I hope that is not the last of it--there were 250 that abandoned their posts in all.

NOPD lays off 51 for abandoning posts

Posted by LA Woman3 On News/Activism 10/28/2005 5:23:01 PM CDT · 14 replies · 236+ views WWLTV ^ | 10/28/2005 | Associated Press Fifty-one members of the New Orleans Police Department, 45 officers and six civilian employees, were fired Friday for abandoning their posts before or after Hurricane Katrina. "They were terminated due to them abandoning the department prior to the storm," acting superintendent Warren Riley said. "They either left before the hurricane or 10 to 12 days after the storm and we have never heard from them." Police were unable to account for 240 officers on the 1,450-member force following Katrina. The force has been investigating them to see if they left their posts during the storm.

What a joke. I suppose that we have heard the last about the 700 Phantom officers never on the payroll, phonied up to rip off the government, which is ME.

These are so bad they could run the United Nations, Zimbabwe, South Africa, King/Drew, Washington DC school district etc.

and we have never heard from them."

And therefore since we don't know where you are, you are fired! LOL!

In other news, the mayor closed the barn door stating:
"We no longer need a closed door policy since all of the horses have run away."

Clearly the WWL website layed-off the wrong headline writer in the cuts backs after the storm.

[no dems]

When are they going to lay off that inept mayor?

[Lorianne]

Are these real officers or phantom officers? Since they can't find them, how do we know?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Phantom employees were hardest hit.
