Another thing not mentioned, or perhaps was but not discussed much here. The number of police officers. I have a feeling they were padding the payrolls. The FBI ought to do an investigation. I saw interviews with 80 year old police officers?? 80 Year old WWII vets still cops ? How many were or are still on the payroll vs the gangs, and other tyrants of NOLA. Were there lots of people that were getting paid but do nothing but visit a police station, Levee board, once a day. Mafia type no show jobs ? I hope the Justice Department is doing a thorough investigation of the corruption there.
I bet there was hardly a police department to start with. People are going to be eating crow or worst. Perhaps there was hardly any public service to start with, everyone was on the take as the poor people just fend for themselves.
