This is what prioritizing public safety looks like.

Government exists to protect its citizens, and confronting rising criminal behavior requires more officers and stronger support. Unless you live under a rock, you know there is a need for far more police officers in the killing fields of Baton Rouge.

Paying police a fair living wage honors those who stayed the course and ensures we can recruit the next generation willing to serve.
Life is nothing more than a series of trade offs. No one can have it all.

We make our choices and then we live with the consequences.
I can solve this problem over night.

Immediately amend the penalty for resisting an officer (lawful orders). The revised statute should allow an offender to be booked without bond, followed by a bench trial the next day solely to determine guilt or innocence on the resisting charge. Upon conviction, the offender would serve a mandatory minimum sentence of six months in jail without eligibility for suspension, parole, or good-time reductions.

The problem is this will never happen because there is a certain class of politicians that build their power on continuing to stoke the flames of long passed oppression and racism.

We are all shaped by our childhood, either by the stability we were given or the trauma we had to survive. Some carry heavier burdens, and those burdens don’t just disappear with age.

Gary’s upbringing was far different from ours. He lost his mother to suicide, his father wasn’t present, and he was raised by his grandparents. That kind of instability leaves lasting marks.

While hardship can explain behavior, it does not excuse becoming an angry, entitled, and constantly confrontational adult who refuses to grow, work, and function alongside others. At some point, personal responsibility has to take over.

Gary is nothing more than an angry child who never got answers. The sooner we ignore him, the sooner he can finally face his own insecurities and grow up.

Until then Gary and his followers will always be the victim, never the villain. Always offended, never ashamed. You know the type.

Great work by the dedicated men and women of law enforcement who choose to put themselves in harms way to protect others.

I don’t disagree with the possibility of this.

My point is when you hear gunfire or are asked to respond to the area to investigate, you usually would not announce your presence or respond with a loud arse siren.

The implication that law enforcement was not responding simply because of the lack of sirens is both flawed and insulting.

But I get it, everyone’s an expert.

If no one was hit, they are likely responding discretely so they can attempt to CATCH the responsible parties.

Law enforcement isn’t the problem in this country.
As tragic and sad as this young Officers death is, it should have never happened for several reasons.

Escorts for funeral processions are an outdated practice that take massive unnecessary risk. Law enforcement leadership needs to outlaw the practice.

I am sure it’s financially lucrative to these brave motor men, but we can’t let them continue to kill themselves for a few extra coins in their pockets.

I voted for this.

Good job.
Resisting an officer would be fast-tracked through the court system, with bench trial held immediately.

If someone is found guilty of resisting a lawful arrest or lawful detainment, the sentence would include a mandatory minimum of six months in jail—served in full, without suspension, parole, or good-time reductions.

Clear, certain consequences would dramatically reduce hostile encounters and assaults on law enforcement. When accountability is swift and consistent, respect for lawful authority increases and unnecessary use-of-force incidents decline.

Unfortunately, serious proposals like this are often overshadowed by political narratives that prioritize division over solutions.
He’s not NEARLY as popular as he thinks he is.

Go sit down kid, the adults are speaking.

As a Baton Rouge cop, I always recommend friends and family park at the first turn on River Road and State Capitol Drive.

You’ll catch the parade shortly after it starts. Toward the end of the route, delays can happen due to breakdowns, slow-moving floats, or other issues.

There’s free parking on River Road (west side) and in lots near the Capitol Annex, Pentagon Barracks, and Claiborne Building.

When it’s over, head north on River Road to Chippewa and jump on I-110—you’ll usually clear out with very little traffic.

This is especially ideal for folks coming from Central, Zachary, or North Baton Rouge.

Stay safe. We look forward to seeing you out there.

Imagine the difficulty prosecutors face when convening a jury for a criminal trial in East Baton Rouge.

The same community that is always the first to scream they want police accountability has to be willing to support it unilaterally, even if the defendant looks like they do.
I long for a world where people put as much of an emphasis upon the observance of the law as they do upon its enforcement.

Great job to the men and women that were willing to risk their lives and do their part to hold this resisting criminal accountable.

Cleve raises funds to cover all program costs, ensuring there are no out-of-pocket expenses for participating students.




This did not age well, but no one is surprised. You can only fake it for so long. We are who we are in this world.

You will never convince that these people aren’t all losers in life, social outcast, who lack anything remotely redeeming worth pursuing.
