I’m signing this because if we let government and politicians act the way they want and racially motivated rants and thoughts, it keeps racism at the front!

She has a reputation of hate towards white people and I do not think she deserves to hold any type of office in Darlington County or City. Another white employee was fired because of a personal comment and she should be fired also for her actions towards a city official .Pat Folsom (Darlington, 2020-07-23)

I am so upset that a person that happened to be a Darlington Police Officer was purposely harassed and taunted by a elected Darlington City Council member Sheila Baccus. While, the Officer was trying to maintain safety on our streets. The language, threats and accusations made towards Officer Bryant by Ms Baccus are inexcusable. I am asking Governor McMaster to release her of her Council Duties effective immediately. Thank you .Angela Cason (Darlington, 2020-07-23)

She represents our county. We don't need that kind of representative in a County office. She needs to go.Elizabeth Smith (Hartsville, 2020-07-23)
#557
Mrs. Baccus lacks the skill of leadership which was proven by her failure to acknowledge her wrongdoing and inappropriate exchange of words with a law enforcement officer. An elected official should never use their position as a reason or excuse to break the law. Her inability to treat officers of all colors with respect is disgusting and she should not be representing our city.Amanda Goins (Darlington, 2020-07-23)

What this “Lady” did was clearly racism and racism of any kind should not be permitted, this officer was doing nothing but his job!!!

There is no place in our sweet little town for such blatant racism. Being verbally abusive to such a kind and dedicated Officer is inexcusable. Ms. Baccus has grossly abused her position of power on our City Council by acting as if she is above the Law. Please remove her from her duties immediately.Patricia Tindal (Darlington, 2020-07-23)
#599
Sheila Baccus should be releaved from her duties on our Darlington city council. She is a racist and doesn't represent our citizens in the best interest. She is not teaching our young people to have respect for the Police Officers as well as their elders. Governor, please make the right decision for the citizens of Darlington County, LET SHEILA BACCUS GO!!!Barbara Dixon (Hartsville, 2020-07-23)
