Your area.

This morning...the community members will get another chance to offer their thoughts to the huntsville police advisory council about what happened during protests in early june.

On june 5th, huntsville police used tear gas and rubber bullets on protesters for refusing to leave.

The police department has continued to stand by their actions.

The council also created a website to allow people to submit comments and upload cell phone videos and pictures from that night.
