New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell on Tuesday imposed a citywide curfew from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. beginning Tuesday night as the city remained without power and residents struggled to find gasoline and other essentials.
The announcement came with just three hours notice, but Cantrell characterized the curfew as a "proactive" public safety measure. New Orleans Police Chief Shaun Ferguson said officers have made "several" looting arrests and said it was not widespread, but he refused to disclose how many there had been.
Ferguson said he was withholding the number of arrests to prevent "a false narrative about this city."

Lootie had his priorities right.
Funny how the truth becomes a false narrative with democrats.
> Yeah, really. I’m figuring zero arrests.
Police are probably way to busy rounding up granny’s guns.
To be honest, stop the rebuilding of the cities and areas that are routinely hit by these storms. It’s a clear definition of insanity. Want to live on the coast...fine. But it’s all on you to rebuild and/or save yourself when another storm comes barreling through.
I wouldn’t trust ANY decision from a mayor named “LaToya”...
“NOPD’s Shaun Ferguson says he isn’t releasing looting arrests to prevent ‘false narrative about this city.’
“LOL LOL”
They can’t even hear themselves anymore. Well, no one likes to listen to an idiot.
“Funny how the truth becomes a false narrative with democrats.”
Truth? Falsehoods? It’s all relative with the Dems.
Anyway, how many arrested doesn’t even matter anymore. Convicted and jailed? That matters. It will be an exceedingly tiny percentage in a Dem city.
Issue a notice about alligator and copperhead bites. That might cut down on the nighttime activity.

That right there is funny, I don’t care who you are.
Back in the day, looters were shot on sight after a hurricane. Those were the days.
They loot Walgreens and other stores on a daily basis in broad daylight and nothing happeneds
“NOPD won’t disclose number of looting arrests”
Hmmmmmmmmm, wonder if it has to do with the race of at least 99.9% of the looters........?
