Recently there has been yet another complaint by a portion of the community in Iberia Parish about the use of force from the Police and Deputies. While I don't want to detract from legitimate complaints those of us in Law Enforcement are very aware of tactics used by violators and their relations.

Attack the police for doing their job and play down the responsibility of the perpetrator for the actions taken against him by the law.

Too many times I've seen and been involved in cases where the suspect is resisting the police with violence. When the police use force in kind to subdue him he cries foul. His family and friends cry foul. For some ridiculous reason they feel that it's okay to attack the police. They apparently believe that the police just have to take it. Wrong.

The crowd mentality. This one is lovely. "Hey! there's a bunch of us so the law doesn't apply" Wrong. When a crowd is becoming unruly and have been instructed by the police to disburse numerous times and they refuse to do so, don't be upset when mace canisters are deployed. You knew something was going to happen. You knew that something was likely to be mace and that someone was going to go to jail. If you got sprayed... shame on you for being there. You should've left when instructed to do so.

Lets not forget about this one. Well known drug dealer. Residents call and complain that nothing is being done about him. Police step up their scrutiny of the suspect and the community cries foul because the police are harassing him. Frequently making it a racial thing instead of it being a CRIMINAL thing.

A significant part of the crime that occurs in the late hours are by juveniles. This is well known by law enforcement officers. Police attempt to deal with the problem by enforcing curfew - FOUL. Picking on the community. "Hey... Let's make it a racial issue." - Sigh-

Oh lets not forget the elitist in the community. That's my kid and he's above the law. How dare the police handcuff him for fighting in a bar that he's too young to be in anyway. "I'm a councilman and I'm going to have that officers job."

Here's one... I've lived here for 30 years. You can't handcuff me for resisting. - Wrong.

The news media just LOVES to talk to disgruntled idiots and post they're comments as if they were the gospel truth. The media loves to make it look like the police are just a bunch of big meanies. In a future post I will put links to news articles illustrating this and I'll try to post the real story to go with it.

The joys of law enforcement.
