Black cop sees community from both sides

By CLAY NEELY clay@newnan.com Officer Clifton White now patrols the streets he grew up and played on.

For over 15 years, he’s been involved in law enforcement in Coweta. He occasionally runs into a few friends that still live in the area, but many of the original families who occupied the homes in the Rocky Hill area have either passed away or moved elsewhere.

He grew up in Newnan’s Rocky Hill neighborhood where he lived with his great-grandparents. The couple served

as White’s greatest influence growing up.

In their small house, built in 1901 by his great-grandfather, the family always took care of those who showed up on their doorstep.

The police department now sits on the site of the Hannah Homes housing project – an area where White spent his adolescence, watching the residents and police interact on a daily basis.

He spent endless hours on the basketball court, and watched as drug dealers would hide their stash in the bushes while they shot hoops with him.

His first direct contact with police

came after he was stopped at Kroger.

White and his friends were suspected of shoplifting.

“I was terrified because I had no prior first-hand experience with police. My parents never talked to me about them, and I always had a fear of police,” White recalled. “I never once remember saying ‘I want to be a police officer.’ My goals were to get into business and become a CEO. That’s what I told myself I wanted to do.”

But as a young man, White bounced

WHITE

Continued from page 1A from job to job, playing basketball in a church league when he wasn’t working.

Through the league, he be g a n i nterac t i n g more with members of local law enforcement. One day, a deputy at the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office asked him if he was open to a career in law enforcement.

“I’d never considered it,” White said. “But they said I had the right personality and a good head on my shoulders.”

After a successful interv i e w, W h i t e h a d t h e job. T here was just one stipulation.

“Bubba , you got ta c ut those cornrows,” he recalled.

“I cut my hair, and 15 years later, here I am.”

A badge and a new perspective However, his perception of the world has changed greatly as a police officer. A self-admitted bleeding heart, White believes he’s given far more warnings than tickets in his career.

It’s a profession White has enjoyed, but he’s learned a lot about himself and his community.

“I’ve come into contact w it h friends a nd fa m i ly members while on patrol, and I’m still amazed how people get out here a nd b e h a ve s om e t i m e s ,” h e said. “But you know, that’s their choice. They’ve made their choices, and I’ve made mine.”

As an African-American in law enforcement, White said he understands the uncomfortable relationship shared by police and many in the community. A fair share of his calls are from Eastgate and Westgate – two predominantly African-American communities – but he believes that all officers have biases, whether they want to admit them or not.

“A large number of crime does comes from Eastgate and Westgate, but there are some really good folks over t here, too, on ly because

“ he continued. “The grass isn’t always greener on the other side, and there’s no perfect precinct.”

A call for more community-oriented policing has been cited as one way to help reduce crime and create a better working relationship between police and the African-American community.

White could be considered an ideal poster child for proactive, community policing.

“People like a familiar, smiling face, and I try to get out and shake hands with everyone,” he said. “Just because some people made bad choices doesn’t mean they’re bad people. There are so many sides to the story, and then there’s the truth.”

With more manpower, the force could achieve more com munity outreach, he said.

Increases in call volume and low recruitment numbers make new initiatives a stretch.

“We’re trying to keep up with the current workload, or we’re playing catch up,” he said. “We do good with what we have, but our community is growing, and we can only do so much with our current numbers.”

down,” he said. “I can tell t hem t h at I k now wh at they’re going through, and that I’ve been there myself.”

Ne w n a n Pol i c e C h i e f Douglas L. “Buster” Meadows knows the ability to communicate is one of the strongest tools an officer can possess. To him, White is a great example of a streetwise cop who can talk to anyone.

“He’s level headed and doesn’t mind getting out there and talking to people,” he said. “Those kinds of people are few and far between, but people will spill their whole life’s stor y out to them.”

Black Lives Matter disconnect As a policeman and a citizen, White has a problem with Black Lives Matter.

“I say ‘all lives matter’ because that’s how I was ra ised a nd that ’s what I believe in,” he said. “I’m all for peaceful protests, but when you talk about your life matters because you’re black , you’re sepa rati ng yourself because of the color of your skin.”

“Instead of the political jargon, we need to be honest with one another. Stop blowing smoke and just be real,

that’s where their economic level is right now,” he said.

“You have to see beyond that.”

One of the hardest aspects of patrolling a community, W hite believes, is keeping yourself from becoming desensitized and jaded. After 15 years of answering similar calls, keeping an open mind and positive outlook is often hard, but vital.

“Sure, I get tired of going to some neighborhoods and seeing 2- and 4 -year-old kids out in the middle of the night,” he said. “But we can’t allow that to keep us from trying to change things.”

White said he feels the disconnect between the community and law enforcement, but stressed it’s like any other line of work. You work with the good a nd bad apples, and you can’t generalize.

“The bad apples don’t last long out here,” he said.

One of White’s secrets to being effective is the ability to communicate with anyone he encounters. Communication is one of his greatest assets as an officer. “ W hen you’re si ncere, they know it, and that wall between you two can come

OPINION

A death in ‘Bama Over in Alabama, you run across the strangest things.

