That officer didn't lie, he simply couldn't prove what was said. The DA's behavior has been shameful enough during this ordeal to erase any good he might have done either in the past or to come. Both Marvin and Sentell simply wanted to throw their collective weight around to demonstrate the "big fish in a little pond" mentality that runs rampant in that office and in the Bossier City Administration. It's a shame any of these officers had to suffer one second so that Marvin and Sentell could prove what big bullies they are...Afterall, you must be really tough to push around a 120lb woman. Such behavior from those we elect to uphold and protect the law is embarassing to say the least.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-16783423362662293052009-12-04T17:09:24.895-06:002009-12-04T17:09:24.895-06:00You're a little sensitive there anon, no one w...You're a little sensitive there anon, no one was slamming your buddy the DA.

He wanted more police/fire layoffs for some unknown reason. Citizens of Bossier please do not forget that the whole city administration is at fault! City council members voted on this budget every year. The fact that they were overspending is as much their faults as it is the mayor. 3 years is a long way away. Do not let the citizens forget that we need a complete overhaul of the city administration. The mayor and city councilmen all need to go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-85223443673028417112009-12-03T20:01:02.176-06:002009-12-03T20:01:02.176-06:00the officer that arrested sentell was fired today....the officer that arrested sentell was fired today. should be on the 10 news. can't believe they fired him right before Chritmas. <br /><br />So if an officer shoots someone it is investigated and he is cleared.

Like many I will probably never know what it must feel like to save somebodys life, fight for a cause bigger than myself, or do anything that would be considered extraordinary. <br /><br />When the news channels began to run stories that police officers and firefighters were to be laid off in Bossier City I was beside myself. Would our city suffer? Would we still enjoy the same lifestyle in terms of safety that we have always had in Bossier City? As a lifelong resident of Bossier City these were questions that I and many others had. In an effort to find out the answers to these questions, and to alson find out where "our" money went I decided to attend the city council meetings. the first couple of meetings left me with more questions than answers. It wasnt until the third and fourth meeting that I witnessed the real meaning of being a hero. While at the third meeting I attended I saw two young women who addressed the city council. These 2 women Heather Carter, and Carrie Moore both showed the true meaning of fighting for a cause. I can remember feeling scared for these women as they spoke, but at the same time feeling honored to be in the presence of 2 people that couragous. During the fourth council meeting I attended Krystal Brewton spoke, and also gave a moving speech. These are the kind of "real People" that I believe we expect to be elected to public office. It's a shame that they probably will never get the chance because they are not in the "good o'l boy" network or they dont have the big money backing them. Because these 3 ladies did things like gave news interviews constantly, started a Facebook page, and voiced there opionins at the city council meetings most of these jobs were saved. I do understand they did this because there husbands were slated to be laid off, but how many of us can say that we would wage war on the entire city government to save out loved ones job. All I can say is what an awsome example of courage and bravery. You ladies not only saved alot of jobs, but saved the citizens of this city from a situation that could have been devastating if these police and fireman would have been laid off. So for that you 3 are heros.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-3235067293652969542009-12-03T15:53:35.690-06:002009-12-03T15:53:35.690-06:00looks like the city is going to pick em off one by...looks like the city is going to pick em off one by one! <br />check the news- 2 officers one reserve and one officer that arrested Sentell fired today!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-61298997908300023792009-12-03T09:48:26.435-06:002009-12-03T09:48:26.435-06:00this is a great story :)this is a great story :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-63327061245151468572009-12-03T09:24:36.723-06:002009-12-03T09:24:36.723-06:00Thanks to Carrie Moore & Kristal Brewton.
