A city in Alabama is disbanding, at least temporarily, its police department two months after one of its officers texted a racist joke.
Residents in Vincent, a small city in Shelby County about 30 miles southeast of Birmingham, were outraged after the racist exchange was posted online late last month.
The message, an offensive joke involving pregnant women and slavery, was written by one of the city’s three police officers — who hasn’t been identified by the city.
