Really???? a "Crook" for a Chief of Police?....calm down folks, I was kidding... Anyways the guy needs to take some public speaking classes, learn how to speak the king's english and get some dental work done now that he has a significant position and job. Mike Rowland was one of the best Chief of Police the city of Bay Minette has ever had but he must have ruffled some politicians feathers ad the token colored guy was chosen based on his procieved weakness and race.

@Kar...It is notable to point out that he is Black because in the history of the city there has never been a Black Chief...rather unsettling since there have been Black people in the city almost since it has been a city...dont look past the color of his skin...Embrace it!

Good man, but why do they have to point out that he is black? If they want us to look past the color of everyone's skin, why do they have to even bring that up?
