I know all about that incident. A friend was there. It was way more complicated and dangerous than you suppose. Some cops were inviting people in to help themselves, while other cops were shooting. The key thing that y’all don’t get about Katrina is that it exposed the incompetence of government that wants to be seen as omnicompetent. It was to cover up its failure to live up to its own self image that the lockdowns and forced evacuations were imposed. Government panicked at every level — local, state, and federal — and reacted as only scared but highly powerful hypocrites will do. Sure there was an element of ghetto folks taking advantage of the situation, but that is only a part of the unbelievable complexity that Katrina was.
