SHREVEPORT La. -- Caddo Sheriff Steve Prator and City Councilman Grayson Boucher say they confirmed that Shreveport Mayor Adrian Perkins pulled city police resources out of assisting with security for President Trump's rally for GOP gubernatorial candidate Eddie Rispone.

And they say it left the U.S. Secret Service in a lurch.

Boucher said after an SPD officer informed him on Wednesday morning, he sought confirmation outside the SPD.

"I was told by several members of law enforcement that this was true. That at about four o'clock yesterday afternoon, the mayor contacted the Secret Service and said we would no longer be participating," Boucher said.

The Louisiana legislature is heavily Republican. They can and should use state funds to show this sleaze bag mayor that the Presidents safety is worth more than the money the state sends to Shreveport.

That would be a hoot.

If the left tries anything stupid, well, it would give this old right wing female great joy if President Trump were to declare martial law, call in the armed forces to enforce martial law and convene military tribunals to deal with the leftists and other assorted traitors that have defiled this country.

Enough!!

Well... I’m a bit defensive in that point because I gave one of my daughters my grandpa’s name for a middle name. She absolutely hates it. Says it’s a boy’s name and I did it only to appease my grandma. She’s right regarding the second point. This daughter was baby # 3 and my grandma firmly believed that no one should have more than two kids. I can’t express how strongly she felt about that. Looking back I shouldn’t have cared what she thought; she was wrong.

I’m so disappointed in my weak self that I have to believe Adrian is a lovely girl’s name as well.

The town the rally was in apparently didn’t have a large enough staff. Obviously the SPD was originally to provide at least some security. The time to deny that, would have been when the administration first notified them of the president’s visit.

Even though the Dallas PD was escorting JFK, they couldn’t protect him from the deep state Feds.
