Deputy, dad of 2 shot dead after Louisiana courthouse tussle with arrestee who reached for cop’s gun

A sheriff’s deputy was killed, while another officer is fighting for his life after the pair were shot in a struggle with an arrestee inside a Louisiana courthouse Monday evening, authorities said.

Deputy Charles Riley, a six-year veteran with the Iberville Parish Sheriff’s Office and a married father of two, was fatally shot during a tussle with a man accused of sexual assault who tried to grab his gun, according to Louisiana State Police.

Riley was interviewing the suspect — Latrell Clark, 27 — alongside Capt. Brett Stassi Jr., the son of Sheriff Brett Stassi, inside the Plaquemine courthouse building that houses offices for local government and the sheriff’s department, according to cops.

Clark was being booked in a sexual assault case when he tried to snatch one of the officers’ firearms, state police said.

A few rounds were fired, but it’s unclear if they came from the same gun and who fired the shots.

Reports indicated the suspect was fatally shot during the struggle.

Clark was fatally shot during the altercation, authorities said.

The two officers were both critically injured and rushed to a nearby hospital, where Riley died. Stassi Jr. is in critical but stable condition, according to the sheriff’s office.

“We’re all just stunned and distraught; this just doesn’t happen here,” Iberville Parish Deputy Ronnie Hebert told the Shreveport Times.

“The violence must end,”

I remember what Rush said about the L A riots. He said its is not that the violence must stop, it is that the violence must be stopped.

I still say we need to target the deep state players who instigated the cultural downfall and the moral rot of our black population.

Doesn’t take a genius to see who started it all. It’s the deep state cabal, dummies!

“this just doesn’t happen here”
-

Unfortunately, there is no more “it doesn’t happen here” anymore......there is now only, it can happen anywhere.

-

A sad but all to real commentary on the deterioration of our society as a whole.

I carry everywhere.

” Latrell Clark” I wonder what “flavor” he is. Oh that’s right. I don’t want to be labeled a raciss.

After watching EVERY episode of Live PD and On Patrol Live, I can say that about 80% of the perps are of this same flavor, while only 14.4% of the population. Why is that?

Can we draw any conclusions from those statistics?

Not if you want to be labeled a racist and cancelled. It doesn’t fit the narrative the dims want that they love the minorities and all humans.

I agree.

Sadly, many blacks (and others) are susceptible to disinformation based on False Witness, which is designed to make blacks Covet the good fortune of others, and act violently on that negative desire.

We should target those that destroyed the civil advancement that blacks and others have made.

In the courthouse.
Was this guy not cuffed?

Why report he “attempted” to grab the gun when obviously the perp succeeded in getting ahold of a weapon and firing it
Or was this something else, friendly fire hit an officer while trying to stop Clark?

Stupid reporting - RIP the to the officers.

LBJ was a major player but alas Satan has him already.

Murder rates were steady about 4 to 5 per 100,000 citizen during the 1950’s all the way until 1965 when they began a steady increase to almost 9 per 100,000 by 1970. This was right after LBJ’s great society act was implemented in 1965.

Perhaps. But that doesn’t explain why blacks commit a disproportionate amount of violent crime in the United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden, Italy etc.

I’m thinking friendly fire?
