?"We took this as a very viable threat," Dabadie said.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>?"We have received questions as to why we used such a show of force during weekend protests, this is why."
?
?East Baton Rouge Sheriff Sid J. Gautreaux said the discovered plot, coupled with the killing of five police officers in<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Dallas, led the department to<span style="color: Red;">*</span>highly<span style="color: Red;">*</span>equip its personnel<span style="color: Red;">*</span>for the protests.
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards said<span style="color: Red;">*</span>he remains pleased with the police response to protests in which nearly<span style="color: Red;">*</span>200 people were arrested.
The Democratic governor, who comes from a family of sheriffs, characterized the response as “moderate.”
Critics have questioned the riot gear and weaponry carried by police officers, saying it’s out of line with keeping protests from becoming violent. But Edwards pushed back against such suggestions Tuesday.
He referenced the shootings in Dallas<span style="color: Red;">*</span>and<span style="color: Red;">*</span>said police officers need to be able to defend themselves.
The governor said<span style="color: Red;">*</span>a Baton Rouge police officer had teeth knocked out with a rock thrown by protesters. He said that if officers don’t use riot gear, “you have no defense against that sort of thing.”
Meanwhile, a<span style="color: Red;">*</span>state representative from Baton Rouge says black community leaders want Louisiana’s attorney general to appoint a special prosecutor to handle any state investigation into Sterling’s shooting death.
Rep. Ted James says the attorney general’s office doesn’t have the level of expertise to do the investigation. He says the appointment of an outside prosecutor would depoliticize the work.
The U.S. Department of Justice has opened a civil rights investigation into Sterling's death.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore has recused himself, leaving Attorney General Jeff Landry to handle any state criminal investigation.
