Senate Bill 504 Would Allow Voters To Disband Corrupt Police Department At The Center Of Ahmaud Arbery's Murder

Disbandment could be the future of corruption-ridden Glynn County Police department as new bill would allow voters to decide whether county leaders should disband the GCPD and merge resources with the county sheriff's office. (which could be no future!) Georgia!

Apparently, a history of tampering with crime scenes and retaliation against whistleblowers caught up with them. 
Senate Bill 504 calls for a November ballot referendum that give voters the prerogative.

The police department is currently in the news for how they swept the cold-blooded murder of Ahmaud Arbery by killer ex-cop Gregory McMichael, 64, and his murderous son Travis McMichael, 34 but the bill, introduced by Republican Sen. William Ligon earlier this year, was in direct response to numerous controversies surrounding the Glynn County PD before Arbery's February 23 shooting.

Senator Ligon said that he introduced his bill after a grand jury presentment on a sex scandal with drug informants and allegations of witness tampering - centered around the aforementioned department's notorious narcotics unit which led to several indictments against several men of uniform in March, including police Chief John Powell for a violation of oath of office and witness tampering.

A vote on the measure was initially scheduled for earlier this year but pushed back after the legislature was released early due to coronavirus concerns. The new vote is set for June.

One person not on board is Glynn County Commission Chair Mike Brown, who is challenging the legality of the bill.
