New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and Police Superintendent Warren Riley on Tuesday used the floor of the Superdome to display more than $1 million in new armament and other equipment, largely for use by the SWAT squad in emergency and riot situations, including a fully equipped mobile command post, two armored cars and modern assault rifles.

Please tell me this is photoshopped...Nagin really isn’t pointing a rifle at that guy, right?

Nagin needs a course in gun safety!

“... new armament ... largely for the use of the SWAT squads in emergency and riot situations.”

The local LEOs have multi-million-dollar robotic bomb detonators, SWAT teams that make U.S. combat-infantry squads in Iraq look like Boy Scouts, and APCs that sit, rusting away, in the county garage. Meanwhile, there is no money to fund extra foot patrols downtown where *every* night thugs from the adjacent housing project rob and assault people walking home from the bars and restaurants.
