When things settle down, we need an investigation into this city's local politicians. How is it that after 9/11...when most PDs are getting federal funds to boost Homeland Security and shore-up their planning, that New Orleans has all these deficiencies. I'm beginning to understand why Blanco doesn't want any federal intervention.

I wonder if by castgating the entire force we are being fair.

Two days ago I saw a police officer really angry, almost crying talking about those who didn't show up, turned in their badges and just quit, and others that worked against the force. He looked so tired and talked about those who had been trying so hard but were so few in number that they could do little,

Does anyone know if the "Deputy Chief" is the same as the Chief of Police. The Deputy is on now and he seems to know what he is doing.
