It seems the ACLU's star plaintiff in it's lawsuit against the Madison County Sheriff's Office has a rather colorful past. One Khadafi Manning has been convicted of drug dealing and also arrested for domestic violence. He is also suing the MCSO for targeting the Canton Estates Apartments with roadblocks and illegal searches while he sues Canton Estates for being too dangerous.
Manning was convicted of selling cocaine in Madison County in 2007. His probation ended in 2014. He was shot at Canton Estates in 2015. The police report states that Manning and another man spoke to each other. The unidentified man shot Manning several times and ran. The deputy states in the report that there was a "white plastic bag with a white substance in it" (Hmm.... wonder what was going down here?) This incident for the basis for Manning's lawsuit against Canton Estates. Earlier post with copy of lawsuit.
Madison County deputies also arrested him for domestic violence in 2014. He apparently came upon his girlfriend having sex with another man. The police report states that he "assaulted" his girlfriend but doesn't state what constituted the assault. The case was remanded to file for one year.
Then there is plaintiff Herbert Green. Madison deputies arrested him on October 29, 2015 for possession a stolen Glock 23 and possession of controlled substance with intent to sell.
Kingfish note: The post about Manning's lawsuit sure got the ACLU's attention. One of their little minions rushed this column to the newspaper that day. ACLU probably doesn't like anyone knowing they are suing on behalf of drug dealing thugs who beat women.
It's quite obvious why these plaintiffs were so eager to sign up for the ALCU's lawsuit.

Ed Blackmon was representing Manning in the Canton Estates lawsuit. He withdrew within days of the filing of the ACLU lawsuit.
Real shoe-leather enterprise reporting versus the the ACLU pseudo-PR dressed up to look like reporting in the Jackson Fake Press.
So Mr Manning sues Canton Estates for being too dangerous and/or having an atmosphere of danger as a result of having too much crime on the property and not providing enough security. But then he sues the Madison S.O. for attempting to provide more security and control to reduce the crime there. Hmmmm, yeah, that makes good sense....or NOT. So which is it, Mr Manning ? Do you want crime there, or do you want to reduce the crime there and make it safer ? Please make up your mind. If I want a safe place to live, I'm willing to subject myself to random stops by the police to provide that safety to me and my family. People like this make me sick and are the reason this country is in the shape it is in right now.
As for the lady who wrote the CL article, maam, with all due respect, the Canton Estates apartments are a "war zone" with drugs, shootings, and other crimes being rampant there. High crime areas attract and demand more police and law enforcement attention, as they should. If law enforcement was to ignore the crime in your area, you would scream racism and say that you're being ignored, but if law enforcement comes to your area, then you scream racism and say that you're being harassed. They're damned if they do and damned if they don't.
I'm glad the Madison SO is trying to clean up this cess pool. I would like to know why the Canton PD is not also trying to clean up their own back yard. It wouldn't have anything to do with $$ under the table would it?
What Canton Police Department??? They only have one in name only! If it wasn't for the Madison County Sheriff's Department, the City of Canton would have no law enforcement and no protection. Now that the city has a new Mayor and so many new members serving on the Board of Alderman, there will be even less protection and service for the city.

That was my point. If Madison SO hadn't stepped in the citizens of Canton would have NO law enforcement. Those complaining best think twice. It's a shame this has happened to another once beautiful city such as Canton.
Where are all of the people that were on the band wagon with the ACLU now? They are being very quiet now that they see that the ACLU lawsuit is all a bunch of crap. Are they maybe seeing that Madison SO is only trying to protect the citizens and not doing anything wrong??? I doubt they want to admit it but I hope they will wake up one day. If they want to be a criminal and whine when they get in trouble with the law then why don't they move to Jackson and live in Kenneth Stokes area. If they don't want to be a criminal then stay in Madison County and support the law enforcement that are trying to clean up the neighborhoods so they can have a safer life for themselves and their children.
