The group of officers posed in a secret meeting along with the pro-slavery Confederate battle flag, which of course, was recently removed from the South Carolina state capitol in acknowledgement of its status as a symbol of racial and racist oppression.
The documents also reportedly show that internal affairs investigations were kept hush-hush in order to protect the careers of the law enforcement officers, despite their racist activities.
Other police officers within the department are responsible for the documents coming out, and have agreed to share them with the U.S. Department of Justice and Attorney General Loretta Lynch. Some of the officers have agreed to testify if the document dump leads to an investigation from the Justice Department or Congress.
The documents show police officers swearing on the record that evidence such as drugs and guns had been planted on black men, but District Attorney Doug Valeska chose to proceed with those prosecutions anyway.
