1988

I was there. White girl wanted some dope. Black guy wanted her money with no dope in return. White girl shot black guy.

All hell broke loose. The Shreveport police chief ( white guy from Ohio) decided that black people just need to riot to let off steam. Business owners said 'WTF.'

Police chief was fired. Ah, those were the days.

I don't think so. But I recall she was kind of cute. Short, petite, country western, with an IQ of about 80.

Yes, but it mixes with a memory of Denny's. Does that ring a bell?

Pretty sure the lady was convicted of manslaughter.. How much time she did..I've got no clue.. I was in middle school during that time and had a bunch of friends who got time off because the magnet school was in the middle of the Grove. Probably the first time I consciously watched the news on purpose
