I'm not sure why you're getting that subscriber block. I get that sometimes when the site says I've read too many of their articles, but I would die before giving them a penny. It's the top story at nola.com, not sure if just going there and clicking the article would make it show.

It's a great story of an average guy spending, by his own account, 1600 hours compiling proof of police timesheet fraud.

First time it wouldn’t let me. Second time it let me look. Some sites keep tabs on the number of times you visit and won’t let you read further without a subscription.

OK...If I close that first block that comes up fast enough, it goes to the story...

Yeah, sorry about that. I’m surprised that would come up for people who don’t go to the site often. Maybe because it’s a site that has to be auto-excerpted, that had something to do with it somehow.

He sure sounds like a hero and he’s done a lot a tremendous amount of work. The world needs people like him. But if turning over his work to the FBI is anything like the computer repair guy turning over Hunter Biden’s laptop... I hope his efforts work out for the best and the frauds are punished.

“Reload” will let you scroll a couple seconds more, then do it again where you left off.

I can’t read it either because of the subscriber block but I grew up in Mississippi north of New Orleans and it’s corrupt from top to bottom. I have no doubt that most of the police are on the take in one way or another, just like almost every other official in the city. That place is third world level corruption.

The way the FBI is now, I’d expect them to negotiate a deal with the New Orleans police to let them off easy for something in return. It truly is a rogue criminal organization.
