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.

Hunted alligators for a livin.
Just knock em in the head with a stump.

Block all of the bridges over the Red River, only out of state plates into Bossier City. Refer everyone to the Shreveport mayor. Just a security measure you understand. Forget to take down the security points after the rally. Shreveporters won’t be able to get to the casinos. Tell them to check with the Shreveport mayor.

This is my problem with the police. While we try to support them, they are, in the end game, just blind followers of whoever is in power. They have no integrity to put their jobs on the line to actually protect and serve “the people” as they are supposedly sworn to do.

Remember, the policeman themselves “chose” to leave a major venue and not perform the job they are paid and are sworn to do.

I realize it is just speculation BUT

Conjure up the image of the $hiite$torm that would arise had a WHITE Mayor in Southern City pulled the Security Forces from a BLACK President?

I’m having flashbacks of Kennedy’s car turning onto Elm Street.

God protect our great President and give him POWER as he speaks tonight. Amen

It comes down to legal responsibility vs moral responsibility.

It’s a unisex name. My grandpa had that name and so did my female principal.

Too many sane voters have left Shreveport proper. They’d just replace him with another Black Stalinist Demonrat.

I see in the picture that he is wearing an American flag. This couldn’t be further from the truth by this display.

Another liar to everyone including this countries real heroes, those that support the flag that he uses as a prop.

“Adrienne......Adrienne” real nice in the Fog. ...

As Andy Griffith once told Barbara Eden in The Manicurist, “I don’t think anybody would mistake you for a boy”.
