Tarrant City Council Meeting Freakout

- Tarrant City Councilors argue during a council meeting on November 18, 2024.
A Tarrant, Alabama city council meeting devolved into chaos as unresolved legal disputes, leadership conflicts, and personal tensions overshadowed municipal governance. The city faces a $500,000 personnel settlement tied to the dismissal of former Fire Chief Jason Rickels, who urged the council to resolve the matter by paying his back pay and allowing him to retire in two years. Mayor Wayman Newton dismissed the proposal as a "money grab," while broader leadership disputes, including the employment of Police Chief Wendell Major, remained unresolved.
Tensions flared between Mayor Newton and Councilman Tommy Bryant, reigniting a feud stemming from a 2022 altercation where Bryant punched Newton. Heated exchanges included threats of violence and racial insults, prompting gasps from attendees. Despite efforts by Councilwoman Veronica Freeman to refocus the meeting, no significant decisions were made on key issues.

This mayor looks to be against the whole city council
This mayor was elected BECAUSE of the cronyism going on. They’d been scratching each others backs for a dozen years, and there were quite a few townspeople who were sick of it. But he really ran up against a brick wall. It wasn’t racial at first, believe it or not. It was a long-standing police chief, city supervisor, and most of the city council. The worst part, though, is a bunch of people who got him to run, got him elected, have now washed their hands of the whole thing. Because the old cronies have just spread rumor after lie about him. And while he doesn’t have a great past, he was never dishonest. I like the way he stands up to these lying old crooks, myself. I wish him luck.
Most mayors are since the council is there to balance his power.
Looks to be weak-minded and racist
@@Glum1964Real dishonest of you to praise yourself in the 3rd person there Mr.Mayor… Always lying, you just trying to paint the streets with rainbows, conspiring against anyone who ain’t down with the gluckgluck3000 you and your boyfriend be on
Looks like that mayor needs to be removed from office.
For what for holding them accountable that’s why business as usual always continues in this country obviously he came to change things and the city council doesn’t want anything to change! I wish my people just unite and I’m talking about Black American and only and no other group of people they are not us and we are not them! We need to pool our money buy our own land and remove ourselves from all the evil that is America stop spending a penny with anybody who isn’t black period full stop and let’s see how this country will thrive without us! America isn’t anything without us the only thing America exports is us! Stop signing to any nfl nba any sports teams records labels clothing companies All of it stop being everything make our own wear our go to Africa and build manufacturing so we can start making our own cell phones cars and so on do the SAMETHING that these folks do! Find some poor
Country take the jobs from here and bring them over there and pay them a penny a day! It’s time we learned to adapt study and use their tactics against them!
🎯
Apparently they don’t do that anymore. If you’re an elected official, it’s impossible to be removed
Sounds like you like living in Russia
@@jackblackie4679 Sounds like it…right?! Scary times

Well, both parties are speaking out of their butts. It sounds like the reality on all sides are skewed. I'm going to do research on the judgments and court decisions. They are definitely not following the rules of order. I'd be curious to review their previous meetings minutes. This is fascinating, yet is making my PTSD that I experienced in Board meetings, flare up. Childish behaviors from people who were elected to work in the greater good of their citizens. This is more about personal issues and tattletelling. Ridiculous!
Absolutely embarrassing for the rest of us here. Thanks, children in charge.
Stop voting for people like him.
@@Miner-49 I don't live in Tarrant, and I don't vote for Democrats. I was speaking of the greater Birmingham area, and the state, itself, in general.
Don't make statements that you haven't fully fleshed out.
Children would do better ❤😊
@@southboundguitarTarrant, itself, is an embarrassment. Look at it. Cronies took all the money, everyone with money left, now it’s infested with drugs, gangs, and all it brings. Drive down 79 and look at the place. It actually looks just like it is. These people acting a fool while stealing, trying to prove who has the biggest winky, and talking about each other like it’s high school. Don’t get me started about issues I’ve seen with their pd
Low IQ low impulse control jamming the gears of progress.
Well said!
Actually it's the high iq people do this shit narcissistic
Some humans evolved, others are stuck on controlling others instead of themselves.
That white guy at the end is the one you must be referencing. He's the one who has committed unprovoked verbal and physical assaults on camera to his colleagues on multiple occasions...which he was once arrested for.
What a mess.!
That prayer went left
Real Fast!!
As my grandmother used to say, that prayer only went as high as the ceiling.
A Pray sometimes is just ramble because God knows our Hearts!
Chuck has rights to , it’s called free speech .
You being racist by ignoring someone you disagree with😂 KAREN!
🤣😂🤣
Smartest person in the room was not even on the council. She was the last speaker. Someone like her is the one that needs to be the mayor of that town.
I'm from Charleston SC and I concur with the gracious woman that spoke last. Y'all city council members need to all resign. Circus 🎪🎪🎪
@@mackiegreene8922very well stated!!! The “homosexuals”????😮😮😮
The “N” word???😮😮😮
Bigotry, sexism, racism and homophobia!!
I was just getting ready to write the same thing when I came across your comment. She's just a sane common sense kinda person. That lady should be leading that council.
Just remember, just because a police officer or city council member, even a lawyer or a judge, says something is illegal. Does not mean that it is. They can not only be mistaken. They can be corrupt. You always wanna remember that.
What in the flippin hell is going on. Freaking wowzers
You’d be surprised by the behavior of city counsel these days. It’s very high school. You should go to yours. You’d be very disappointed
The mayor is the problem. Blaming everyone is a cop-out.
Innocent until proven guilty!!! Sue the city and mayor for millions!!!!
"Maybe we should agree to no drinking at future meetings?"
Elected officials need to love their constituents more than they hate each other 🤦🏻♂️
Love God first......then there won't be time for hate

