Angry sheriff demands community 'wake up' after suspect shot by deputy

The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office found drugs, guns and bullets in the vehicle driven by a 25-year-old Algiers man who was shot and killed by deputies on Monday in Algiers.

Desmond Willis was killed during a shootout on Manhattan Boulevard in Harvey. The shooting came as officers tried to arrest him following a traffic stop.

An angry Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand said Willis was part of an ongoing drug investigation. He started a news conference about the incident with a video of Willis talking about shooting police officers. Normand said the video speaks for itself and discredits what Willis' family said about him being good. "Now, not to be insensitive, but I'll be damned if this office is going to stand by and have its reputation impugned by people when this video is out there trying to pollute the minds of our youngsters in the community day in and day out," Normand exclaimed.

In the video, Willis said "f*** cops" and made references to drugs and running away from police.

Tuesday, Willis' grandmother tried to discredit claims by the JPSO that he was involved in criminal activity.

"Desmond was not a bad child and ain't nobody going to label him as a bad child and I'll tell that to the damn police," Barbara Jackson said.

The sad thing is, blacks are the ones who are going to get royally screwed if and when the dookie hits the fan. Because the liberal elites will hang them out to dry, and regular whites will have no sympathy for them.

Things have been getting worse since the aftermath of Katrina. We feel it here on the Northshore.

The elites don’t care, they’re just pawns.

It wasn’y always like that. Before Katrina, the WB was a good place, and fairly safe place to live. I know, I lived there for 22 years.

After Katrina, when all the “lower” income housing was underwater, people moved to the WestBank.

Now, I’m not saying they are the cause of the rise in crime, but...

And there is the reason he was bad and the reason he's now dead. Way to go, grandma!

Yes, she saw how Trayvon Martin’s parents made coin over his death, so she wants her chance at fame and fortune.

They are always aspiring rap artists. There must be an incredible market for this since there are so many just a few swear words away from fame and fortune.

Already happened here in NJ; they have no more law enforcement in the welfare hatcheries due to the racial politics of crime and the lack of funding, and when they stray from the reservations they end up in encounters with police.

There is probably no place where segregation is worse than NJ; it is the natural outcome of having two groups so far apart culturally. The mass influx of Asians and Hispanics is simply used to create a buffer zone between them.
