Police Abuse Endemic Throughout Region

Jeffrey and Varg both blogged today about the case of Randy Bibb, a tour guide arrested and abused by an NOPD office for no reason.

What about the case of James Williams?



He was arrested and assaulted by a Jefferson Parish cop, seemingly for being a black man in a car with a white woman. I don't believe the Times-Picayune has covered the Williams case.


Oh and let me also offer kudos to Councilman James Carter for his work creating an independent police monitor along with Robert Cerasoli. That position could be staffed within a few months. (If I'm not mistaken)
