I posted an article yesterday and I was surprised how the police chief was praised here for what he said. So I looked up New York City and their police chief and mayor's response compared to New Orleans.
New York Mayor:
"When a police officer is murdered, it tears at the foundation of our society," the mayor said. "It is an attack on the very concept of decency."
"It is an attack on all of us," he said. "It is an attack on everything we hold dear."
New Orleans Mayor:
"This despicable, cowardly act represents the lowest of the low," said New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu in a statement. "Killing an officer in the line of duty is an attack on our community that will not stand. We will bring together every law enforcement resource at our disposal to find, capture and prosecute the person for this heinous crime. The heart and soul of New Orleans is heavy today as our community mourns one of our city's finest. The thoughts and prayers of all New Orleanians are with Officer Holloway's friends and family and with the entire NOPD family."
New York Police Chief:
"One of the unfortunate realities of policing is that you put that blue uniform on and you become part of the thin blue line between us and anarchy," Bratton said.
New Orleans Police Chief:
"He will pay for what he did," Harrison told reporters at the scene of the shooting.
Southern Simplicity.
