    FURIOUS! Neighbors called the police because this teenage boy had on loud music. He never touched or threatened this officer in ANY way. The officer, Gary Thomas, was fired from @ShreveportPD last year after he was arrested for felony domestic violence...but got his job back.pic.twitter.com/h2iyDX7eEc

    Violent Shreveport Louisiana Cop Threatens Kid Over Loud Music
    This cop, Gary Thomas, was previously fired from the force after being arrested and charged with felony domestic violence. They rehired him. Now we get a glimpse of who this man truly is.

        Here is when Officer Gary Thomas of the @ShreveportPD was actually fired by the police department for domestic violence. This was just 9 months ago and came after a full hearing. Then, of course, they hired him back. Now he's out being brutal again.https://www.ktbs.com/news/spd-officer-with-pending-criminal-charges-is-fired/article_c2b69c6e-7ee1-11e7-81de-3f109f7f375d.html …

        Been raising hell about this for yrs. From now on whenever you read about brutality settlement or a payout because a cop murdered a citizen, ask the reporter to identify the insurance company that paid the claim. I just asked this reporter to do so.http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/daily-southtown/news/ct-sta-oak-lawn-settlement-st-0217-20170216-story.html …

        Just emailed him a few minutes ago. Activists should start making it SOP, demand to know which companies enable cops who kill & brutalize citizens. Hit Palm Beach, FL w/a couple hundred million in settlements with no liability insurance, the couldn’t fire these cops fast enough.

        I got an answer: "The insurance companies that paid out the settlement in this (Chicago PD) case were Argonaut Insurance Company and Trident Insurance Services, LLC".

        Wonder how many settlements this company has paid out for them.. We need to establish a Database on how many settlements these departments kick out to show a continuation of abusive force..

        Honestly, are we that deprived for police officers in a police state that we hire those who wouldn’t pass a background check for mall security?

        There are plenty of great cops out there, but the issues are deeply systemic & real.

        There are some good police officers. I will always be grateful to the South Bound Brook, NJ police department for arriving at my home within two minutes of me calling 911. Respectful and caring. - This officer is a disgrace but the powers that be that rehired him...

        If they don’t speak up, they aren’t “good officers”. They’re complicit.
