The Hamilton County Sheriffs Office is investigating the in-custody death of 74-year-old Charles Arron Butler, even though, the HCSO is overseeing the Silverdale detention center themselves.

Our people deserve better!

@crimes_exposed TN Court of Appeals has denied Unjolee post-conviction relief, & the right to a fair trial. We know that Ed Johnson, an innocent Black man from Chatt. , had to take his case to the U.S Supreme Court in 1906 before being exonerated, the same reality remains. The Fight Continues

⚠️38 years ago in Chattanooga, TN Wadie E. Suttles was arrested on November 25, 1983 for “disorderly conduct” after he was found sleeping in his car.
While in custody Suttles was beaten several times by the cops which ultimately resulted in his death.

The same public defender that failed to defend Unjolee Moore, attorney Garth Best, is responsible for the ineffective counsel that resulted in the wrongful conviction of Angel Bumpass

#COVID19 pediatric hospitalizations in Tennessee continue to set new records. Overnight numbers show there are 79 children in the hospital; 16 are in ICU, 9 on ventilators. @NC5 2/2

[CCJ Chattanooga @CCJStreetTeam]

There isn’t anything “innovative” about increasing the police budget & cop salaries in Chattanooga. The city has spent $717 million of our tax dollars on the CPD over the last ten years, & it hasn’t made Chattanooga any safer. City Council will hold a public input session on 8/31
