DescriptionThe mayor of a northern Tennessee town asked police to target political opponents for traffic violations and used derogatory language about homosexuals and blacks, officers testified Monday.

The officers testified at a hearing to determine whether Coopertown Mayor Danny Crosby should be temporarily removed from office while a petition to oust him is pending in the courts.

Five hundred of the town's 3,000 residents signed a petition seeking his removal; District Attorney John W. Carney is seeking the interim suspension.
