Yeah, I'll bet they don't. If a Blackwater Security Guard and a New Orleans Keystone Cop got into a shooting match, guess who would come out on the short end? It is a lot easier to take guns from grannies and old men. More damn feel-good politics without doing anything to address the root causes of the lawlessness-- looters and other assorted scumbags allowed to roam about with impunity.
Yeah. They are NOT and never really did go into housing projects to arrest people for guns or drugs. The police are afraid or they are on the take and grant them(dealers) protection. So take the guns from grannies so the looters can really control the city once NO is up and running. Not that it would be any different.
