Well, yet again, the cops are refusing to serve the public, shocking.
Frank, the whole story is misleading. The cops are not refusing to serve the public, as Breitbart tries to snooker people into believing. The cops are refusing to volunteer to cover the games, and we don't know if that means all of them or some of them. They are NOT refusing an assignment, and if duty called them to an incident at a game, they would undoubtedly respond. Years ago, when I worked on an ambulance, some of us not scheduled for a shift on Friday or Saturday night, used to cover the auto races. We were not paid for the service and it was voluntary. I suspect that's what is the issue in this case too. I don't know about Louisiana football games, but Michigan auto racing pits are just that, the pits. Not a fun gig.
I know the cops in Fla. have threatened to stop protecting Beyonce's fat ass!
Willow, for all I know there may be cops in Florida that would refuse to protect YOUR ass too, IF it were voluntary that is. But for you and Beyonce, it ain't voluntary and any cop on duty refusing to honor his oath to Serve & Protect could probably be charged. However, this blurb concerns off-duty volunteering, and the opinion expressed by the spokesperson is that..an opinion about what 'some' officers 'may' do.
From the article: My understanding is, we’ve had some officers that said they will not work the Bonnabel High football games,” Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand told
FOX8 New Orleans who first reported the story.
