Protest leader claims to know which officer shot E.J. Bradford, threatens to release name, address

December 3, 2018

Carlos Chaverst, Jr., the leader of recent protesting in Hoover, claims he knows the name and address of the police officer who shot and killed Emantic “E.J.” Bradford, Jr. and is threatening to publicly release the information.

Chaverst posted on Facebook early Monday afternoon that “[i]f the officer isn’t ARRESTED & CHARGED with capital murder” by noon on Tuesday, he will publicize the information, along with the officer’s photo.

This came after Chaverst, at 12:05 p.m, asserted he could get the officer’s name who shot Bradford “within an hour.”

Facebook earlier in the day removed at least one video Chaverst posted because he was engaging in “hate speech.”
