Landry needs to go on the offensive here and get the legislature to pass a new law to update the minimum sentence for possession of a stolen firearm to a minimum of 4 years. We may have to build new prisons, but we will quickly take crime off the streets


Absolutely this is the type of stuff that needs to happen. I’m as pro gun as anybody, but I wasn’t wild about getting rid of concealed carry because a lot of times that would give some probable cause to dig into some of this.

That’s not what I said at all. My point is do you expect someone who has worked with these kids his whole career to not have that perspective?

I also said in multiple post I was 100% on board with what Gov said and what Sid said before that statement about drawing a line in the sand and arresting everyone - everyone is nitpicking his last statement but I think two things can be true here

quote:

The time and place for this mentality has passed. Sorry. They had their chance. You want to present yourself as a thug, you should suffer the consequences. It should be near impossible for these guys to even step foot out of their home without law enforcement harassing them.


See, I agree with you. Knowing Sid, that’s not what he was aiming at. It was far more generalized of a statement than that situation.

Again, knowing what was coming from the governor, this is classic good cop bad cop Sid himself said a version of the same exact thing earlier in his talk. We need to sit back and judge all of this on what actually happens not get wrapped up in every little thing or everyone’s demeanor in a press conference.


I’m 100% in favor of busting every head possible in the parish and shutting this shite down

He should have pointed out how whack our priorities are. Perfect opportunity. Instead the idiot came out all gleeful said it would save lives


He just made the largest investment in BRPD pay ever with the goals of keeping good cops and erasing the manpower shortage. Which was actually his second attempt after first attempt with different funding getting voted down.

You can nit pick all you want but you can’t say he isn’t doing something.

I am 100 on board with the anger but look at the facts. Could more or something else be done? Sure - I think you will see that but size of force and compensation was a huge hurdle he got us over.

The damage of Murphy Paul and Broome that thinned the ranks can’t be understated
I agree. Can someone explain to me the structure that sets these “play” judges up?

This is first I’ve heard of this
Did you not pay attention to what he said right before that?

Given his background why would you expect him not to say something like that? His statement and Jeff Landry’s are both 100% correct.

Earlier in the talk he made it clear with his line in the sand and targeting certain people remarks.

We need action, they already passed the largest police raise and made BR a leader in pay now - solving a serious issue causing us not to have enough cops.

I want to see actions not just words that make me feel good. The combo of Sid and Landry will be good for BR. Classic good cop/bad cop.

Truthfully he’s not wrong - tons of kids out there would never do something like this but will be branded as such based on appearance or where they live. Given Sid’s background it’s not surprising he says this and is the responsible thing to say - knowing what’s coming up next in the speeches and what he said himself 2-3 min before.

Landry has the right mindset - we just need it in action. I think you will see this be a catalyst for much needed change.

For the record Sid is nothing like AOC that alone is laughable. You either don’t pay attention, don’t know him or have some sort of political derangement.

I’m behind Landry and Sid on this - our real issues is the criminal justice system and judges etc.
Did you see where Sid put forth the plan to pay police finally? It passed earlier this week!

If you are mad about sidewalks bc of money spent you should be happy about this.

BRPD will finally be a leader in pay , I’d suspect officers come back that left for other places along with making it much easier to recruit new recruits.

Sid is trying to clean up Broom's mess still. He has a lot to fix and needs to be positive about his police department in the public sphere.


Broome and dipship Murphy Paul destroyed BRPD

This is classic good cop bad cop by Sid and Landry.

I’m in. Let them work on their own task and there will be a difference made

I feel like I remember someone buying up the land for a big development to link downtown and LSU int he Kip era of downtown growth but not sure what happened.

You fricking idiots defending this pick can frick off


Hahaha it’s not that serious.
I would imagine the big police pay raise that’s coming is gonna be up the force they have been under manned for years on top of all the damage Broome did in neutering their ability to police. I like the new chief and now he finally will have the tools in an administration that will support to do the job.

Microsoft has dropped the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate from $29.99 per month to $22.99 per month, while PC Game Pass is being reduced from $16.49 per month to $13.99 per month. Both changes are effective immediately. Meanwhile, new Call of Duty games will no longer be included as day-one releases in either service, and instead will be added "during the following holiday season (about a year later)," according to Microsoft. Call of Duty games that are already part of any tier of Game Pass are unaffected by this change.


Awesome - I liked the direction the new CEO is taking
So talk me through this process...

My understanding is I would need Plans before I get quotes. I assume house plans don't have to be from true architect vs some of these guys who do house plans or is that the same?

Soldier’s Creek in Elberta, AL

My wife’s family lives along the Gulf coast down there and usually Good Friday, my brother-in-law and I will play a round.

Last year we did Perdido Bay and this year meeting up at Solider’s Creek

Anyone play it? How is it?
Good for him! Hope this works out. We need more public courses and I don’t see them building a new one somewhere else to replace it
