saw the video last night on hannity/colmes. dont agree with abuse, but this guy was begging for it. he resisted, end of discussion.

HANNITY: I am always concerned, always when only a portion or snippet of video is used in a police case like this, because I don't think it always tells the whole story. With that said, I look at this, and the over the head punch after punch after punch and the guy trying to seemingly hide from the camera, it looks pretty damning.

Interesting theory you have there - that my sage advice to unwary visitors actually caused the corruption in the NOPD.

So if I told those same visitors not to wander into Armstrong Park at 2 AM becasue they might be robbed, would I actually be causing the criminality?

Perhaps I misunderstood you, or you me. My point was that the NOPD's rep for brutality is widely known and well-deserved.

Warning people about those who break the law at 2 am is one thing.

Merely warning people about those you have hired and pay the salary's of to uphold the law is another.

The citizens of NO should have been making noise and demanding something should be done about the corrupt officers they pay for. Not just accepting the behavior and warning visitors. Your citizens are just as responsible for allowing this to continue imho.
