*PING*

Maybe Cathy and MineralMan can refute this pack of lies...after all, there ARE NO BAD COPS....right?

The city does have its share of honest, dedicated cops, by now thoroughly exhausted. But it also has a higher portion of bad apples than most cities. Just how much higher was suggested by a segment of CBS's "60 Minutes," aired Sunday, September 11. During the course of the flood, New Orleans Police Chief Eddie Compass admitted that roughly a third of city's police force simply had walked off the job. And some of those who stayed joined the looters. In a program aired over a week earlier on MSNBC, Martin Savidge, reporting from a Wal-Mart in the process of being looted, interviewed police officers claiming to be arresting suspects, even as they were loading their own shopping carts with dry goods. How's that for abdication - and chutzpah?

Some of the criminals include Mayor Noggin, Guvna Blanko and Sen. Landreau.

When this all done there should be a lot of examples made of the bad ones.

Between this and Chief Comp ass grabbing guns there should be many sentences served.

Mayor Nagin will not allow recruitment of police officers out of Orleans Parish (hello) what are the stats in downtown NO. Jefferson Parish and Kenner would love to apply for those jobs but can't because Nagin wants the police to be from Orleans Parish only. Man, there are only just so many honest, moral, and strong men in NO.

Does the residency requirement apply to all city officials, or only the cops? If it applies to everybody.........

I believe all NOLA cops have to be party cops.

I never said there weren't any bad cops. NO is full of them and every Police Dept in the country know they are a dirty bunch. You can see my new and old posted comments if you need reminding.

I stand up for the overwhelming majority of Law Enforcement that is good, hard working and apparently lacking a lot of respect from people like yourself.
