I am just getting back online after being away all week.
How many NO police officers walked away? Is that information available? Thanks.
sketchy reports (as with everything involving the police) I heard were that precincts were reporting anywhere from 20-60% "AWOL". but that could be for many reasons to be fair. but for sure, many of them were making a calculation - "the city is gone, the streets are full of gun toting hoodlums, I'm not dying for this".
Not reliably, no. Some were lost in the hurricane and flood. Their command and control was shot early on. One report was 60% no show by Wednesday.
