N.O. Crime Commission defended Banister as did many other prominent groups in the area.Banister has associated himself with Leander Perez, D.A. for Plaquemine Parish Perez is extremely right-wing & known to have denied voting rights to blacks.Interview with official of nopd indicates Banister had good record, but began to publicly critic criticize his superiors.
