Pastors from Decatur-area churches have planned a protest for Sunday afternoon to “highlight false arrests, harassment and body camera footage not being released to family” in response to police fatally shooting Decatur resident Stephen Perkins.

The Church Is Coming-Pastor’s Protest is scheduled for Sunday at 4 p.m. outside Decatur City Hall, according to a release from activist group Standing In Power.

A police report released on Sept. 29 said Perkins had a gun and turned it toward an officer before the shooting. Security camera footage appeared to show that police officers were hiding beside his house while a tow truck driver attempted to repossess his vehicle before the shooting. Perkins came out in the dark and asked the driver to put the truck down, and a police officer came from the side of the house and shot Perkins.

Police initially said Perkins refused to drop a gun, but they walked back that statement 13 days later, after the security footage became public and conflicted with their account.

The incident sparked protests in Decatur and calls to release the body cam footage.

According to the release, the protest involves local church communities “coming together to express their concerns about the city’s handling of the reporting, protests and investigation and their disappointment about the family not being allowed to see the body camera footage.”

Friday, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency denied a request from Perkins’ family to see the body cam footage.

In a letter dated Friday to Perkins family attorney Cannon Lambert, Sr., ALEA Director Chris Inabinett said “disclosing the requested recording at this time would affect SBI’s ongoing investigation,” WAFF reported.

“Therefore, in accordance with state law, in the interest of protecting the constitutional rights of all involved, and in the interest of prioritizing a thorough law enforcement investigation of the recorded subject matter, ALEA respectfully declines to make the disclosure you have requested while the investigation remains pending.”

Lambert could not immediately reached by AL.com for comment or to verify that he received the letter.
