re: Have there ever been riots in Baton Rouge?

A good friend of mine, now deceased, was the first law enforcement responder, an EBRP Sheriff's Deputy. He always told the story that he had just left his mother's, where he left his automatic rifle behind inadvertently. He said that had he had it with him, instead of only his service revolver, there would have been no riot as there would have been no rioter left standing.
