Can NO afford this? They'll probably use the Homeland Defense funds allocated since it sure as hell doesn't appear those funds were used for preparedness!

And what's with the NOPD only having 3 rescue boats, two of which weren't working?! The city sits in a bowl, surrounded by water, and the NOPD has ONE functioning rescue boat?!
I suppose the Feds are to blame for that too, Mayor Nagin?

NO didn't have many of them (taxpayers) before. They've got none now.

I don't believe in the cannabalism rumour. It was first put forward by some lefty moonbat, and I don't think there's been any confirmation.

The trips to Las Vegas will not cost New Orleans anything. They are just going to visit with the people who actually run the state right now.

My father was a 30 year member of the 'thin blue line'. He was shot at, involved in an accident during a high speed chase that resulted in over 300 stitches to his head, had boiling Drano poured on his arm during a domestic call, stood riot patrol where he was kicked in the shin by someone with a razor blade in the toe of his shoe, and worked long dangerous hours during I don't know how many hurricanes in south Florida.
He got a retirement. These NOPD guys can kiss his a##.

Unbelievable. The firefighers and police of NYC went for months finding the body parts of their brothers without a day off.
Different officials different mind sets.

In his interview on CNN, Nagin was wondering if FEMA would finance these trips to Las Vegas. I suppose that's where most of the preparedness money from FEMA wound up before Katrina.

I guess this a--hole mayor will be sending some of the cops who were looting on a paid vacation to Las Vegas, along with several other officers who deserted. This mayor is an incompetent moron. The next move, he'll probably recruit the police chief of Aruba to be his next chief.

The vacation will end with a Kanye West/Celine Dion concert.

If I walked off my job I'd get a vacation too.
A permanent one.

Is that before or after they return the stolen property back to Wal Mart?

One suicide was because the policeman's wife had died in the flood...does not seem to be driectly related to the fact that he was a policeman. Don't know about the second one.

I'm not sure that is the case. I betcha that the police and fire unions and city employee union were his biggest supporters and helped get him elected. He's just taking care of his base.

I wonder if the free Vegas trips are only for the 500 police who stayed, or are they also for the 1,000 or so who scurried outa town before Katrina and when the thugs started shooting at people?
