I know that we don't always have good cop stories.

This is pretty cool. I love when kids with illnesses get a wish granted.

quote:

J.J. Walker, an 11-year-old fighting a serious brain cancer called diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, or DIPG, got the full treatment from troopers at state police headquarters. He received an LSP Commission and had a trooper uniform outfitted with a gold badge.

Troopers took J.J. on a vehicle pursuit and traffic stop and helped him perfect his firearms skills. They also took him on a trip to the state capitol and Governor Bobby Jindal's office






On top of this....

quote:

But J.J. isn't the only lucky boy this week. As part of its LSP Grant-A-Wish Program, state police this weekend also plan to grant a 12-year-old's wish of a trip to Disney World.

Did he get to shoot a dog, pass out inspection sticker tickets, or other important law enforcement tasks?

If not, not legit.

Kudos to LSP. They deserve appreciation and reverence on this one.

If the kid beats cancer, those cops will shoot his dog.

Honestly I've never had an issue with LSP or ebr sheriffs. They've let me off multiple times and have been nice.

BRPD is the only department I've ever had negative interactions with

I haven't had too much interaction with Troopers but by all accounts they conduct themselves as professionals and treat people with respect.

Probably because you usually don't become a trooper without a 4 year degree or military experience.

The brave young man had his family there to look on. They look especially proud of him.
