Q: General, you mentioned a disintegration of the New Orleans Police Department. Do you know how many officers are still on duty?GEN. BLUM: I would rather not say. I think you'd be better to refer that question to the mayor of New Orleans. I have my own estimate. I would say they are significantly degraded and they have less than one-third of their original capability.
Yes; many, many NOPD deserted their posts; I have seen and heard about this on FR threads and on the News...numerous turned in their badges and quit....that's also been on the news...others said they didn't see the use of working...they'd lost everything (paraphrasing)...two committed suicide (according to reports)...many members of the NOPD failed to serve and protect when the going got tough.....

Yes, and I would still like to know why most of the officers I saw during the coverage were white.
Was it my imagination? Did anyone else see this? Is the composition of the NOPD 90% white or what?
I realize from certain veiled references that certain freepers think I'm a racist for asking, but I'm curious and have no apologies to offer. If we can't discuss, what's the point of having a forum?
