Comments

Councilwoman Baccus needs to resign.(Lamar, 2020-07-22)
#3
I'm signing this because wrong is wrong. With all the racially charged riots going on this is something we do not need right now. Cw baccus knows what she did and this can not idly pass by and be swept under the rug. Officer bryant is an outstanding officer and should not have to be racially profiled. I hope everyone else who reads this has the balls to speak up. Racism is not one sided and is seen in many colors.(darlington, 2020-07-22)

If it was me I would be fired(Hartsville, 2020-07-22)

That it's not the attitude I want to represent me or my family towards law enforcement. The statement is a direct racially driven slur and that does not belong in this county. A woman was fired from the court house for having a opinion on rioters, no comment was made by her against a person's race send she was fired immediately. Which I do not think was just. In a time like this racial inequality us across the board.(Hartsville, 2020-07-22)

I’m signing because Paul Bryant is a stand up guy who, I honestly believe, would take a bullet for my child. He is the SRO at my sons school. He fair and respectful to everyone and he should be treated with that same fairness and respect.(Darlington, 2020-07-22)

Do not believe this council woman can fairly represent ALL races. She should have been removed as soon as this happened! Sad a petition was needed, her superiors should have handled this swiftly! Not only was this racism at its finest, but she showed total disregard for the law & the police officer enforcing it.(Hartsville, 2020-07-22)

I'm signing because Ms. Baccus should have resigned and didn't. Her hate should be removed immediately from the City Council to prevent further detriment to our city. Her hate speech and verbal attack on a police officer should constitute a hate crime.(Darlington, 2020-07-22)

This is unacceptable for a Holder of Public Office be so Blatantly Racist to a local Police officer simply doing his job. This should not be allowed from any level of Government. She should immediately be removed from the City of Darlington City Council.(Darlington, 2020-07-22)

racism is wrong against any color. SHE is a public official and was very unprofessional towards the Officer. How many more has she shown this disrespect to because of their color? She is a disgrace to the entire town.(darlington, 2020-07-22)

She’s has a long track record of causing problems. Her racism and hate is not representative of what our city believes or upholds. She should most certainly be removed from office...there’s no place for that on city council.(Darlington, 2020-07-22)
#156
what the council woman did and said was wrong. Regardless of race, government representatives need to be held to a higher standard and she needs to be held accountable. I'm sure the officer would have been dismissed or reprimanded had the roles been reversed.(Darlington, 2020-07-22)
#157
Because what this woman said was RACIST and she needs to be removed. If the situation was reversed, they would've been gone the same day. Justice for all!(Lamar, 2020-07-22)
