I have second hand info given to my source from someone in the room that the deputy accidentally discharged his gun as he was holstering following the initial takedown of the deceased, who he was standing over.

I also know enough about the deceased to say he was far from an innocent angel and that he would be going to prison for a hot minute in any scenario that didn't end in his death.


What would he be going to jail for? Drug charges?

Justifiable homicide is perfectly legal.

but that's not what the 2nd hand source is describing... this deputy's life was not in danger, as evidenced that he was in the act of holstering his gun...

what he SHOULD get is negligible homicide, at the least, manslaughter, at the most... either way, this cop SHOULD face charges...

i'm all for supporting cops, and i know they have a very tough job, but they are not exempt from the law, and if any one of us were to accidentally discharge a firearm and kill someone, we'd have to face the music, so the same should be true for them as well...

Cops need more gun training. The vast majority that I know fire the minimum number of rounds required by their department. If you are going to carry a gun, and be the law, then you should be better at it than me.

Sounds like he is a pretty good shot.

Was that the only shot? Might it be that several shots were fired in close succession and he ended up at some point facing away?

Actually that’s exactly what homicide means by definition: the deliberate and unlawful killing of one person by another;

This is the first definition that comes up on Google, but it's not the legal definition of homicide.

Homicide is a legal term for any killing of a human being by another human being.


If homicide meant deliberate and unlawful, "justifiable homicide" and "negligent homicide" would be contradictory terms

It's homicide either way. It's just a matter of what type of homicide.

If he shot the guy while holstering, then yeah, that's definitely on the cop and he should be punished accordingly. The issue I have is calling this a straight up cold blooded murder with no evidence to support the claim.

duh, he was trying to roundhouse kick the officer and was shot during the spin. If that POS cop that murdered that white dude in Mesa AZ got off, I don't hold out hope for any cops going down.

Louisiana State Police has taken over the investigation.


They handled the case of the WBR deputy raping female motorists pretty well, so let's see where the chips fall on this one.

Absolutely none of this makes sense. Is it even English?

quote:

“Answers need to be had,” said Ron Haley, an attorney representing members of Richardson’s family. “You take a regular criminal case that comes forward, almost immediately you have someone that’s arrested. Almost immediately, someone is at the jail going through booking. If the district attorney or law enforcement has information to dispel to the public, they will immediately do so, but when you have situations like this, it seems the opposite when it involves law enforcement.”


Les Miles makes more articulate statements than this.

quote:

"He wasn't violent, that's for damn sure,” he said. “He wasn't violent. Very respectful, whatever he chose in life, he chose no different than the rest of us."

Richardson did have a criminal background. He had multiple drug arrests and in 2005 he was convicted of resisting an officer, battery of an officer, and simple battery.


He was a good boy!

And let’s not forget that it was just a few years ago that someone involved with WBRSO shot and killed his wife while cleaning his gun. Not a single charge filed.

Let's also not forget about the rich little hottie who killed the girl in New Roads during a DWI crash. She got time in the WBR lockup (as opposed to Pointe Coupee) as a trusty doing menial and clerical chores for the Sheriff.

And let the Gosserand chick (yeah, y’all remember her from New Roads) walk around the prison, doing whatever she wanted in regular clothes. And nothing came from it.

And had someone involved recently with multiple sexual assault claims. And nothing came from it.

And had an sex offender inmate doing work unsupervised at the sheriffs house. And nothing came from it.


There’s a few more things recently within the last few years that went on with WBRSO that I can’t think of right now.

That was a reserve Addis police officer. Not WBRSO.

ETA: That was the LSP investigating as well.

Let's just take weapons away from all law enforcement, give the criminals the benefit of the doubt. Most are law abiding citizens anyway. Split second decisions have to be made and if I'm a cop in these situations, I'd shoot everytime and suffer the consequences that comes with protecting and serving.

Where's the body camera interaction.

You would be a terrible cop. You would be in prison as well.
If you shoot someone in the back of the head, it is an execution every time. From what i hear, they are saying it was an accident. Which is the only defense he can take. It doesn't look good with the bullet being right at his skull and spinal cord. That would be a perfect shot.
