Shreveport cop who abused Angie Garbarino gets job back with pay...
Some of you may recall the national attention this case got back when it happened. The woman was found in a pool of blood after cameras monitoring the incident were cut off. She won a suit against the police department of $400,000.

The "police civil service board" re-instated Wiley Willis (the arresting cop) today with full back pay based on a "technicality". It appears a polygraph test was not properly reported and the claim was made that Willis' "bill of rights" had been violated. Based on this the cop was given his job back and all back pay since he was terminated.

Note: The "good-old-boy" network is alive and well in this southern town, by Gawd!!!

1. and it's exactly why all police are frowned upon
until they do what's right, most folks will not trust cops.

3. BREAK THE POLICE UNIONS!
"The police union scheduled a news conference this evening to praise the board's decision."

See, the police unions are a bullying force just as the police are.

BREAK THE POLICE UNIONS!
BREAK THE POLICE UNIONS!
BREAK THE POLICE UNIONS!
BREAK THE POLICE UNIONS!