Or into them.

It happened to me years ago. The day was bright and clear, college exams were over and I was pushing my pumpkin-colored Ford Pinto to the limit, Panama City bound.

The law was always thick on Hwy. 231, so I took 87 south out of Troy, hoping to dodge the radar.

I failed to dodge the buzzard.

Anybody who’s driven five miles of country road has come across a buzzard gnawing on a piece of roadkill. I’d run up on more than I could count, and every one had flapped away when

the car got close.

Not this time. Either the dead possum was too tasty to leave or the buzzard was too fat to move fast, but it didn’t fly away until way too late.

The bird smashed the windshield, bounced off the hood and exploded in a blur of guts and feathers.

The motor kept running so I made a new windshield with duct tape and plastic sheeting and kept going. My pals agreed the buzzard had done more vehicular damage than any animal they’d ever seen, short of a direct hit by a whitetail buck.

None of us could say that today.

A new new Alabama roadkill record was set

A camel. The humpy kind.

This isn’t supposed to happen in Alabama. Or anywhere else in the United States of America.

Movie Review By: Jonathan W. Hickman

“Snowden” is nothing new The story already has the Oscar. The fantastic 2014 documentary “Citizenfour” took us inside the Edward Snowden event as it actually transpired. From a luxury hotel room in Hong Kong, Snowden, journalist Glenn Greenwald, filmmaker Laura Poitras, and journalist Ewen MacAskill shocked the world by reporting on the leak of thousands of classified U.S. gover n ment doc u ment s .

That film was fascinating and unique and worthy of the recognition it received.

Naturally, this exciting and newsworthy story of espionage and government overreach was perfect for narrative feature film treatment. And naturally, the best director for the job was Oliver Stone, who is famously known for his revisionist view of historical events.

Even though his liberal perspective often shapes his narratives, the results can be really wonderful and arguably fair. After all, this is the guy who made Richard Nixon sympathetic.

So, with “Snowden” can Stone return to form after a lackluster decade of films?

The answer is “yes” and “no.”

“Snowden” is a finely crafted picture that can’t seem to find its thematic focus.

While it has moments of insight and thrilling tension, Stone, working from a screenplay he’s co-written, just can’t seem to tell us who his protagonist is and what his motivations were for

ground transportation for the three wise men who visited baby Jesus.

In the mid-1800s, the U.S. Army imported a bunch of the humpbacked beasts and put them to work hauling military cargo in the deserts of the American Southwest.

That herd is history.

Most camels that now call the U.S. home work at circuses and zoos or live in Hollywood.

And—as it turns out—at Turk’s Bama Bucks farm.

Bama Bucks raises and sells deer to other breeders interested in improving deer genetics.

Bama Bucks is also home to a few elk and some kangaroos. On September 12, 2016, a camel was there, too.

Was.

The police incident report said Bama Bucks owner Terry Turk was leading the beast across a road with a halter when teen driver A.J. James came rolling through.

It was near dark and visibility was poor.

Turk said he waved his arms to alert James. James said he never saw the camel.

It was a direct hit.

James’ car suffered extensive damage to the windshield, hood and front end. James suffered extensive damage to his face, shoulders, arms and chest.

The camel suffered extensive damage all over.

Young Mr. James will be fine. The camel had to be put down.

Internet trolls pounced on the incident, making snarky

taking the law into his own hands. Despite clocking in at over two hours, Stone never gets inside Snowden’s head and instead observes the young man from a distance.

And given the previous film and huge amount of media coverage, there is nothing new here to report.

Joseph Gordon Levitt is once again very good as the lead. He is a major talent for sure, and as Snowden he adopts the computer expert’s monosyllabic speech pattern and geeky haircut. But the script makes him into an unappealing android that would likely be rejected from Westworld as not human enough . Sha i lene Woodley is more natural playing Snowden’s girlfriend, but like so much in the film, we

are given no idea why she is in love with him. Terrifying is Rhys Ifans as a shadowy CIA operative who acts as Snowden’s mentor and superior.

W hile there is good work on display here, perhaps unforgivable is that in its concluding moments, “Snowden” becomes an odd mixture of fact-based fiction and political non-fiction— blurring the line. Without spoiling the details of the scene, this jarring turn is distracting and the film lapses into a talky and undeniably preachy mini-TED talk. This means that “Snowden” will be appealing to those who consider the former CIA employee a heroic whistleblower and infuriating to those who call him a traitor.

comments like, “Only in Alabama” and “Camels can be harmful to your health.”

I’m not one of them.

Running over an animal— any animal—is no laughing matter. Unless you get an armadillo, which is cause for celebration.

Funeral arrangements for the camel have not been announced. I hope the Alabama folks do it up big. I feel like they will.

Surely a state whose citizens revere a Bear named Bryant and shout “War Eagle” at the top of their lungs will find a way to honor an animal who will forever be the state’s most famous traffic fatality.
