Former Shreveport Police Chief, former Louisiana State Police Chief, and former Shreveport Chief Administrative Officer Henry Whitehorn is expected to announce his candidacy to become the next
Caddo Sheriff.
Here are some questions that should be posed to Whitehorn if he qualifies:
1. Why do you want to be the next Caddo Sheriff?
2. What actions/inactions of the current sheriff do you not approve of?
3. How much does your race and party affiliation enter into your decision to run for Sheriff?
4. When is the last time you visited Frierson, Keithville or Spring Ridge, and how many of the citizens in those areas do you know?
5. When is last time you visited Greenwood, Blanchard, Vivian or Oil City and how many of the citizens in those areas do you know?
6. When is the last time you visited Mooringsport, Belcher, Gilliam, Hosston, Ida, Mira or Rhodessa and how many of the citizens in those areas do you know?
7. What would you change if you were elected Sheriff?
8. Who would be your Chief Civil Deputy if you were elected Sheriff?
9. Who would be your Chief Criminal Deputy if you were elected Sheriff?
Seemingly these questions are appropriate for any candidate for Caddo Sheriff.
And for those who want to criticize this article, then reverse the facts.
Assume Whitehorn had been the Caddo Sheriff for over 20 years and Prator had the same credentials as Whitehorn and Prator wanted to challenge Whitehorn.
Would these be good questions for Prator?
No need to pull out the race card for those readers who like to claim this writer is a racist.
