There are always two sides to a story, so I want you to check this out and let me know what you think.
"27-year-old Mamou man died early Wednesday in an officer-involved shooting involving an Evangeline Parish sheriff's deputy, according to Louisiana State Police.
The State Police Bureau of Investigation/Lafayette Field Office was alerted at 4:10 a.m. to the shooting and was asked by the Evangeline Sheriff's Office to investigate, Master Trooper Daniel “Scott” Moreau said in a news release.
The deputy had been responding to an attempted burglary in the area of Chad Lane when he encountered Dejuan Guillory, Moreau said. During an ensuing altercation between Guillory and the deputy, Guillory was shot.
Guillory was pronounced dead at the scene, Moreau said.
The deputy, who was injured during the altercation, was transported to a local hospital, where he was listed Thursday in stable condition, Moreau said. The deputy's identity has not been released.
State Police reported later Thursday they arrested Dequince E. Brown , 21, of Church Point. Brown, who was with Guillory during the incident, was booked into Evangelina Parish jail on attempted first-degree murder of a police officer.
KATC-TV is reporting that Guillory had been arrested in 2015, accused of stealing an ATM with a backhoe from Citizen's Bank in Mamou and firing a gun at a responding deputy's patrol car. At the time, police said they found 12 shell casings shot from an AR 15 assault rifle near the backhoe.
Guillory was charged with theft of the backhoe, attempted murder, aggravated criminal damage to property and felony theft in that case.
In December 2016 he entered a no contest plea to simple criminal damage to property and was sentenced to 10 years in prison, with five years suspended. He was to serve five years probation following his sentence. The remaining charges were dismissed.
The state Department of Corrections could not provide details Thursday regarding Guillory's sentence. District Attorney Trent Brignac was not in his office and did not return a phone message left on his cell phone." [Source]
Hmm, stealing in the middle of a field? No firearm on his person?
Anyway, here is another take :
"Mamou, LA-According to sources close to the family of DeJuan Guillory, Paul Holden LaFluer, a local Ville Platte deputy, stopped father and concrete business owner, DeJuan Guillory and his girlfriend, Dequince Erin Brown.
The new couple were on a 4-wheeler in a rural area about a mile from Mamou, “frogging.” According to a source close to the family, after an altercation between DeJuan and LaFleur, deputy LaFleur shot DeJuan Guillory four times in the back. The family went to the scene but were not allowed to view the body.
DeJuan’s sister, Kiera Guillory, former law enforcement officer, says that State Police at the local police station were unhelpful in the family’s search for DeJuan’s body. Both DeJuan’s sister and mother worked in law enforcement in the area for over 22 years.
A source close to the family said that DeJuan had been shot in the back while laying on the ground. According to the Louisiana State Police, who are currently investigating this officer-involved shooting, the Ville Platte deputy responded to an attempted burglary call in the town of Mamou Thursday morning at roughly 4:10 a.m.,. Speculation has run rampant about the reason LaFleur was in the area; however, the family maintains that LaFleur was where he shouldn’t have been which is why he claimed to have been responding to a burglary call
.
he Guillory family, well-known in the small town, believe that the burglary call was either a bogus claim or someone called the police because they saw the couple frogging. DeJuan had just been paid on two big concrete contracts. He was seen earlier that night by friends and family in good spirits about his new girlfriend, successful career and positive outlook. Family and friends of Guillory said he was finally in a place where things were going well and he had no reason to burglarize anyone.
The consensus from those close to Guillory is that he was a loving father of three boys, and beloved family man, stellar athlete, and fun ‘country-boy,’ who people loved to be around. He was righting his wrongs. He could be successful at anything he put his mind to, and he was doing just that. During the struggle, the deputy was injured and was taken to a local hospital. Officials did not provide details regarding his injury. However the family has learned that he has been discharged from the hospital. When investigators from Louisiana State Police arrived at the scene, they arrested Dequince E. Brown, 21, of Church Point in connection with the case. Brown, who witnessed the entire situation, was arrest by investigators and then charged with attempted first degree murder of a police officer. She was booked into the Evangeline Parish Jail but has since been moved. The family is not aware of where she is being held." [Source]

