Russ Racop - May 23, 2021
LRPD cop Rashud Williams hit an elderly black man while heading West on 12th Street just blocks from the LRPD 12th Street Substation.
Witnesses report he was traveling faster than the speed limit without emergency lights or siren when he stuck the yet to be identified man. They also report he just stood by with a glazed look on his face.
LRFD responded to render aid to the victim but onlookers became concerned when it took longer than normal for a MEMS ambulance to arrive.
A yet to be identified LRFD fireman told the onlookers that MEMS wouldn't respond with them at the scene.
Stay tuned as we have requested the videos.
