A woman who was pulled over during a traffic stop apparently recorded a Priceville police officer telling her to “go back to your trash in Decatur,” and “It’s a shame God allows people like you to breathe.”
WAAY is reporting the woman had been pulled over for a light being out above her license plate. She did not receive a ticket. During a heated exchange, the woman is heard to say, “Write me one (ticket) now!” before a man’s voice says, “I don’t want to write you one.” A little later, a man’s voice is heard to say, “It’s a shame God allows people like you to breathe.” Still further into the recording, a man’s voice says, “Go back to your trash in Decatur and get out of here.” .. “It is an unfortunate fact that officers sometimes encounter persons who do not conduct themselves respectfully. Nonetheless, the Department expects its officers to perform professionally in their dealings with the public, regardless of the conduct they face from citizens with whom they interact. This will continue to be the policy and expectation of the Priceville Police Department.” https://www.al.com/news/huntsville/2021/09/go-back-to-your-trash-in-decatur-police-officer-tells-driver-on-recording.html |

I think the officer showed some implied civic pride that I find admirable.

Typical power hungry, entitled public servant, with his disdain for the public that pays him on full display. Fire that POS before he causes bigger problems.

That's no different than a cop telling me to stay out of Bowness and Forrest Lawn in my younger days.
Until I told him I lived in Bowness. Priceless look on his face right there. LOL |

Quoted: I imagine his Chief telling him behind closed doors, "Son, you get a A for effort, but an F for judgment." View Quote I knew a town drunk who was always stealing and throwing up. One night he stole the change from all the cars in a driveway. Turns out it was a bunch of guys watching football. They caught him and beat him up then called the cops. "They beat me up!" The cops said "good" and arrested him. |

Lived in Decatur for a couple years. Trashy and full of trash people. Just a dirty place.

Quoted: I absolutely could see a cop (pre camera) tell some loud mouth "Go back to Syracuse we don't need your bullshit in Cazenovia" Unlike the cynical smile and wave cops of the internet some police live in their communities and want people to have a decent town with unmolested Jack o lanterns, quiet nights and no shirtless opiate addicts vomiting outside the ice cream parlor.

What’s funny is Priceville is actually a Decatur mailing address. They don’t even have a fucking post office, it’s just an auxiliary for Decatur.

Priceville is maybe a three mile stretch of highway on the east side of Decatur. Has a few churches and a high school. Decatur was nearly closed in the 1930s because of malaria and without cotton wouldn't have lasted that long. TVA stabilized the river and drained the huge swamps. Its an industrial town that was solidly blue collar (still mostly is) until the last twenty or so years. Is the County seat for Morgan county. Decatur has always had a case of the ass because of how well Huntsville and Madison county have done. Easily 1/4 of Decatur works in Huntsville. If Priceville has three police including the chief it would surprise me.
He was most likely correct in his assessment. Decatur does have a lot of trash. Very large Hispanic population. |

Quoted: Typical power hungry, entitled public servant, with his disdain for the public that pays him on full display. Fire that POS before he causes bigger problems. View Quote We pay the cops a salary and expect a certain behavior. We pay the trash for everything they need, food housing etc.., but when they can’t act human, it’s the cops fault and we don’t hold them responsible. Good strategy. |

Quoted: What is your recommendation? @vagor View Quote In Decatur proper, Smoky C’s. They have good pulled pork and smoked chicken. They also have awesome smoked turkey breast. You ever had turkey breast that has juice running out of it? You will there. I don’t even like turkey and theirs is great. Scruggs is better. Southern Style is better. Whitts is better. Don’t go to Decatur and think Big Bobs is the best Decatur has to offer. The pulled pork has no flavor and the chicken is desert dry. Big Bobs has great smoked wings though. BuT mUh WhItE sAuCe. Fuck yeah. Big Bobs has the best White Sauce. They should know, they invented it. Now they use it to cover up their terrible chicken. I fucking love their White Sauce, some places have good, some have bad. If you want White Sauce, by a bottle at Big Bobs and then find some good bbq to put it on. When I’m given Big Bobs to eat, I’ll get something else or go hungry. I promise I’ve done it, and I’m not a man that likes to miss a meal. Fuck Big Bobs trash ass bbq. @MaxFenig |

Quoted: Is Decatur a shit hole? View Quote Not really a shithole by the standards of the rest of the country. There's a fair amount of industry there. But the city does seem to be a bit older and more run down than Madison or Huntsville. If I got a job in Decatur I would probably look at living somewhere else and just driving there every day. |

Nash’s used to be great, well the original that was in an old house in the middle of a row crop field in Hillsboro but I don’t think the new locations are as good. There’s lots of options in the area and pretty much all of them are better than Big Bobs. Quoted: I live in Decatur lol, Gibson's rules! Attached File |
