Note: Lafayette Consolidated Gov't is a combination of Parish Gov't and City Gov't. It was established about 50 years ago to save money.

The City Police patrol the city parks, but the NAACP seems to think the Park Police would do a better job of stopping murders.

That is what the NAACP thinks...

In a sense, the NAACP is asking for more Police, just not 'regular police' such as City Police Officers...

Yes, what about those youth who use guns to vent anger? That is a bigger problem than the quantity of police at a public park.

You gotta fight for your right to party.

The police would only be targets and if they do their job, would be in the wrong. Without looking, I assume this is a black gang run park.

She said Park Police, before they were disbanded by Mayor-President Josh Guillory, kept tabs on social media and took steps to break up unauthorized parties at local parks.

As a distant observer, I can’t fathom how confused, contradictory and irresponsible the left and democrats are.

Blacks themselves are responsible, because they need to OPEN THEIR EYES to the destructive neo-marxist propaganda being foisted on them. Their public officials, and cultural leaders have nearly all lined-up behind the leftist BLM nonsense.

Two teenagers who died in a shooting at an unauthorized party at Moore Park this weekend might still be alive if the park police were still operating, said Marja Lyn Broussard, president of Lafayette's NAACP chapter. Broussard said a police officer was called to a party of 200-300 youth at the park.

A no-win situation. Had the Park Police come out to break the party up it would have been reported as a racist assault on black youth, and the rioting and looting would have followed.

The compromise is obvious: park social workers.
