I am appalled! This is so far over disgusting - that it leaves me lost for words. I do not believe there is punishment enough for someone who has done what this police officer has clearly done! God Bless this poor lady, and I pray she has no further run ins with the police of Shreveport! It appears she is lucky to have survived the first time! There is nothing she could have possibly done that would have deserved this type of cruelty being inflicted upon her. I too believe the officer must have a problem with the size of his penis, and he has decided to take it out on women! I'd love to see him take on a man his size also. I bet he's a huge coward!

Glover the Mayor of Shreveport about this incident requesting Henry Whitehorn Shreveport's chief of police should step down if he had any common decency. Glover replied back in a matter of minutes. Here is Mayor Cedric B. Glover response, "One thing more common than decency is idiocy, and you sir, have it in Aces." It is really not kind of answer I was expecting. I figured if he would respond at all it would be with some canned form letter written by the city's PR person. Mayor Glover's response concerns me. His response gives a subtle indication that he thinks the actions by Shreveport's police officers were justified in this matter. And one more aspect of this incident which strikes me odd. Why hasn't the Attorney Generals Office of Louisiana been more proactive into looking into this case. Doesn't anyone have any rights at in Louisiana? Out of the 45 web sites I have looked at today, there is no mention of the LA AG anywhere. I am appalled as well that the police officer committing the act of violence on this woman was not prosecuted. Thanks for turning me onto this news topic! I emailed Cedric B.

All of these assholes should have been fired - or at least everyone that was aware of the situation and tried to cover it up - and their supervisors. The sad representation of law enforcement in the United States is not limited to Shreveport. There really are some excellent police officers out there - the problem is that the bad ones are not dealt with harshly, or swiftly, enough. If this girl had come out of my house looking this way, I'd be in jail. But, a cop gets suspended with pay. WTF? I'm not sure about the white sheets and pointy white hats though. This doesn't seem to me, on the surface, as race related. Seems more like a cop really pissed off about the size of his penis. I'd like to see him try this on a man his size, and without the handcuffs of course.

Just makes one wonder if the guys wearing the badges in Shreveport, LA have an after hours party dressing up in white sheets and pointy white hats.
