Capt. Clay Higgins Resigns

[Pat Babaz]

Does anybody know any details on why Clay Higgins aka Cajun John Wayne resigned from the St. Landry Sherriff's Office? I saw his press conference, but he didn't get into specifics.

He made a video related to some gang members they are after. So says he caught a lot of crap over it. Don't know the whole story.

The link I posted kinda gives both sides of the story.

Need more guys like him out there.

From what I read, he called the gang members animals, thugs, and heathens. The aclu objected to that. My own thoughts are that they put enough pressure that sheriff guidros may have ordered Higgins to apologize and he decided he wouldn't sell out to gang members or the aclu.

My thoughts exactly !

Makes me wonder if the criminals now days have as much or more rights/leverage than the people who try and live right. Very sad ... Oops ... Wait ! They do !

We live in a way too politically correct world now days in my opinion.

Most of our grand parents I'm sure are well disappointed !

Exactly. It's a reality check of the country we've created.

This and I think he was told to tone it way down going forward.

Sad Day..

Guidros may be thinking way ahead here, like clearing the way for re-election time? No obstacles in the way-no issues to deal with. Sad times when even the slightest hint of disfavor from minority groups sends us running like the sheep we've become.

damn crying shame!

I love Capt. Higgins's mission and videos. He will be sorely missed. But...after seeing the news reports, it looks like more of a power struggle thing between Higgins and the Sheriff than pressure from the ACLU.

Sometimes you can overstep your boundaries at work even though what you are doing is right and just.

I don't know any details but the Sheriff should have been backing him 100% from the start and standing with Higgins in those videos!

My 2 cents..

The "agentic state" is where most of us live nowadays, and Capt. Higgins did a good job of fleeing the stronghold and avoiding it.

[cgoods17]

what about all of the town's leaders that were standing behind Higgins in the gang video?

if they were backing him up and supporting his message in the video, why are they not standing by and backing him up now?

this is unreal..

He better hope Higgins doesn't run for sheriff. If I were him I would.

Do you think he could win?
