A small city called Vincent in the state of Alabama, has voted to disband its police force, after racist text messages being exchanged between two of its officers was revealed.
In the text messages, which recently surfaced on social media, one user named ‘752’ asked, “What do y’all call a pregnant slave?” To this, one person who is not identifiable through the text, responded with question marks.
The user named 752 then responded: “BOGO Buy one, get one free.”
The messages were first reported by AL.com on Tuesday, the same day the Vincent city council met to decide on the issue.
The police chief, James Srygley, had said the department had conducted an internal investigation into the matter and that appropriate disciplinary action was being taken.
However, Srygley himself was identified as one of the officers who was terminated. Assistant chief John L. Goss was also terminated, and the city council then voted to disband the whole department.
The sheriff’s office of Shelby county said in a statement, “We condemn these actions and our office will help the citizens with emergency law enforcement service.”
The population of the town, south-east of Birmingham, is about 2,000 as of 2021, with fewer than 500 African Americans, and only eight Hispanic people.

Sounds like a good place to live!
You find out that your ancestors nursed on the breast of an African Slave Mother, so NOW you learned two things, 1) Why Thomas Jefferson LOVED Miss Sally so well over Martha. 2) When your ancesstors nursed, they received DNA from my African ancestry, so that make caused some WASPs to be mulattoes. Check your ” LOST and HIDDENED” history
So what percentage of “Reparations” money do we get,, sounds great to me… “White privilege” and “Reparations” $$$,,,,, WAHOO here comes my new bass boat,,,
Maybe if they can do that to their entire police force, we can fire the entire FBI. Good plan.
I DON’T think that the WHOLE police department should been disbanded, weed out the ” bad- mannered ones, even if the town had to patterned after Mayberry, If the entire was tainted, train new officers to become GOOD public servants for the good of the citizens. There must be some decent and compassionate persons nearby.
