One man is holding a large American flag and other people have signs that read, "Gadsden City of Champions / United Klans of America / Support Our Police and Sheriff Dept."; "We Are Citizens Concerned for and Supporting Our Local Police"; "UKA Supports Police"; "Stand Up For Your Police"; "Citizens for Law & Order"; and "Support Police Not Crime." The Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) held a march in Gadsden the same day. The demonstrations were organized in response to the recent killing of Collis Madden, an African American man who was shot 15 times by police after a high-speed chase. |