That's a deep thought worth praying for. Not for MANKIND. Light and darkness CANNOT occupy the same space at the same time. My mind is locked on 'PEACE BE STILL' not everybody but MANKIND sucks!
Professionalism disappearing faster than corruption is appearing.
When was there ever any professionalism in politics
wtf ? who elects a mayor like that ?
Questionable elections?
What did you see here that determined that 🤔?
Like what? Explain yourself
The Js select them.
having no mayor is better than this mayor
AMEN!!
Is this what happens when we have HR doing sensitivity training with employees and now everyone is all about about their feelings and not about the law
The board should adjourn, mayor bringing up personnel issues
These clowns spend our taxes can you believe this????
The lack of any intellectual horsepower is frightening!
Say's alot about a community who would vote a " thug " into the seat of mayor of their community. This man didn't suddenly become the way he is " after " his election. Vote for qualified individuals not for inclusion and equity. The people of the community did this to themselves.
⛔#FactsDoMatter
👉"Affirmative action and DEI has been quite beneficial to women, and disproportionately beneficial to white women. Women are now more likely to graduate with bachelor’s degrees and attend graduate school than men are and outnumber men on many college campuses.
👉In 1970, just 7.6 percent of physicians in America were women; in 2002, that number had risen to 25.2 percent.
👉But - and this is a big but - those benefits are more likely to accrue to white women than they are to women of color, and that imbalance has very real effects on employment and earnings later in life.
👉In other words: affirmative action works, and it works way better for white women than it does for all the other women in America."~IMDiversity and PewResearchCenter
LOL, "thug"?
Dolton vs Tarrant, a battle of who is the worst city council in the US......
Add Flint in that battle. It's a mess!
RIP Eric Mays
Add Flint
The way Flint currently got going on after the current councilman death and his family causing a ruckus plus the council members going back and forth I say absolutely!!
Almost every time I went to Tarrant City I got a flat tire
Hahaha. You got off easy.
Lol
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be politicians. The mayor appears to be a sociopath. He needs to be recalled.
How you figure that???
Dont forget narcissistic! And a narcissistic + sociopath = dictator. Not mayor!
Mamas don’t let your babies grow up with the emotional composure of infants.* FIFY
What the breakdown of society and government looks like. Perfect example of corruption.
God had His hand on the lady that spoke the truths to the council members. Amen for her courage to speak and calm the storms that are raging in her town.
This is the most embarrassing council meeting. Just wow.
The prayer has me so confused
Asking God to slap some sense into babies is hard to understand?
listen TO THEM BICKERING BACK AND FORTH NOT EVEN LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE THEY SERVE!!
All these problems are miniscule and this council is great compared to the city council that allowed 20,000 Haitians to be bussed in the last 12 months.
Tarrant can fix its problems but Springfield OH. Will never be the same.
It's Springfield,Ohio not Springfield Missouri
Research why the Haitian immigrants were invited to Springfield, Ohio. The town was about to collapse and the vetted families helped revitalize the town. Improvements. Take the blinders off and the truth will be seen.
20,000 Haitian need to be relocated, fully paid, and accommodated for everything they done if not accepted by the area
Recall this mayor!
Once they are elected into office it's hard to remove them. They need a probation period like all other jobs.
Based on what exactly???
Brotha man mayor has some sugar in his tank😅😅
Exactly what I was thinking
This is relevant how?
Slenda?
Silky
The guy seated in the center is trouble. If he's the Mayor, his attitude will destroy everything in his wake. Surely, there is a process to remove him and seat someone who offers solutions to problems without creating them.
Yes he is the mayor..

