I want to know if this Police Chief was acting out of political passions, or political pressures (the mayor and other city political thugs were there), or if that night he was on the ACORN/Obama payroll. Civil court discovery motions and a thorough Federal law enforcement investigation of his civil rights violations will allow for a probe into his personal finances, as well as depositions and sworn testimony from all officers on duty as to the Chief’s orders and actions, both that night and during any other occasions of political activity.
As Matt notes below, the rank and file Womack cops were at odds with Womack’s use of their uniformed authority to support his Democrat’s agenda. The real American cops in Douglasville have stood up to CAIR. And by the way, we don’t use the term “real American” in some sloppy fashion. ACTIVE defines a real American as one who ardently supports the US Constitution, as Chief Womack obviously doesn’t, given his blatant trampling of it.
From Matt, ACTIVE’s Georgia State President:
We were at a David Scott (D) town Hall meeting about a highway project in Douglasville. We intended to take the floor and ask him questions on his Health Care position as well as other things, and videotape it. While bringing our cameras into the venue I was stopped by an Acorn type and told that I couldn’t bring my camera. I ignored him. He went over to a cop, a radio call was made, I was approached by Douglasville police chief Chris Womack who threatened me with arrest if I took it in. He also asked for the camera. I refused to give it to him, and told him “I will be using it outside and there is no law against that”, he ratcheted up the attempt to intimidate me at that point, asking for ID. I had nothing to hide. Roger “Screaming Eagle” covertly caught the end of the exchange on his own video.
Throughout the townhall, free speech was shut down. If anyone asked an off-topic (non-highway 92) question, they were cut off and police and security immediately surrounded them.
There were plenty of video cameras in there, but we were singled out. You could also say that we were an obvious minority there.
BTW, it was obvious most of the other cops didn’t agree with the chief’s behaviour.
I don’t like the fact that this sworn officer of the law knowingly and intentionally violated my civil and Constitutional rights for political purposes.
I think from the meeting we got some good lessons learned as to the level these bastards clamp down on free speech and press. I am going to write up a “lessons learned” for future town halls. The town halls have not been going well for these guys and they are starting to resort to brown shirt behaviour.

Maybe he is a trans plant from the New Orleans gun grab after Katrina.Just another MF jack booted thug..
This is absolute horse shit! There was no grounds to ask for his i.d. other than intimidation. My “brothers” in law enforcement better start studying the constitution because the people they are going to be dealing with certainly have.
I love that the chief is picture drinking his Kool Aid out of an Obama logo can. Smile Chief: you’re on candid camera!
We should start asking these officers if they can recite their Oath of Office, and recite it to them if they can’t remember.
Quite amazing but to be expected.
Of particular note is the tone and body language used by each of the three seen in the video. Roger “101″ conducted himself commendably.
Also interesting that Roger 101 holsters his fingers within in pockets. Training my have led him to do otherwise. Yet, in this situation, while it may have invited some of the close quarters confrontation from the Dictator In Chief (DIC), it certainly diverted further progression toward more engaging confrontation, quite possibly physical. Yet, the fingers were little over finger nail deep and therefore able to be swiftly extracted and deployed upon demand.
here is what i learned, it is difficult for the the fed to go after you. but if you want to make someone miserable, have the locals take care of it. they do not get the spotlight on them like the national level people do. so when you pick a fight, watch out on the local level. now when you combine the two
what a combination. not that we are seeing any of that now 
Isn’t this the land of the free? I bet he has swastikas on his boxers! This is going to get a whole lot uglier before it gets better boys and girl…
The war is on….

Better find a state that doesn’t have “execution” laws in place.
We now know what’s next.

The fascists are on the march. Union thugs attacking, corrupt cops suppressing dissent. It’s like they want a civil war.
Sign of the times and ready to fight
The Douglasville Police have a complaint form online. I’m urging readers at my blog to lodge complaints about Womack and I think everyone should do the same-
http://www.ci.douglasville.ga.us/forms.aspx?fid=43
Done.
Done:
“I find it appalling that Womack uses his power of position to intimidate innocent citizens. His tactics are thuggish and borderline illegal. I am sending the video clip of Womack infringing on citizens’ free speech and right to assembly to everyone I know as well as all the local Atlanta media outlets. Your department should be ashamed and your IAU should investigate immediately.”
Done

Lets take a look at his records.Somebody probably got a new Ranger bass boat.
With all due respect to any HONEST and PATRIOTIC cops here, this doesn’t surprise me at all.
I am IN Ga., and not all that far from Douglasville, and many officers here indeed relish their paramilitary trappings, and consider themselves above the law they swore to uphold.
Too many cops think what they’re TOLD AND TAUGHT to think, especially when they are also products of publik skool.This is a dangerous situation when cops consider themselves an authority unto themselves, or believe their foremost loyalty lies with their POLITICAL BOSSES not the law, the constitution or the populace. To ” protect and serve” most often seems to refer to the political/municipality employing the cops.
I am extremely apprehensive as to which side the cops in general will ultimately fall on.
No offense taken.LOL.
I live in Douglas County where this took place, and this is not an isolated incident. This county and city uses a willing police force to chill free speech, and harass dissenters. I hope they get what is coming to them.
Seriously, I forsee the day fast approaching that i will have to walk away from my job for my convictions. Dont know what else I will do being my wife lost her job in the financial industry (thanks obamanomics!) and I am currently in Chapter 13.
Thanks cold soldier for being an American first and a law enforcement officer second.This mess is going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better.The time is fast approaching when we will all have to make the choice to resist or to submit.I pray daily for God to give me the strength to do what is right when that time does come.Choosing freedom will be the hard thing,but it must be our only choice.
Good luck with everything and thanks again for your service…
I’m truly sorry your family is suffering financial hardships, sir, however, if you walk away from LE job because of your convictions/principles, know this, you will be a patriotic hero. The good Lord will provide for you.
Somewhere along the line there needs to be a fund set up for police who are Constitutional Patriots.
How can we expect them to put their life on the line and go hungry when the time is coming that they must help us?
Copperpeony is spot-on, and I’ll take it one step further by suggesting a band of (brothers) lawyers who are willing to represent them if needed. What do you think?
Bald thug. Enjoy your fame.
If you really want to take this turkey down, start publicizing this as typical of Douglasville, Ga. Encourage people to let Douglasville know what you think of their endorsement of their police chief and his tactics by refusing to go there, spend money there, etc. via letters to the mayor and the Chamber of Commerce. Nominate Douglasville as the “Worst Place to Live in the U.S.” in your local editorial blogs, newspapers, and travel columns.
Today, the battle is in publicity.
When the town sees their pocketbook threatened, they will muzzle or fire this jerk. No violence needed.
Thank you cold soldier. I as a combat veteran will never submit. I am ready to go even though I’m older now once a leader steps forward.
Someone should turn this Womack jerk on to Oathkeepers.org
I think every police officer in this country should go to the “Joe Arpaio” school of law enforcement and be forced to grow a pair before putting their gun on for the first time.

“Sheriff Joe” is truely THE MAN . Not to be intimidated by the left.
