The New Orleans police officer shot in the head by a looter Tuesday was expected to survive, officials said.
The officer, who has not been identified, was in surgery at West Jefferson Medical Center after being shot in the forehead, police said.

This is the result of police in the 60s not being allowed to use maximum force during the inner city riots because according to liberals looting was just opportunistic black people exploiting a chance to even the scales of social injustice a little. Reduced to the lowest common denominator sometimes all that stands between politically correct justice and your property and/or life is the second amendment!
"What exactly has Governor Blanco done for the relief efforts in HER OWN STATE?"
Well she made it into a tv studio tonight. We all know how important that is, right? :)
Why is everyone calling them looters when they are actually local residents, legal or not? It's not like they are pirates from another state. The residents are doing the looting, not 'looters.'
I saw that too!! I couldn't help but laugh. I wonder if they are still pushing that thing around.
I am speaking of the order to evacuate BEFORE the storm......
there were 24 hours at least. now I don't blame the people for not jumping every time the media starts in with "STORM OF THE CENTURY!!!", but they were told to leave.....they just wanted to stick around for the party and the presents.
Carlson on MSNBC just showed footage of incredible looting by blacks, a young bespeckled white guy and 2 and female police. I want these pictures used in the future to get these people. We all can understand the food bit --- but not what they were doing.
They say it may be conspiracy theory...there is a few points in it that raised my eyebrow...
That woman in the picture looks like she needs to go a few days without food anyway.
I can't be 100% sure, but I think it was on Fox since I only tune away from them momentarily.
No doubt. Remember she is heartbroken.
Huh?
Since when is it not "looting" to "loot"???
Since when is it not "looting" to loot your neighbors' belongings?
Funny, but despite all the talk of a "culture of death," the thing I hear over and over in tragedies is that "they're only possessions...they can be replaced...at least no one was killed..."
That is downright frightening. Read Revelations in the bible. Its all there.
Chances are if the water continues to rise they can use the thing as a boat. They ought to scout out a boat shop and pick up some oars.
That's just as scary from another angle!
Two residents armed with AK-47's shooting at the police station. Police fired back. No report of injuries. Boat chase follows. (Fox Flash)
Maybe he's trying to draw a distinction between "looters" and "carpetbagger looters"?
S**t like this is going to make people lose all sympathy for New Orleans and say "let it sink". Save our sympathy for the "civilized" areas like Mississippi.
