WARNING: Shreveport - Bossier Planned Riots
Long Ranger Airmen:
There is HIGH RISK for violence to befall Shreveport-Bossier this weekend. The FBI has discovered multiple groups are calling for riots / violence against Law Enforcement Officers (LEO’s) this weekend. There are more than one million LEO’s serving our nation, many of whom are fellow Citizen-Airmen. Despite rare instances of bad policing, the facts as told by the US DOJ – over the past decade, crime rates and complaints of excessive use of force are DOWN…even among African-American males. These are the facts! Three requests from me to you…
- Be a calm, steady voice of reason. Do NOT propagate messages with a false narrative.
- If you are anywhere near a protest this weekend -- exercise extreme caution.
- Be safe! Keep your family safe! If you have minor children…KEEP THEM AT HOME!
Thank you for your continued service as an AMERICAN AIRMAN and the leadership you provide to a nation in need.
