Protesters in Huntsville and Madison County are demanding more accountability from police after officers fired tear gas into crowds twice this month.

New at six -- protesters in huntsville and madison county are demanding more accountability from police after officers fired tear gas into crowds twice this month!

Today, some of the protestors said chief mark mcmurray isn't telling the truth about what happened.

Josephine davis, protester, "very confident that most of his facts are wrong, that he's lying and that this is all going to come out in the open tomorrow during the city council meeting the fact that he lied multiple times."

Using all of the time given to her -- josephine davis stood in front of the madison county commissioners... she detailed what happened to her on the night of june 3rd.

She showed pictures of injuries she sustained and says all she wants is accountability that leads to change in the police department waay 31's ashley carter has more.

Josephine davis, protester, "then a tear canister was launched in front of me, and i attempted to kick it away.

And, when i did so i was shot 6 times.

In the stomach, the leg the hand, the elbow and twice in my shoulder."

Holding a poster board of pictures....josephine davis wanted everyone to see the injuries she said she got when the huntsville police department used rubber bullets as a method to disperse protesters on june 3rd.

Josephine davis, protester, "i've had a lot of time to process, but even so it's still difficult.

It's still even more difficult to wrap my head around how this happened."

During a three hour long presentation to the city council last week...chief mark mcmurray said his officers don't use rubber bullets and said protestors forced officers to use tear gas.

He told council members there was criminal activity and made unsubstantiated claims about anarchists in the crowd.

Josephine davis, protester, "i hope that chief mcmurray is exposed as a liar and a fraud and i mean those words strongly."

Davis says she won't stop speaking out until accountability is taken...or a change is made josephine davis, protester, "the sheriff's department and hpd were completely irresponsible, completely out of line and we need to see accountability for our officers."
