I realize this is from a lawyer but it's not looking good for these officers whether or not they were justified. Innocent or guilty the're toast.

You just don't beat up a 64 year old drunk, even if that was what he was. He wasn't threatening anyone.

Was there a history of abuse or violent that they had knowledge of before they began the abuse.??

You just don't beat up a 64 year old drunk...Or an American exercising his 1st Amendment rights.

NOLA, from the Mayor's office to the newest LEO on the street, is as corrupt as you will ever see. Reminds me of Mexico.
I pity the people that live there, and I pity the fools that go there looking for a "good time".

The NO finest at it again? Maybe they thought the guy was after their stash from looting.

"....he attacked their fists over and over again." LOL and they saved him from himself by immobilizing him. These were Good Samaritans and should be congratulated. /sarc
Now the overweight donut eater who confronted the AP reporter is another story.

He could have had AIDS. This might be attempted capitol murder of a police officer with his tainted blood. They needed to protect themselves. /sarc
I have no real opinion on this story at all.

Senator, I haven't seen you in awhile! I figgered you might have been a bus parking attendant in New Orleans and been washed out to sea.

Hey, just because there are five hundred New Orleans police that ran like rats from Katrina and left people to rot doesn't mean they'd lie about the guy being drunk. Or was it 500 cops on the police payroll who never existed in the first place? Either way, they're completely trustworthy gentlemen. cough cough

No doubt a lawsuit is coming, but how do you collect a settlement from a city that is bankrupt?

I agree. Look, I know that the NOPD are stressed, but come on. That guy posed no threat, was not fighting back, and the reporter was just doing his job.
Those "officers" need their badges pulled, their jobs yanked, and some prison time. I'm not a cop, but I am a soldier, and that behavior brings discredit on all of us that serve the people.

Sometimes the thin blue line is so thin that it can't hide all of those hoodlums hiding behind it.
