Shreveport - America’s Baghdad

Shreveport - America’s Baghdad

Only Worse

Here’s a little bit of information related to the Angie Garbarino arrest that seems to have been swept under the carpet…

It was revealed in one of the videotapes that after Angie was taken from the Shreveport Police Department room where she was “injured” - you know, from that “fall”, a police officer joked to a colleague about taking his picture lying near the pool of blood from Garbarino’s injuries.

A part of that tape of the encounter between Garbarino and police officer Wiley Willis, who was with her when she was injured, shows another officer make light of what happened after Garbarino was taken away on a stretcher and police officers and firefighters were the only ones in the room.

The officer in question took a picture of the blood with his cell phone, then joked about what happened.

“Let me lay down there beside it like it’s mine,” the officer said of the blood. “Take a picture so I can freak my kids out.”

The officer never got on the floor. It apparently was his sick idea of a joke.

Garbarino’s attorney called the incident “deplorable” and “insensitive”.
