Ackal Is a One Termer

Crime Stoppers

Why did we all voted for Louis Ackal? Because we wanted - change - something different from the former administration. Ackal was perceived as a cowboy who would come in and kick some butt and get criminals off the streets.

What are we getting from Louis Ackal? Burglaries on a regular basis - even the Mayor's house has been burglarized twice (I wonder if that has anything to do with the new raise that Louis is seeking from the City); Cops on bikes assaulting and beating up civilians for the Sugarcane Festival; criminals attempting to kill cops. The list goes on and on.

The truth is that Louis hired a bunch of his buddy ex-state troopers and they're just collecting a check. The ex-troopers are lazy and all they do is praise Louis, tell him what a wonderful job he's doing and kiss up to him so they don't actually have to do anything.

Right now, it seems that Louis's only concern is how many magazines the former administration bought. Louis is more concerned with trying to get Sid than he is with the crime in this Parish.

" IF you think Louis is bad, just think what David Landry would be doing. The town was in a dire need at time of the election due to the former Sherrif's office. We could not take another 4 years of that mess. If you are bothered by Louis you must be doing something wrong. Our town needs good politicians not some who just want recognition and a pay check. You all need to understand you live with in a city of CLICKS---As long as you have what you want the leader is great but when you dont they stink "

" I thank those officers who put their lives on the line for me everyday. I would love to join the force and mend the fences between the citizens and the community. Unfortunately I can't help but to wonder if I will be obligated to my brothers and sisters in blue or to the community. I can't morally or ethically sit back and watch citizens get mistreated and not do or say anything. Not that it would happen or wouldn't happen but I refuse to put myself in that position. "

" Your knowledge is vital to the community. Of course I don't know your occupation, but why not contribute to the Law enforcement community by being a part of it (if you are not already, or are considering a future in it soon). Also, I don't think you need to fear law enforcement. Yes, there are bad apples on all departments and I hope those are served the justice they deserve! But, dedicated officers are willing to lay their life on the line every single day for you, me and all of us. "

Regardless, this person has gotten away with nothing. In prison or not, this will follow him to his grave. We also don't want the wrong person convicted of this horrid crime either. Caught or not, he's not getting away with it. All our deeds, good or bad, always catches up with us. "

Just an example of the incompetence which is in your department. This case is now cold and forgotten and will never to solved by your people in charge. Beware, there is a killer still walking the streets in New Iberia.
Aren't you afraid? I would be. And to the killer, you have gotten away with murder in New Iberia. "

" I don't know where some of you get your information, but in this man's opinion, I think Louis and his people are doing a great job. They caught the burglars who were terrorizing the citizens along Country Club Drive, caught the murderers of the pawn shop owner, have solved many other crimes, stifled burglaries in progress, busted drug dealers and in general have done what Mr. Ackal promised he would do. Anyone who thinks the crime rate allowed by Mr. Hebert would decline to zero in this short a time is deluded. "

" Why did you have to get 3 degrees in Criminal Justice? One suffices, don't you think? Or, are you an attorney or "wannabe one"? Regardless your point was well taken. Not all law enforcement officers behave the way you describe, but no one can deter the fact that there will always be bad apples. According to the news, there have been quite a few officers arrested for criminal activity and I say "BRAVO". Cleaning up, or weeding out the good from the bad in many job positions is not always as simple as you think. "

There are still a few bad apples left on the force, or should I say ex-NIPD that have joined since Ackal was elected. Oh and they also campaigned for him. These two that worked Narcotics for NIPD that took drugs and cash from drug dealers and let them go. Then turn around and sell the drugs for profit. Both live in big brick homes and drive new SUV's and have big bass boats. HMMMMM lots of expensive things for a cops-salary-don't-you-think? "

I've got news for you, THAT is one of the biggest reasons the entire NATION is understaffed in law enforcement, because they don't make squat, especially compared to the risk of putting their lives on the line.

Here's another news flash for you, Ackal is doing everything in his power to deter crime. If you can't see that, then you have bigger issues than a negative attitude!! "

I'd rather know early on what happened and when. I trust Ackal fully because he is a law officer down to the bone. Look at crime in Lafayette and elsewhere. Just stop complaining. What a moran! "

Right now as I see it, you are not doing anything to help the situation, and all you are doing is making matters worse because this causes animosity. There are seperate divisions with the sheriff's department. The ones writing tickets; that is there responsibility to the sheriff's department. The ones who go to different situations; thats their responsibility. If something happens to a family member of yours in a wreck, you will wonder where the officers were. "

It takes time. Any reasonable person will realize that. Those who don't, well, wake up to reality. Some people just love to complain because it keeps them content. I say, be content somewhere else.

In addition you can be as tough as nails on criminals, but when our justice system fails that handcuffs law enforcement. You want to point fingers. Point at your DA's and Judges. Law enfocement brings criminals to justice they don't prosecute and sentence them. Not all DA's and Judges are bad either. Like Law Enfocement their hands are tied by laws written by too many liberals. Take a true stand and stop electing liberals. "

Anyone with any common sense would know that cleaning up a city and parish is not something that happens overnight. The saying goes, it will get worse before it gets better holds true for Iberia Parish. Your former administration turned a blind eye to many illegal activities of which I won't get into. The former Sheriff himself once proclaimed that Iberia Parish did not have a drug problem. Now that you have a new Sheriff, it will take time. Give him that time. "

Anyone who knows someone in LE, ask-them! Get the truth! Ackal, just may be reporting ALL of the incidences that are happening, and there MAY really be NO increase in crime! BUT, if you really feel you NEED to know, look it up under the FBI Uniform Crime Reports {FBI-UCR}! It may be a little dated, but as up to date as possible! "

Criminals, crime and the like outnumber law enforcement everywhere. An excuse, I think not! A reality in law enforcement, absolutely! We are living in a parish where law enforcement officers have decreased and crime is always on the upside when that occurs. Now, the new Sheriff has added more officers but still the problem of more criminals exist. Pray for your law enforcement officers rather than accuse. "

Regardless of what you think how things need to be the focus, he will do what he has been trained and has the many years of experience to do to get things in order. It has to be line upon line or it won't work, period. Don't get me wrong, nothing is being ignored, just prioritized. "

Drugs are the worst thing New Iberia has going.It surly isn’t Murder.We have on average less than 2 or 3 per year.This past year has just been an exception.I am not even scared to go on the bad parts of town,they arn't that bad,especially compared to New Orleans,New York,or Los Angeles "

I also feel Sheriff Ackal is more concerned with trying to find something to arrest Sheriff Hebert for than he is about protecting the citizens who put him in office. "
