A LOOK AT ATHENS-CLARKE COUNTY
FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE STREET
(What you may miss if you aren't plugged in)

A VIEW FROM INSIDE THE GATHERING June 25, 2020

"THIS VIDEO, TAKEN BY AN ATHENS RESIDENT, and is unedited. We are grateful to have it here to share with you for clarity.
When the "Say NO to Defunding the ACCPD" crowd arrived to support safety for Clarke County residents and visitors, a neighboring group had already established themselves with signs, a bullhorn, loud music, chants, and colorful descriptives. What you see here is exactly the way it was and not exactly the way it has been portrayed.

SIGN THE PETITION

"Say NO to Defund the ACCPD"

WE THE UNDERSIGNED strongly OPPOSE ANY DEFUNDING of the Clarke County Police Department (ACCPD) or the transitioning of funds away from that department to allocate for social programs.
We support the ongoing training and appropriate education that fosters public support and encourages, rather than disparages, these men and women who put their lives on the line for the entire community.
We do not demand perfection, but we expect the utmost professionalism and ethical conduct from our officers. If an officer does not exhibit these standards and commits a crime, we expect equal justice under the law.
We support the ongoing funding and appropriate implementation of pay increases that should accompany any additional levels of education or added duties that goes beyond the boundaries of a vibrant and effective ACCPD.
We applaud the caring and hard working law enforcement officers who serve Clarke County daily.
