UPDATE: 29 august 2010 gannett/the town talk:Warrant issued for bank robbery suspectmark h. mccosker
Town Talk staff August 29, 2010
An arrest warrant has been issued for a suspect in the robbery of a Sabine State Bank Branch in Alexandria Tuesday.
Alexandria Police identified the suspect as Mark H. McCosker, 32.
He is approximately 6-foot-2 and heavily built.
His last known address is 5125 Samantha Drive in Ball.
Because a firearm was used in the robbery, the Alexandria Police Department warns, he should be considered armed.
The branch at 4409 Coliseum Blvd. was robbed at approximately 11 a.m. on Tuesday.
According to the police report, the suspect -- described as about 6 feet and weighing approximately 300 pounds -- came into the bank and asked for a meeting with the branch manager. Once in the manager's office, the man pulled out a gun and demanded money. The manager walked with him to the teller counter, where he threatened the workers with the pistol.
The tellers put money into a binder with a zipper before the suspect demanded they lie down and face away from the door. The suspect then fled the scene. ~ source
kalb.com:

we took this screen grab from off the louisiana sec'y of state, corporations database website a couple of days ago. (13 august 2010).
thanks to dardenne's constant screwing up of the secretary of state website one can no longer, among other things, link directly to a corporate report.
the rino, jay dardenne is currently louisiana sec'y of state and a candidate for louisiana lieutenant governor.
on his lieutenant governor campaign website it says "Paid for by the Jay Dardenne Campaign " and on the donations page it says: " To contribute by check, please make check payable to Jay Dardenne Campaign and mail to: Jay Dardenne Campaign," at a baton rouge post office box.
BATON ROUGE (CNS)—
With the elevation of Brant Thompson to interim commissioner of the Louisiana Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control, the question becomes how many of State Sen. Francis C. Thompson’s family members will end up in high-ranking positions in Louisiana state government?
Brant Thompson, one of Francis Thompson’s two sons who are employed by state agencies, served for a number of years as ATC deputy commissioner. He was promoted to interim commissioner after his boss, Commissioner Murphy J. Painter, resigned last week. Thompson’s salary before his promotion was listed at $84,864 per year. Painter, meanwhile, is under investigation by state police and the state inspector general’s office.
Among other things, Painter is being investigated for hacking into personnel files of employees and strangers alike, of sexual harassment, discrimination, and stalking.
Thompson’s other son, Todd Thompson, works for the Louisiana Department of Agriculture. Sen. Francis Thompson (D-Delhi) served for four years as chairman of the House Agriculture Committee before being term limited for his House seat and subsequently was elected to the Senate seat formerly held by similarly term-limited Charles Jones of Monroe. He now serves as chairman of the Senate Agriculture, Forestry, Aquaculture, and Rural Development Committee.
Francis Thompson’s first cousin, J.S. “Bud” Thompson, is director of the Louisiana Office of Risk Management, which is being privatized over a five-year period. Bud Thompson’s wife recently retired from her position with the Louisiana Bond Commission.
An older brother, Clyde “Weasel” Thompson (as he was known when he coached P.E. at Louisiana Tech University in Ruston in the 60s and ’70s) served for a time as second in command to Department of Transportation and Development Secretary Paul Hardy during the administration of former Gov. Dave Treen and more recently has been serving as Executive Director of the Madison Port Commission at a salary of $49,207 even though he reportedly rarely leaves home and even more rarely shows up at his office.
Finally, the senator’s younger brother, Mike Thompson, was formerly mayor of Delhi and later served as director of the Poverty Point Reservoir District.
Controversy seems to follow members of the Thompson family in their capacities as public employees. Besides Brant, who received his promotion at ATC by default, his brother Todd was ticketed six years ago for driving while intoxicated in Baton Rouge after being involved in an auto accident at 10:15 p.m. on July 7, 2004 while driving a Department of Agriculture vehicle.
The Baton Rouge city police accident report said that while the accident was not the fault of Todd Thompson, he was nevertheless cited for DWI after refusing a field sobriety test at the scene of the accident. Todd Thompson, despite his driving while intoxicated in a state vehicle at 10:15 p.m., remained in his job.
Francis Thompson has been the subject of considerable controversy with his proposed ground water reservoir feasibility studies around the state, including Poverty Point in Richland Parish, as well as Washington Parish, Lincoln Parish, and others. Poverty Point received appropriations totaling more than $3.1 million in this year’s appropriations and capital outlay bills.
Bud Thompson was the catalyst in the privatization of the Office of Risk Management which was facilitated by what some employees felt was tweaking the evaluations of companies that bid on the contract so that an area private claims adjusting firm might win the contract. The outsourcing of the agency will either force employees into working for the private firm or taking early retirement. Those who move into the private sector will have their retirement seniority interrupted in some cases decades before employees are eligible for retirement though Bud Thompson, in his own words, will still have his job.
Mike Thompson was indicted and subsequently convicted in federal court for using Poverty Point Reservoir District employees to perform work on his private property. ~ source: louisiana voice via cns

