“If we need the National Guard to come in here, I do want the governor just to be on standby. If something happens in Birmingham, if we get to the point where we cannot handle this crime, we will need some backup. That’s just a realization of where we are.”“We’ve got bodies dropping,” Givan said. “We have innocent people being shot up at clubs, now even on the Southside. Obviously, the criminals that are doing this killing, they don’t care who’s in office.
