2020 LA Senatorial race: on Crime


Adrian Perkins: Police should have guard-in mindset, not military mindset

To the question of what the city is doing to ensure what happened in the death of Floyd does not occur in Shreveport, Perkins said, "I'm confident that I've set up a culture within our city to be respectful of our citizens. When I was running for office I talked about community-oriented policing and our police officers protecting our citizens and taking more of a guard-in mindset rather than a military type of mindset when engaging our citizens."

Adrian Perkins: Repealed "saggy pants" law targeting people of color

Lawmakers voted to repeal a 12-year-old ordinance banning pants that sag below the waist after outcry over the death of Anthony Childs, who was stopped by police for violating the law. "It is my opinion that while the ordinance was originally well-intentioned, it unfairly targets people of color," Perkins said. "Just like many initiatives in the war on drugs that we now realize are discriminatory against people of color, we've evolved to reach that understanding. And this is in that vein."
