Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson would like to address the unrest that has taken place in the last several days.
“As I have stated before, our town needs to come together and stand as one,” he said. “I understand that you may disagree with someone, but violence is not the answer. I do not want anyone in our town or the surrounding area to be a statistic for violence. The “gun war” is real and unfortunately, it is now rearing its ugly head here in the Town of Rayville. My officers and I are here to enforce the laws and protect the community of Rayville. Gun violence will not be tolerated. If you are found to be breaking any gun laws, you will be arrested and we will seek full prosecution. This is the way to protect everyone.The Town of Rayville needs to work together to combat gun violence. We see it on the television, hear about it on the radio and read about it on the internet. We do not want to see it anymore in the Town of Rayville. As the great Martin Luther King said, ‘Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.’ Hate is what makes the gun violence happen, at this time, let us as a community, drop the hate and work together as a community of one.”
