Shermy, didn't we hear before the storm that the NO PD sent their people home?
I heard that

And they had to remain in the city.
But remember the big flood came a day later. Still, as deployed, many could be lost/isolated.
I just heard that 28,000 NG have been or are being deployed to NO
THAT should tell you just how out of control NO is
NO PD had officers who were sent home right before the hurricane to get rest so as to work a shift change after the hurricane. 20 of those were in the east side, and when the levee burst they ended up on the rooftops and had to be rescued. Some of us wondered why they weren't sent with either boats, since they knew there was a real threat of flooding, or at least to a central staging area with boats.