I suspect that it's another one of those questionable attempts to make a martyr out of a criminal in order to inflame racial attitudes.
But maybe we should both wait for some facts. Your post provides some interesting ones.
Mr. Guillory "had been arrested in 2015, accused of stealing an ATM with a backhoe from Citizen's Bank in Mamou and firing a gun at a responding deputy's patrol car." The gun was apparently an AR-15.
Last Wednesday, he was out driving around at four in the morning on a ATV when he ran into a cop responding to a burglary call. Somehow, the cop got injured, and Mr. Guillory wound up dead.
A cynic might say a guy who got caught "stealing an ATM with a backhoe" and then shot at police with an AR-15 and got away with only probation might be inclined to react similarly if caught in the act again.
Call me a cynic.
Call me a cynic.
Nah. Based on the past behavior of the trolls on this blog, I'm going to go ahead and call you a racist.
The family better find out where the girl Dequince Erin Brown is being held and fast! She's the eyewitness and she's in danger right now of being eliminated!
There just isn't enough information at the moment. It sounds complicated and perhaps even personal in some way, OR one more case of a race soldier murdering a black man. And this was a black man that according to that report had just landed two juicy concrete contracts!
Either way it's murder. Priority now, finding the girlfriend before harm befalls her!
Penpoint news link is 404.
Need a lot more local background on this one. In that area, vendettas are real.
Sadly, when it's your word against the cop's word, the cop tends to win, regardless of the actual circumstances. This is hardly surprising, given that a major part of the cop's job is working with the courts to obtain convictions. I have found that this coziness is more pronounced in more rural (or at least smaller) jurisdictions.
It seems like your only chance in some of these disputes is if you have video evidence of it, and often even that does little to change the outcome, other than getting it on the national news.
Still, it's at least something, and I find it slightly encouraging that the 3rd Circuit ruled that recording the police in public is legal and constitutional, and that other circuits have found similarly.

He was a good boy, he was getting his life together, was an aspiring rapper, and was going to go back to school.
Honestly, the cocksucker had tried to steal an ATM with a backhoe and had shot at law enforcement with an AR-15, and was caught in the act of burglary... and you think he's the victim?!
How fucking deluded can you possibly be?!
Everything you do proves that Black people have no business in the Americas at any time, for any reason. Back to Afreaka with you. Not for your good; for our protection. Let us cleanse Canada down to Tierra del Fuego of everyone carrying genes not originating from Siberia or Europe and put those genes back where they came from.
What happens to the dysfunctional in-DUH-viduals carrying those genes is NOT our problem.
Damn, those are ugly-ass kids. Eurasian and Latino-white people often look great, but B/W mixed people usually wind up looking like retarded Oompa Loompas.
Black-white race mixing should be outlawed. Who's with me on this?

How fucking deluded can I possibly be?! Had he done all these things, he would have received a longer sentence, and not a mere 5 years of probation. More than likely, he'd be dead by now. Shot where he stood.
Everything I do and say prove that white people have no business in the Americas at any time, for any reason. Back to Eu-Rope with all whites, including me. Not for my good; for your protection.

