In the post: Firefighters arrived and initially observed that the man did not appear to be in distress. However, emergency crews were
called back to the river shortly after noon. At approximately 12:07 p.m., firefighters were notified that the man needed assistance getting out of the water. The Shreveport Fire Department is working to
reach and remove him from the river.

And when the dumbass drowned, his family would have sued the hell out of first responders for not going out and getting him back on shore.

They’re skittish about the river since those five kids drowned on the Shreveport side at one time a few years back.

I wonder if this guy made it past the new bridge construction site.

I hope there's video of him asking "am I being detained?"

He was just traveling.

No duty to protect = no winnable lawsuit

They know this. Cases like this are just a flex by some power tripping a-hole.

Green Jeans probably arrested him because he didn't have the appropriate running lights attached to his craft. Also no boat license.
