although only 325 arrested ("mostly local kids" stealing TVS) there were up to 3,000 looters, most got away. It was " a free fire zone at night, very dangerous" and took six days to get under control, because "National Guard" should have been there from day 1. NO police officers participated in looting, or were paid off to let them go.
NO police are going to get pounded, so they don't want to let info out ( not sure who "they " is?). O'Reilly says this info is nowhere in the public record.
cops have always been on the take. unless I see prove, the gangs were the existing gangs in New Orleans who looted from banks and all. Sounds like a diversion from the local ilk that have lived there forever.
EVEN if it were legal it would NOT be possible to get the National Guard into any area on the FIRST DAY!!!
