    The Pickens County Jail identifies the man as 24-year-old Micah Johnson. He is being held on $500,000 bond.

    The jail website lists charges of obstructing governmental operations, resisting arrest, marijuana possession, drug trafficking and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

    That seems like a lot of artificially tacked -on charges and a very unreasonable bond.

      Surely you’re not suggesting that the august officials of Alabama law enforcement would trump up charges against a black man!? For shame!
