Last month, the Shreveport Municipal Fire and Police Civil Service Board voted to reinstate Willis on the police force. He'll get full back pay and benefits for the year-and-a-half he was fired. The reason? During the internal investigation of Willis, a polygraph machine operator failed to record the results of his Q&A with Willis. This apparently is a violation of Louisiana's "Police Officer's Bill of Rights," a set of guidelines every department must follow when investigating officer misconduct. [More]You remember Willis...he's the big brave "Only One" who really knows how to treat a lady:
Artificial government-declared privileges (aka "Police Officer's Bill of Rights") trump your unalienable ones. At least the government in Shreveport seems to think that.
That's why "The police have the power to suspend your rights" advocate Cedric Glover is a proud member of Mayors Against (Your) Guns.
