| St. Landry Parish Louisiana police Captain Clay Higgins resigns |
| 2016-03-01 |
| [Mail] A Louisiana police captain who taunted members of a local gang in a tough-talking video has now resigned. Clay Higgins, based in St Landry Parish, addressed seven wanted men accused of being gang members in the clip and told them they would be hunted and tracked. He announced he had chosen to leave his job during a news conference on Monday. 'I wasn't forced to resign, the sheriff didn't ask for my resignation. But I turned in my badge as a matter of conscience,' he said. Higgins then said he had decided to resign because sheriff Bobby Guidroz had given him orders he could not follow. |

| #6 It is very likely that the comments Higgens made would have prejudiced any trials involving the St. Parish police department. |

| #4 Yeah, sounds like somebody called the sheriff, probably multiple parties, like Hollywood complaining that their pretty action movie boys look bad in comparison to his video. |

| #3 I would guess there are some good jobs in Texas, looking for a man just like him. |

| #1 Higgins then said he had decided to resign because sheriff Bobby Guidroz had given him orders he could not follow. One might suspect the Sheriff's 'order' was likely an instruction that Captain Higgins provide a public apology to the thugs and their families. The ACLU wins and we lose a fine policeman. |