we really dont start out looking for these things. earlier we added another wild honeybee video clip to youtube; after we navigated to its watch page to see how it viewed, we noticed the above videos in the right hand side suggested videos field.
the first video, is an interview added by youtuber, policeabusedotcom2, the youtube channel of www.policeabuse.com and the police complaint center. they operate as part of an investigative team of current and former police officers who report on and investigate citizen allegations of police corruption.
diop kamau née don jackson a former hawthorne, california, policeman is its founder and executive director.
mr. kamau interviews ms. michelle trottie. her statement below is from video description:Victim's statement: Officer Kim Hall was call on the scene around six something in the morning on November 12, 2009. About a fight that occured on the bus stop between kids.
Two of the kids was my daughter Tillerria Howard and my neighbor Arionna Roy.
When officer kim Hall was in contact with me and my children. Officer kim hall didn't come to us right,he came to us using verbal abusive remarks, telling them to get there asses out the car, and as of now both of you are under arrest.
He also told me if I move my car he was going to take all our asses to jail, I was very upset because my 5 year old daughter was in the car and had to hear officer kim hall talk to us that way.
officer kim hall let me move my car so i can take my 5 yr old daughter home out the streets, kim Hall came into my home telling my kids he don't want to hear a dame thing they have to say, and told them to sit thier asses down at the table and shut the hell up.
He also stated to us that he is tired he have been doing this shit for 12 years,and that my kids are going to court no matter what happen.
My kids was still trying to tell him their side of the story and kim hall stated to them i told you all to shut the hell up. I stated to officer kim that he have no right to curse my children like that and stated to him it always have two sides of a story and my children have the right to tell there side.
He still stated to them that he doesn't want to hear a dame thing from them due to the fact that the other young girl that came off of her bus stop to fight my daughter have bruseis in her face, he didnt care about how my daughter face looked.
Make it short officer kim hall was very disrespectul and rude in my home to me and my kids with the cursing. kim hall was very unprofessional with the way he did his job.
We are u.s. citizens and we should be treated right.
I just don't understand why officer kim hall think he have the right to do unlawfully things to citizens while he is wearing that uniform.
I pray that someone take my statement very serious because if officer kim hall did this to me and my kids no telling what else he will do or say to another u.s. citizen when he is in a bad move or when he get a call that time of the morining.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. from Michelle Trottie.
P.s they wouldn't let me file my compliant at the shrieff office, they was giving me the run aroud.
He also gave my son marlonzo trottie a cititation to go to court and he had nothing to do with anthing that was going on.
Now I can rest.

Westboro Baptist Church Wins Lawsuit vs. Missouri; Free to Protest Funerals Unrestricted
By Chad Garrison, Tue., Aug. 17 2010 @ 7:06AM :Two Missouri laws aimed specifically at controversial Rev. Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church were struck down yesterday in federal court in Jefferson City.
State legislators passed the laws back in 2006. One prohibited protests near a church or cemetery from an hour before until an hour after a funeral. The other stated that protesters must keep at least 300 feet from ceremonies and processions.
In recent years the Westboro Baptist Church has taken to picketing outside military funerals under the belief that God is killing U.S. soldiers because of America's tolerance of homosexuality.
Judge Fernando Gaitan ruled that the laws failed to show that the restrictions served a significant government interest and that the laws were overly broad.
Yesterday marked the second time a federal court has ruled Missouri's laws unconstitutional. Last month, Daily RFT interviewed University of Missouri law professor Christina Wells, who also sides with the Westboro Baptist Church on this one.
As Wells told us, less restrictive bans on funeral protests have held up in court. Those laws tend to limit protester from assembling within 100 feet of a funeral and not restricting when they can assemble. Read more
