NEW ORLEANS - New Orleans Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick, who has been giving public updates on the tragedy on Bourbon Street that killed 10 on New Year's Eve, may look familiar to those in the Bay Area.

That's because she served as Oakland's police chief from 2017 to 2020.

She was the city's first female police chief.

Kirkpatrick was fired three years later by an independent commission.

She sued, claiming wrongful termination for exposing corruption and abuse of power within the department and received a $1.5- million dollar settlement.

She was hired by New Orleans in 2023.

I listened to this woman for 30 seconds yesterday and without even knowing anything about her I could tell she was completely useless and sure enough.

If you were going to pull off a terrorist attack, New Orleans would be a good place to try it. The entire administration, including the police force, is screwed up and incompetent from top to bottom.

I haven’t listened to her at all. I can’t get past her Clown Uniform and grandmother appearance. It’s no wonder the citizens of New Orleans are fked.

You bet it’s DEI.

A DEI hire hired HER:

“Superintendent, New Orleans Police Kirkpatrick was appointed interim superintendent of the New Orleans Police Department by Mayor LaToya Cantrell in September 2023, and after confirmation by the city council was sworn in as Superintendent in November 2023.”

AND in 2024 SHE hit two pedestrians ON BURBON STREET! WHAT???!!!

I will give the mayor of New Orleans a bit of credit. She quickly - and correctly - identified the incident as a terrorist attack.

The public had a right know.

Meanwhile, the FBI was running around with their thumbs up their *****.

“grandmother appearance”

You believe that broad is only 65?

She looks in her late 70s at least.

Kirkpatrick, N/Orleans over-the-hill "police chief" ran over 2 people in her car in August.

She was making a left turn in her neighborhood, said "she didnt see them."

What is it about “na lans” that they want 2 older (1 past retirement) women in charge of all their city security? Are there no competent men in the city???? I mean there ARE jobs women inherently seem to do better like education, nursing. IMG-0481

Almost every person I know in any job was retired by 65.

And that would have to be a few hundred.
