Alabama high school band director Johnny Mims denied swinging at an officer during the arrest. He is charged with disorderly conduct, harassment and resisting arrest.
Birmingham, Alabama. Smack in the heart of the American South. This was a Confederate state during the civil war, and one of the states that resisted racial integration. Also a state that plays a huge role in the life and death of Martin Luther King Jr., and has a deeply rooted history of racial tension.
This is why the comments concerning the race of the cops vs. the race of the band director.
Just a little more insight for those not familiar with regional US history.
