Chattanoogans of all ethnicities met together with one mission: Wanting to make their voices known. Very very aware that there's a mass epidemic that has spanned over decades of police police brutality in the city of Chattanooga. But just having their voices heard is not the point of Saturday's meeting. They want answers, plans and results for, what they say, has been going on for far too long. I think the Adam Tatum video is one of the many recent examples. We also heard about the West Side before that happened. I think there is common knowledge of which cops participate in exessive force more than others. We first brought you the story of Adam Tatum a couple of weeks ago, after this video surfaced of two Chattanooga officers violently beating Tatum at the Salvation Army as a halfway house prisoner. People here say Tatum's story is nothing new- it just got publicity. The group pulled off into smaller groups, discussing their own stories and their own concerns. Having relatives impacted by it. Having that thud thud heart beat when i get nervous around officers becuase of my race and class. People we spoke with say this is only the beginning, and they won't stop until a change is made.
