"The reason the buses stopped last night was that the NG needed security from the Louisiana State Police or law enforcement in loading the buses.
But there LSP was awol. "
Thanks. I didn't know. Doesn't the military provide security?? Why do they need the LSP?
Most of the NG units providing aid were deployed without weapons - and their vehicles won't go over about 55mph, so police and their cruisers are needed to escort the buses.
There are a LOT more armed NG units in there now, but they're busy suppressing looters.
