A reporter asked the Deputy Police Chief what would be done about the officiers who left. His response was 'we'll address that later.'

I'd guess that New Orleans is a patronage type setup (like Chicago), so the deserters will get their jobs back.

WDSU showing pics. One showed debris deposited on top of a levee, which means the water did indeed overflow the levee.

I have a sneaky suspicion that that whole system came to an abrupt end on Thursday.

Just heard from another Freeper that 1000 of the 1500 police force didn't report for duty.

And yet Blanco waited until Wednesday to call in the NG......Her inaction certainly contributed to the loss of life & chaos in the streets & at the Superdome.
