We heard from the group about their push for changes in policing.
Rosa Parks Day Committee members of Huntsville-Madison County along with State Rep. Anthony Daniels spoke out in downtown Huntsville. They want the police chief to renounce his support of William Darby following his murder conviction for a fatal shooting while answering a call.
The group made the same demand for Mayor Tommy Battle. They say he gave them a revised statement, saying he respects the jury’s decision and Darby’s right to appeal.