You "stop it".
The beta Mayor is the total problem here...
Every one of them is the issue there.
Is daddy should have went outside of his head when he was a kid obviously he didn't have no discipline in his life
I like how he rudely pretended to be using his phone instead of listening like a 12 year old girl.
Just so you know? Beta is the stable release. The word you are looking for is alpha.
How you figure that???
They need to get rid of that mayor, YESTERDAY ‼️🤦🏻♂️
The most unimpressive people always seem to be in charge of something.
We are about to go through that again and it will be worse!
@Raccoon_Mama.
Please, elaborate.
I literally just made this same statement about my current job.
Man yall got a cluster F there. Sounds like you might want to get rid of your Mayor.
Are Tarrant and The City of Birmingham competing for the 2024 BIGGEST LOSER award?
ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. It’s so ghetto
That last lady spoke for the people and admonished that clown show. She’d get my vote. She understands the purpose of the council..
This man and Tiffany Henyard playing from the same hand... smh
Henyard, Johnson, Adams, this dude, etc., etc., etc. What's up w/ black mayors in this country?
You named three men that happen to be black out of thousands of black mayors.
@@JasonT1875 One is female and I'm talking about the elephant not the mouse. I talk about what I see and hear. One thing that separates humans from animals is the ability to think in the abstract. If you're confused by my comment, that ability might be lacking in you. For example, if I say the behavior of black people creates more non-black racists than any other causal factors combined, I'm not talking about every single black person on the planet, and a reasonable person would comprehend that. Hope that helps you better understand things in the future.
@@phobicismist5858 the fact that you think you’re talking in code doesn’t absolve you of unnecessarily attributing the actions of 3 mayors that happen to be black to a whole race of leaders. Stay blessed. 🤝
@@JasonT1875 Code? When you look up abstract thinking, please look up the definition of et cetera, including the abbreviation as well. There are plenty more, I just don't have all their names memorized. Probably be easier finding one that's not in the news for negative reasons. I'd love to hear about one so please share.
Title they got fked up!!
If Y'all think Tiffany Henyard is bad start researching and exposing these elected officials and judges in Birmingham, AL. Content Gold.
Kindergarten class here.
He is on his phone the entire time. If he uses his phone during a council meeting, isnt everything he did on that phone supposed to be made public record?
If it's a public phone, sure...but it probably isn't.
Yes, it doesn't matter if it's a personal phone or a city issued phone. FOIA applies to any communication during a public meeting.
Head of Houston housing authority, making $278,000 per year, lost his job for accepting illegal contracts. Why is this happening?

Evidently proper English is not a requirement for seat.
Blapipo ain’t need no litrasee
This is ŵhat happens,when people vote for colour not ability!
America dodged a bullet with Harris.
Alabama is my home state. Loads of small towns have elected officials speaking like this. Go to Bessemer… Tarrant City is about the same.
The young mayor but as the blame complex, nothing is ever his fault yet he is the mayor.
The white alderman made very valid points. The young African American mayor is acting ignorant, and is clearly vengeful. The mayor is acting exactly like Village of Dolton, Illinois Mayor Tiffany Henyard. I feel bad for the original Fire Chief who’s trying to be professional about the situation.
Not to mention they falsely accused the brown man of throwing trash when all he was doing was picking it up...for 14 years.
How do you figure??? Who accused the trashman??? It wasn't the mayor. Seems to me the good Ole boy system is deeply entrenched in this town and they refuse any change that upsets the old system. Same old bull💩system. However people get in their feelings and not listen to facts.
This is worse than Dolton. Wow!! I thought Dolton was off the hook!!! Yall beating Dolton.
Embarrassing.
I’m not from there but things like this pop
Up on my recommended. The lady at the end needs to be MAYOR! She truly seems to care about her fellowman. Lotsa folks DONT GIVE 2 buckets of warm piss about other people. Truly Sad!
A house divided amongst itself will not stand. Pray in one part and sin in the other.

You got a quarter I'm cheap tonight it's funny to me LMAO😅😅😅 might as well get on clubhouse so we can all get it off our chest LOL
It appears that people simply need to be taught and trained on how to function in city council roles, because this simply looks like gross incompetence causing an embarrassing level of dysfunction.
You know I grew up in Tarrant and graduated from the high school back in the day. I never knew of the city being like this. It was always order and respect because the city was bigger than the person. Now it's reversed.
Is that aunt Ester yelling Tommy, Tommy? Sounds like a Charlie Chan rerun! Lol 😂 😂
…”if you confirm my termination I’m going to take my handbag and walk right out…uh hum”
Look at the mayors bank statements
The citizens need to come together and if they care enough about their city they need to recall all of the council members and mayor and elect people who will work for the people of that community.
There would be a resolution if the money was coming out of their pockets.
The last speaker was the only voice of reason in the room.
Sweet home Alabama!!!!!
If the mayor is looking at his phone 90 percent of the time he’s not doing a good job no where but on his phone get his sweet azz out of office Asap
The people voted for them, so that tells you a lot.

Wow this is unreal and sadly seems to be common place in the us in 2024 and it is a freigan disgrace! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Everyone setting there needs to grow up and act like adults
I'm not sure what all this is about, but if it's about a corrupt police officer, yeah, cities and mayors and city councils, we've got corruption all over in our law enforcement, and you have to weed it out, one at a time as hard as it may be.
The candy crush is strong with this one.
This is the problem. Corrupt City Council members 🍏💩
It's baffling to me how some cities stay functioning in this country.
I have to say, this is definitely a money grab to have 2 fire chiefs for 1 city.
Is the black councilman related to Eric Mays?
Why is this video edited? Where is the transparency? Pay the fire chief, fix the corruption, >reassign
SOUNDS LIKE IT’S TIME TO GET RID OF THE MAYOR! SEEMS ALL OF THIS BAD STUFF COMES FROM HIM😳💩💩💩
That Mayor makes a mockery of civility.
Threatening a senior citizen 🤦.
The whole damn bunch of them needs to learn some manners and grow up.
