BEHIND THE BADGE WITH SPONSOR

BOSSIER CITY, La. - Each week, KTBS highlights the selfless work of area law enforcement.

For this week's Behind the Badge segment, KTBS 3's Rick Rowe takes a look back at the night of Sept. 21, 1988, as a riot swept through the Cedar Grove neighborhood.

Retired Shreveport Police Officer Richard Childers was there and recounts what he experienced that night.
