There was an article on FR that of the 1,500 police force, 1,000 either never showed up after the hurricane or walked shortly thereafter.
And the clueless Governor waited until at least Wednesday (late, as I recall) to order up additional National Guard troops.
I missed it, Julie. So the Chief of Police was a no show? If anyone finds out why the chief wasn't there, please ping me/us. Thanks.
The gov said that they'd deal with the problem of the police later.
I found it disgusting that the mayor seemed to disappear for the duration, only to show up "as mayor" now that the mess is under control.
