I do want to tell everyone, there are already New Orleans policemen here in Atlanta on a free, 5 day R & R. When the Mayor talked to Katie Curok this morning on TODAY Show, he said these policemen are being given a choice of going to either Atlanta or Las Vegas. He said they deserve this after all they've been through. He said they will receive counseling while here
I just heard the Mayor say how late FEMA and Homeland Security was in bringing help to the city. For all that time, the poor, beleagured police had to do everything. Look for that new spin to be oft repeated in the coming days.
The New Orleans seem to be pretty useless anyway!
Considering almost half the force probably QUIT, right in the middle of doing their jobs...I imagine that those that did stay and work, and not loot...
DO deserve a break...BUT, it darn sure isn't anyone else's fault other than the ones that quit...and the mayor for not evacuating all of the people before the storm, so the police wouldn't have been so "put upon"...
Do the ones who abandoned their posts or just joined in the looting get vacations, or is it limited to the ones who stayed on the job during the past week?
YaYa, did you type that right???
The counties in the Detroit area are send Sheriff Deputies down to NO, and they (NO Officers) are getting R&R now?
What are the ones that looted a WalMart?
