"...and four began firing at police..."

If so, it would appear that the police were justified in firing back.

"We cannot allow our police officers to shoot and kill our citizens without justification like rabid dogs,"

I'm glad he hasn't made any public comments that might prejudice the officers' chances of a fair trial.

Thats according to the police report. According to the article the grand jury foreman said "Do you understand the word coverup?"

Sounds like they were some of the few New Orleans cops trying to do their jobs at the time, instead of looting Wal-Mart.

One small problem, produce the gun used in the alleged firing and are evidence of same.

The report also said, 'Buck W. was seen firing.' D'ya see how easy it is?

The report also din not specify if the victims were shot before or after their guns were confiscated.

Either we are equal or we are not. Good people ought to be armed where they will, with wits and guns.

Had I been in New Orleans with the police rioting like they were and acting on unConstituional orders from that petulant wanna-be dictator Nagin I would've fired on them, too. Once they started violating people's rights and stealing people's water, food, guns, supplies, vehicles, and then shooting at people who were trying to escape the death camp that was the stadium they were no longer police: they were just thugs.

The majority were decent cops, sure, but I ask if they were all so decent then why were *all* of them executing numerous illegal orders?

I deny any personal complicity in this matter.

That's easy, too.
