Kincaid says no

Reality denied for local police

As I mentioned yesterday, the reality show cameras will not be following Birmingham homicide detectives around, as the mayor has cancelled the agreement, saying that the chief exceeded her authority in making it. And said chief could not be reached for comment Tuesday night, probably because she has finally cracked and run away never to be seen again. That's just speculation, of course. Anyway, City Hall seems to think -- pretty reasonably -- that (in the words of the city attorney) "the homicide rate being as it is, the police should be allowed to do their job unfettered."
