BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Baton Rouge police officer Siya Creel has won his appeal and has gotten his job back.
BRPD Chief Murphy Paul fired Creel in December 2020, saying Creel violated departmental policy by doing an interview for a YouTube channel without getting prior approval. The interview was about billboards that had been placed around the parish that was critical of both the chief and the city’s high rate of homicides.

CHARLESTON West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey has advised Morgantown leaders again that his office believes the city’s proposed police reform ordinance would violate state law.
Morrisey sent a letter March 4 expressing concern an attempt by Morgantown City Council to create a Civilian Police Review and Advisory Board still would run afoul of the Legislature’s intent for the police civil service commissions to serve as a “complete and exclusive system” for the investigation and adjudication of police misconduct charges.
Even with the most problematic provisions eliminated, Morrisey said believes judicial precedent may require a court to strike down the ordinance in its entirety.