Big Dick Trump's visit to the eastern bloc couldn't have gone better. He is winning every day. He is getting stronger every day; soon, his eyes will glow. His penis will burst forth, slaying all who oppose Him with lightning and fire.
You will weep and beg for mercy, but of course there will be none. America will be great again. Liberalism will be a thing of the past.
Amazing! This man (Rest in Peace) had 4 bullets pummped into his back by a 'deputy' (ie., race soldier) and just like Mr. Castile et al.,the 'media' has to add to this notice his past record even if, like Mr. Castile it consists of a mere few parking tickets, or throwing a bubble gum wrapper on the floor!!! As if that gives them the right to have shot him/them in the back!!!
On the other hand, all of these white supremacists aggressors/assassins, including the one that shot those congressmen in the ballpark, mums the word on their past convictions!!! They release them piecemeal and begrudgingly! Amazing!!!
Also might I add that robbing an ATM is a federal offense, and nowhere does it say that he was 'convicted' of that particular crime! He was convicted of a lesser one and was given probation, so, no, I don't think so! The media UGH!
Deputy was tentatively id'd as Paul Holden La Fluer. Can't locate whether he has disciplinary problems. They won't say how he was injured. There was a site with court proceedings on the case, but that site can't be accessed.
I noticed virtually all accounts of the shooting delve right in on Guillory's past as if that is relevant. I guess Baldy writes them for everyone. You can see Baldy's slavering spittle all over every report. Baldy needs to be checked for rabies.
Deputy La Fleur was injured, but not by gunfire. He is out of the hospital. Authorities still won't release how and where Guillory was perforated but they sure are free to hand out details of earlier crime.
Guillory's sister and another family member are ex-lasw enforcement personnel.
"I noticed virtually all accounts of the shooting delve right in on Guillory's past as if that is relevant."
The fact that he opened fire on cops two years ago with an AR-15 after being caught stealing an ATM with a backhoe isn't relevant?
An established fact that this guy is perfectly willing to kill police to avoid arrest is pretty important.
25% of New Orleans residents live in poverty, the crime rate is exploding, with over 365 people shot so far this year, only 37% of murders are ever solved. Visitors are being assaulted at a rate that is starting to impact the city's tourism industry on which it depends.
So what is the biggest priority (besides taking down Confederate monuments) for Democrat Mayor Mitch Landrieu? Global warming. That's right, New Orleans, a poor city that receives a huge portion of its tax receipts from the oil industry, is going to direct its resources into fighting carbon.
This is why Trump is President.
This is why Trump will be re-elected.
This is why the Democratic Party is falling apart.
Guillory didn't kill any cops, Gomer. He may not have even hit the cop car for all anyone knows. But as far as you wingnuts are concerned that all the reason a cop needs to kill a black man, not that they even need a reason.
Makes me wonder how a black man gets away with shooting that many rounds and doesn't get hosed down in return. Something stinks to high heaven about that case and this one as well.
Louisiana is run by the KKK.
New Orleans is below sea level, and was recently flooded out of existence, so yes, climate change is an existential threat to them.

Sea levels are not rising any faster than they have been for the past several thousand years. We are still coming out of the last ice age.
Anthropogenic global warming is not a real problem.
Meanwhile, crime and poverty actually exist in New Orleans.
Progressives avoid real problems by making up imaginary ones whose solution is more power for progressives.
People are catching on.

So....the fact that he is a poor shot exonerates him from the attempted murder of a police officer.
Good one, mike.
Piney Joe bloviates- people are catching on. A real problem in America, according to wingnuts is the poverty and misery found in the 1%. They desperately need that 8oo billion bucks Medicaid would spend on the filthy rich poors for health insurance. Then there will be another 100 billion or so to give ti the koch bris when foodstamps for them miserly poors are slashed-again. These are real problems wingnuts intend to solve.
The 1% Walton families can pick up around an extra 40 billion or so if wingnuts can get rid of the estate tax. Poverty will end under wingnuts. They will kill off everyone except the poor wealthy.
So....the fact that he is a poor shot exonerates him from the attempted murder of a police officer.
As I said before in a world where blacks are shot for being black, if Guillory had fired a gun at any cops, why was he taken alive? A black civilian with a gun is a dead civilian 999 times out of 1000. It does not add up and something stinks about that whole case.
It appears Cops salivate at the chance to shoot blacks-armed or not. It seems they compete to see which one can shoot a black the fastest. And the perjurer attorney general is making it easier for this to happen.
From the time Cleveland cops stopped a few feet from 12 year old Tamir Rice until shots were fired was less than 2 seconds. Must be a record!
What a strange world mike lives in.

