The fight between college students and residential neighborhoods is a familiar debate in college towns. This can range from college parties getting out of control to students’ property upkeep.

Maybe said college students will get a knock on the door requesting that the music is turned down or to encourage the party be brought inside. Regardless to the matters, nothing compares to the method of request Tuscaloosa Police Department bestowed on three University of Alabama undergraduates.

After a victory win of the University of Alabama football game against Louisiana Sate University, it seemed natural for students to celebrate. However, there were noise complaints that caused the police to arrive at the residence at 3:19 in the morning of Nov. 8.

In the beginning of the video, the one of the policemen attempts to invite himself into the apartment without a proper warrant. However, 21-year old Brandon Williford politely declines by saying, “I respect your authority, but you’re not allowed in my apartment,” shown in a video found on the New York Daily News website.

Immediately after Williford is escorted out, one of the other twelve policemen grabs another student, 22-year old Matthew Macia and forces him into the hallway as well. This leaves 22-year old Caroline Giddis inside of the apartment hysterical with police aggressively swearing at her to “shut up”.

Initially, the policeman dealing with Williford tries to say that he is under arrest for grabbing his arm. However, it is apparent that from the beginning, the policeman has his hand latched onto Williford’s wrist, initiating the physical contact. Further on, the three students are charged with arrest for “obstructing governmental operations” with an additional charge of “harassment” from Giddis and one on Macia for “resisting the arrest,” according to Graham Kates of CBS News Online.

The Police Chief of Tuscaloosa, Steve Anderson, released the names of the three most involved officers in this dispute: Philip Champion, James Kent, and Gregory Pimm. Currently, these particular officers are released from their duties and cannot practice law enforcement until further notice.

In the Tuscaloosa Police Enforcement press conference, Anderson explains that this investigation is highly concerning and must carefully reviewed. Anderson also apologized for the policemen’s actions as well as asked people to not fear the Tuscaloosa Police Department.

The chief believes that the actions of his officers reflects on himself as well as the department as a whole and hopes to achieve an advanced communication training that regards the procedures of escalating and deescalating situations. Anderson places importance on his promise to keep the investigation open and fluid with information as it is revealed.
