Some great journalism here:

quote:

A man in Houma was killed Tuesday night by police gunfire.


quote:

According to sketchy initial information, the incident occurred on the 100 block of Agnes Street on Houma's east side. Houma City Police responded to an incident there at about 7 pm, said Louisiana State Police Trooper Jesse LaGrange, whose agency is handling the investigation


quote:

State Police and the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office were called to assist.

Under circumstances still not publicly disclosed a Houma officer shot the man. The other agencies were not involved with the shooting.



A law enforcement source said the man had fired at police first but neither LaGrange nor Houma Police Chief Dana Coleman would supply details, so the claim could not be confirmed. No police officers were injured, Coleman said.

"The LSP Bureau of Investigations and LSP Crime Lab will work to ensure all the facts are gathered and a thorough investigation is done," LaGrange said. "This is an active investigation in the early stages."

well in all fairness, hes not in the supply business. Could've provided some details to the incident though. That would've been nice.

NEW YORK CITY?!!...get a rope.

I mean, high school paper journalists can blow this guy out of the water. This article looks like a piss-poor attempt at pioneering a 'modern casual style' of writing...including poor use of context and vocabulary...like a 5th-grader's text message.

East Houma has rapidly declined in the last decade. It was kind of shitty in the 90's when i lived but much worse now.

anecdotal evidence that living in Louisiana can actually make a person of normal intelligence dumber.

I left in 01 and never looked back.
Occasionally my work takes me there but I don't visit or get nostalgic, other than picking up a dozen of mr ronnies doughnuts for my brother on the way out of town.

Well a certain demographic will ignore this fact and simply blame police brutality.
