Vincent City, Alabama—a town of less than 2,000 people—had only three police officers. But the city council just decided to temporarily disband the whole department after a two-hour hearing at a local high school regarding a racist text sent by one officer that surfaced on social media.
Mayor James Latimer explained that the department couldn’t fire the police officers, due to an outdated policy that it is trying to change. However, disbanding the entire department would allow the city to lay off the officers. “Based on our personnel policies, we cannot terminate them,” Latimer said.
