NEW ORLEANS - Police shot eight people carrying guns on a New Orleans bridge Sunday, killing five or six of them, a deputy chief said.

Needless to say, I"m glad it was the New Orleans police and not the National Guard or active duty military involved in this. But either way, the cops better be black if they shot blacks.

Nah. I'm glad these Cops are on duty and protecting the citizens currently and yet in NO. Black, white doesn't matter to me. A thug is a thug. If the left and the usual cabal wanna go ballistic over this, they should make sure to grab every mike available, and go BIG ON THIS, and make even bigger pathetic fools of themselves than they already have.

Even so, it's going to be hard to find justification for killing SIX people. This smells bad of overreaction.

six armed people are six times as dangerous as one armed person.

I don't know,...maybe two were standing behind the others and the cop only had a revolver.

Having lived in New Orleans,I know for a fact that most black families,the vast majority law abiding,have at least one gun in the house,for either self protection or hunting.
Its POSSIBLE these were some regular non-criminal folks scoping out things.

Arthel Neville (I assume a daugther or siser of Aaron Neville)

She had an ambiguous weekly role on Bill O'Reilly's show, where she needled and jabbed him, basically calling him an overinflated ego, and O'Reilly took it like a repentant father-figure.

A very strange on-air relationship.

I think she's doing entertainment stuff for CNN now?

Wait for more information before the Monday morning quarterbacking.

I think your comments are better directed to the people already cheering this on. I haven't reached any conclusions yet, but you damn well bet it's going to take more for me to approve of this than just hearing that some killings by police have happened.

True. However, (in my best Rumsfeld voice), "I doubt they baking cookies in there."
