Officials with the agency tell WAFB it was a ‘mistake,’ as an employee with the department accidentally posted it to the wrong page.

“We have a great working relationship with the Baton Rouge Police Department, we’ve undertaken multiple joint investigations with them, and we have absolutely no complaints about them. It was a personal opinion of a Central employee that got expressed on a government page unfortunately,” said Central Assistant Police Chief Cliff Ivey.
