Armed robbery or burglary in Garden District 3 minutes from station. He's going to show up there right with the cops.

He was raised in Georgia.

From his LinkedIn:

I worked to uncover big stories, and hold the people paid by tax-payers accountable.

He was an arse to LE when they vigorously served a search warrant at the wrong house.

Unless the machine kicks in and tells him to STFU, he is going to use his bully pulpit to raise a little hell.

Hopefully. The media needs to call out cops for abusing their power more often.

cops seem really threatened by cameras.

he told an officer, “Hope you enjoy the rest of your career.”

The report says the officer took the comment to mean that Buffington would have the officer fired, so the reporter was then arrested and booked into the Parish Prison.


whoa. He was arrested and taken to prison because he said "hope you enjoy the rest of your career"?? Wow.

Americans seem to hate freedom these days.

I'm glad I didn't read this earlier today because when I came back through the Chevelle copper caper about fifteen minutes later I had my window down and while rolling by said "y'all don't have anything better to do?" I'm sure he memorized my license plate.

Sounds like the reporter didn't do anything illegal. BRPD is on a power trip,

The Advocate Facebook page is like 95% cop supporters of this situation. Am I taking crazy pills? Or are people of the mindset that the police should be able to do whatever they want...wow.