Reality always appears strange to wingnuts. Keep yer eyes closed and soon whitey will be a minority and black cops will open season on a formerly protected by white privilege class.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
A lawyer for the Kremlin met with Drumpf campaign officials last year and Kushner's people and Manafort's people are admitting it. The meeting was left off Kushner's required paperwork, along with just about every other meeting with Russians,
The noose around Drumpfuck's dirty neck is getting scratchy.

This is what you want for the future? You know you and your children will be on the list too, right?
Anymoose- we all are going to die some day. Even you. I will at least die knowing I am not a racist wingnut who lives in fear of the day minorities take over.
You and racist cops can't begin to kill enough minorities to prevent the inevitable. Maybe minorities, since so many vote Democratic will decide to govern as liberals and be willing to let bygones be bygones. Dems did that with dumbass dubya and it was the worst mistake they ever made. Dubya should have been shipped to the Hague to face war criminal charges and the rest of his cabinet should be in prison. Cheney gets sent straight to hell-alive.
"we all are going to die some day. Even you."
The "hispanics" hate Africans and will genocide the lot of you. Given the power, they'll do to the whole USA what they did to Compton and Harlem.
"Maybe minorities, since so many vote Democratic will decide to govern as liberals and be willing to let bygones be bygones."
Go walk your Black ass through Little Mexico and see about those bygones.
"You and racist cops can't begin to kill enough minorities to prevent the inevitable."
This is what makes you incomprehensible to most White people. They simply cannot grasp that you hate Whitey so much that you are willing to commit racial suicide to take him down. Joe Sobran really had your number:
"WESTERN MAN towers over the rest of the world in ways so large as to be almost inexpressible. It's Western exploration, science and conquest that have revealed the world to itself. Other races feel like subjects of Western power long after colonialism, imperialism and slavery have disappeared.
The charge of racism puzzles whites who feel not hostility, but only baffled good will, because they don't grasp what it really means: humiliation.
The white man presents an image of superiority even when he isn't conscious of it.
And superiority excites envy.
Destroying white civilization is the inmost desire of the league of designated victims we call `minorities.'"
Of course, what really pisses you off is a White man who knows what he is and refuses to apologize for it. Your inferiority is soon going to be ONLY your problem.

