FBI warns of safety concerns for public, law enforcement this weekend
http://www.wbrz.com/news/fbi-warns-of-safety-concerns-for-public-law-enforcement-this-weekendBATON ROUGE - The FBI released a strongly-worded warning about threats to peoples' safety Friday evening.
In the memo - known as a 'Gold Code' - federal authorities warned Baton Rouge-area and Shreveport-area law enforcement agencies to "threats to law enforcement and potential threats to the safety of the general public." It goes on to report, the FBI New Orleans office has found multiple groups "calling for or planning riots and/or violence against law enforcement in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Shreveport, Louisiana beginning Friday, 8 July 2016 and continuing through at least 10 July 2016."
The WBRZ Investigative Unit obtained the memo Friday shortly after 5 p.m. via a source. The memo was issued for threats related to the on-going aftermath of the shooting death of Alton Sterling in North Baton Rouge by Baton Rouge Police earlier in the week.
