It’s Louisiana. I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes. Louisianans of all colors have a pretty good track record of getting along, and being decent to each other. Baton Rouge is not as corrupted as NOLA.
Al Capone tried to come to NOLA and make demands. The head of the local syndicate meet him at the train station with about 7 local "police" officers. They disarmed Al and his bodyguards, broke the hands of the bodyguards, and sent Al and his gang back to Chicago. At least that is how the story goes.
There are only so many ways in and out of NOLA and once you are in the city there are only so many ways you can use to get around because of all the canals and the river.
