Good lord,

Actually having to DO something to earn one's paycheck????

Scandalous.... (sarc/off)

[Tribune7]

WHY DIDN'T GEORGE BUSH DO A BETTER JOB OF HIRING THESE OFFICERS?????

Has a lot to do with the residency requirements. The democrats in NOLA didn't want to fight crime, they wanted black homeboy cops who would paticipate in and make excuses for crime and corruption.

A corrupt police dept. like that of New Orleans needs a good thinning of the herd. It's probably a good thing.

They found out it was more profitable to loot the city ...

[SeaBiscuit]

All I can say is that the difference between the dedication of the police and firemen of NY that sacrificed over 350 lives to rescue lives during 9/11 and those of NO that quit, walked off or even participated in looting, leave a lot to be desired.

What is the line from "Demolition Man"?

"We are police officers we are not trained to deal with crime."

or words to that effect.

[RedMonqey]

"My officers are walking around in wet shoes."


No doubt they will use this when they apply for disablity pension under "job related stress"

[Dont_Tread_On_Me_888]

. Edwin Compass III, the superintendent of police, said most of his officers were staying at their posts

Sorry pal, when 2/3 of your police force quit, that is NOT "most staying at their posts."

Then again, this is New Orleans, the land of the Big Queasy and when only 33% of the people show up for work, that 's a case for throwing a party on Bourbon Street.

40 years of socialism and a welfare state has degraded our nation's big cities to this decayed level.
