Well, it might be that said officers were photographed looting along with the common criminals. Picutes like that tend to hamper further career promotion.
"it's a small percentage of people who are the major problem."
I agree.
He is already the cause of too, many of his constituents deaths.
P.C. kills and so does incompetent fools like "Ragin-Nagin" "Stanko-Blanco" and "Punch-Drunk-Landrieu."
Now Nagin is going to get tough like "slick klintoon" and looks out for his peeps. "Too late Nagin!!!! you belong in Federal Prison as Heavy D's Bitch."
Lies Are The Opiate Of The Liberals,

Get some sleep, then maybe you will see that I am comparing our military to the good people of LA who did/are doing everything they can to help their fellow citizens.
As a NY'er, I will say that although we have more than our fair share of isiots, the overall population has a cano do attitude and and the firemen are the best of the best. I have a few buddies who are cops and firemen, and they are committed professional, and far far different than the bums we see on the tv.
And it's their homes too because of the NO residency requirement for city employees.
The military court that found England, et al guilty must be "a perfect example of PC ideology" right?
I stand by the comparison....the honorable and good people in both situations are newsworthy...not the idiots.
Oh why stop now, you incompetent fool? You have the blood of PLENTY enough on your hands, Nagin. Do I need to count the ways????
...."Last night, Mayor Ray Nagin said his entire police force would be pulled off the streets by tomorrow and all firefighters, paramedics and emergency dispatchers also were being sidelined. They will be sent to Baton Rouge for evaluation and counseling, he said.
"......
F^&*(ing idiot. Now the stupid mayor has sent everyone that knows the city home, so the Feds can do the work.
How about taking these 2000 or so folks, and put them under the jurisdiction of the feds. Let them at least direct traffic, drive their firetrucks, run supply chains to the local hospitals, drive the buses for the evacuation.
Now the Fed troops have to do all the back-up jobs, rather than let them find people trapped in attics, etc.
Idiot!
Well, it might at least reduce looting.
Finally, this idiot says something rational.
And what are you do if they put their hands on their hips, give you that looks and announce:
"H--- no! I ain't gonna sign nuthin' and I ain't gonna give ya no name of no relatvie either..."
The police are a vital cog in hiz honor's bribe and kick back department. Plus they hold the back up crack stash in evidence rooms.
I would offer the thought that "informed and intelligent Democrat" is a contradiction of terms, an oxymoron if you will. If you are informed, you can't be a Democrat if you are intelligent. By the same token, if you are intelligent, you cannot be a Democrat if you have all the facts.
America will never be safe as long as a single Democrat holds elected public office.
I guess seven days of sitting back was enough, huh Nagin? While you blamed the Feds for not bailing your pathetic butt out earlier?
I have known lots of NOPD. This is uncalled for. Many of them are good, hardworking guys who want to be the good guy in a city where crime is very high per capita.
They are paid low. They have to often work a second job to make ends meet. More than one family has met the qualifications for food stamps. And the fact that they are paid low enough to make that qualification is a sad thing in and of itself.
They had a bad job to do anyway, policing a city that required big skills in crowd control and dealing with a rough criminal element.
And then the storm came.
The men in this situation faced their entire lives shattered. Their homes were gone, their families threatened or dead, having to move through chaotic situations surrounded by death, lack of communications, and being fired on.
The guys in NYC were gallant and heroic, but didn't have their entire lives destroyed. They had homes to go back to. Their loved ones weren't lost in that morass of black water. What they were trying to protect, the people of New York, the property of New York, mostly existed.
The guys in New Orleans had it differently. They were expected to police what was no longer a city, but a swamp of dead bodies, looters, and frightened people.
I can understand why some left. I can understand why some suicided. I am amazed that any stayed on the job at all. Those guys are heros in my book. To stay on the job when all you have worked for is washed away in the muck shows a heroism that goes beyond the pale of many of us.
I won't deny there is graft in NO. I won't deny the corruption. But to paint all those guys like they were crooks is wrong, wrong, wrong, and shameful.
I guess it depends on what the meaning of "is" is, as per this post.
