NOPD watchdog Dr. Gallagher says DA Williams is reluctant to prosecute NOPD officers

from Newell Normand

Dr. Skip Gallagher, UNO Professor & NOPD Watchdog, joins Newell to talk about another case of an NOPD cop gone bad. Veteran New Orleans police officer Chad Cockerham has been fired for the second time in two months by Anne Kirkpatrick. He is accused of lying about his involvement in filing an anonymous complaint tied to a bogus cheating scandal that disrupted promotions within the New Orleans Police Department. The scandal had broader implications, even leading former mayor LaToya Cantrell to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights rather than testify.
