Video is Not Representative of the Community 

 ####

Harrison, AR, July 28, 2020 — A video was released yesterday on YouTube that featured individuals angry at a Black Lives Matter protester. Boone County Judge Robert Hathaway joined Harrison Mayor Jerry Jackson and Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce President/CEO Bob Largent by issuing the following statement:


“The video does not represent Boone County nor the City of Harrison. While we cannot excuse the reprehensible behavior and words of individuals recorded in the video, we know for certain that they do not reflect the views of the majority of the good people of our communities. It is obvious there is still work to be done in our area and across the nation. We must constantly strive to do better, and we pledge our continued efforts in that regard.”
