The appointment for Shreveport Police chief is a shite show.

The 3 candidates submitted by the advisory board includes the 2 lowest grades and the 3rd highest.

Absent is the Interim Chief who scored the highest and has been running the department for almost a year. Shreveport is about to go even further down the drain.

Ben Raymond is white so he’s not qualified.

I’m sure I can guess what the #1 requirement for the job is.

I haven’t kept up with this, but is it similar to the BRPD police chief “search”?

If so, God help anyone in Shreveport that wishes to live in a civilized society. The Murphy Paul era has not been a good time for BRPD.

Well you have City councilmen and a sitting sheriff disagreeing with the boards recommendation and this morning the local news radio didnt seem happy with the advisory boards recommendation either.

He and SWB were sent by St George himself to usher in a new day of prosperity for the good folks of south Baton Rouge.

If it wasn’t for SWB and her friends, I don’t think St. George passes.

I could be wrong, but I expect it to pass with around 70%. Those morons are the best salesmen the SG movement could’ve ever dreamed of using.

But West Point, Honor Code, platoon leader, combat vet, Harvard, "quite the resume'". Will folks ever learn?

And Ben Raymond sounds like an intelligent dude on the radio when dealing with the BS.

I haven't paid any attention, but I thought he was the great savior for whites and blacks.

These inner city search committee's always seem to back the same type of character, and then the city goes to complete shite afterwards... wonder what the deal is?

What Perkins had to say during his insurance fiasco.

quote:

"There's actually minority participation right now with our insurance client. And we haven't had that in Shreveport for 40 years. So that's the reason why we switched up our negotiations," the mayor said to some applause.

I actually know and worked with Ben some years back and he is a great dude who is dedicated to his job. Real professional who has the proper background to run the department.

In other words, totally unsuited to be Chief since that is a job for a political hack with certain (ahem) qualifications that Ben clearly lacks.
