My unsolicited advice would be to remember what my Pappy always advised me: "Don't wrestle with pigs...You will get dirty, and the pig will like it." I hope that especially Carl Richard and his family will remember this advice. He is the most qualified by far; therefore, the scared supporters of his opponents are hitting below the belt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-33167299951667617702011-03-20T07:29:55.533-05:002011-03-20T07:29:55.533-05:009:47,

I know of a guy right now that leads a lot of people that is an excellent speaker, but knows nothing about running a country.<br /><br />I was a humored by austin's comments defending himself as being one of the good ole boys that the good ole boys cleaned up bossier city and the strip. He went on to say how shreveport use to be the safe place to go, now its the opposite...don't go to shreveport. I suppose he really believes this fallacy, however if you look at the bigger picture its quite obvious the demographics have changed dramatically in the last 30 years. It reminds me of New Orleans/Metarie area...where the "has" moved to Metarie and out of new orleans where the housing market became old and the people with money moved to metarie. The Bossier police are not more qualified or better managed than the Shreveport police-they are pulling from the same pool of folks in the area with comparible compensation packages. <br /><br />I guess if you want to take credit for a fine police force you have to take credit for some of the outrageous stuff that has gone on with BCPD, like shocking prisoners into confessions with a cow prod-if u don't believe that happened do your homework, the guys were sent to federal prison after the city tried to cover it up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
