Regular infantry will deal with these clowns, deputized under the Louisiana State Police to maintain the veneer of posse comitatus. The technicals and narcotraficantes will die violent deaths that you will not hear about.
The smart narcos left town with their high grade supply on Saturday, at the latest. Before landfall. Needless to say, those are the ones whose protection contracts with certain police officers bought their way out of town. They aren't around to die. They're watching this on television. They're also watching the street value of their supply go up, given the fact that a lot of processed heroin and cocaine is lying at the bottom of the water.
Be Seeing You,

This will probably give rise to the term "New Orleans Brown" for any salvaged dope. Good analysis.