You want me to walk my white ass through Little Mexico and see if what you say about those bygones are true?
"You and racist cops can't begin to kill enough minorities to prevent the inevitable."
This is what makes me incomprehensible to most black and brown people. They simply cannot grasp that Whitey hates them so much that they are willing to commit racial suicide to take them down. Take note, the truth isn't always this naked:
"WESTERN MAN wants to tower over the rest of the world in ways so large as to be almost inexpressible. It's Western greed, genocidal tendencies and lust for conquest that have revealed itself to the world. WESTERN MAN wants other races to feel like subjects of Western power long after colonialism, imperialism and slavery have disappeared.
They charge that racism puzzles whites who feel racial hostility, but are still baffled that it's not taken as good will, because they can't grasp what it really means: at attempt to humiliate minorities.
The white man presents an image of superiority even when he isn't conscious of it. Yet, it's an attempt to cover for a congenital sense of profound inferiority.
And inferiority excites envy.
Destroying black civilizations is the inmost desire of the league of designated victims we call `white trash.'"
Of course, what really pisses them off is a black and brown man who knows what he is and refuses to apologize for it. Our claim to superiority is soon going to be ONLY our problem.
Lord touch the mind of each individual in these comments that have hateful and racists thoughts. Move out hate and negativity and replace with true love and empathy. Amen
I figured if I stuck around long enough Baldy would rear its ugly, racist pie hole again.
I think Jim Steinman writes Baldy's posts for him. Long winded,over produced and hard to dance to.
The primo writing goes to Meat Loaf. The dregs go to bottom feeler Baldy.
Huh. Try as you might, you can't erase Jessica Chambers.
Was Jessica Chambers anything like "Ivory Snow" young Marilyn Chambers? RIP.
I was born and raised in the town of Mamou La. I know how this area is. The theft of the ATM in 2015 was done by two people, one black and one white. It was the white individual was operating the backhoe not the black individual. It never came to light about the white individual involved because the white individual by heresay is from Texas and his family is prominent. I can't tell you this is fact, but here are the facts. There are cameras at this bank that recorded this act, (this I know because I spoke to employees at this bank after it happened) and there are cameras at the hospital across the street from where the ATM was taken however is was never said that two people where involved, so you don't know who pulled the trigger at the police. After this incident, the white individual vacated the area and moved back to Texas, now this man had a wife and kids, but only took the kids, not the wife. Then the wife soon after moved to another city in La. and then to another state (not Texas). The stolen backhoe had a GPS pinpointing the backhoe stopping at the white individuals home outside of town, yet only DeJuan was arrested. I knew DeJuan, but not personal, the man was a good man, worked his ass off for what he got, and I'm in my mid 50's, so I've seen law enforcement here in action a long time. There are multiple reports of corruption in this parish (do some digging people) and if there was social media platforms in the 70's and 80's the shit would be deep. I don't know what happened that early morning or why, but I do know that if this doesn't go national, this crap will continue, and it doesn't matter if I'm black or white, just the truth matters please let it come to light, on all fronts, find out why DeJuan was the only one arrested in the ATM robbery, and what happened that awful morning, remember people the first step to recovery is admission, and I am a white Cajun American.
Doesn't it seem like St. Ronnie the Raygun would be clocking ten grand in his grave over the Republican Hicks and Pig-People and their crush on his "Evil Empire"? Seriously:

All of this is made me, I hope they have a good lawyer to demand the truth. It's all stage, of course, because they are (in their minds) are going to ge away with it.
You do realize that "cajun" ancestry = Black ancestry, right?
Yīshēng thinks Cajuns (Acadians, French colonists expelled from the Canadian Maritimes) are Black!
Dumb as a bag of hammers. You can't make this shit up.
You do not know real history
I think we should emilimate your dumb ass. Back to Europe to you. How you think you got to America punk? By killing indigenous Americans who also happened to be black. So what are you saying about them having no business in America? They were here first. Don't say it's not OUR problem- your speaking for far too many ppl who don't agree with you at all. The fucked up racist shit going on in this world is a world problem and if you live in it- it's yours too. You feel inferior which is why you must act the way you do.
You are trash
One less tax absorber to deal with......
Anon above, what if that was your mother? Your poor dad would be missing a wife AND a first cousin. Wouldn't that be sad?
Whats sad is how you libtards cry for these criminal shitheads.....
Is there any truth to the rumors that Guillory had children with Lafleur's ex? That he was laying in wait for Guillory?
Murder????
Hey. I want to #ChangeTheDiscussion.
I want to get this out there so his death isn't investigated as just another officer-involved shooting of a black man during a police patrol call/response because if that happens Deputy Paul goes scot-free. I think there's going to be a cover-up and I've been posting about it with the hashtag #MamouCoverUp. I also think #DeQuinceBrown is going to be framed and sent to prison unless she clams up and stays silent
We will not get justice for DeJuan by following the same, tired, old "Evil Racist Cop Killed An Unarmed Black Man" game plan that the majority of Twitter posters are pushing. We are about to #ChangeTheDiscussion !!
If we get enough people behind this - with everyone retweeting and liking & using the hash tags for their own comments then we might be able to get #JusticeforDeJuanGuillory and #JusticeforDeQuinceBrown
