And the hits just keep on comin'.....

If True its soo disgusting that for one of the few times in my life I am at a loss for words. I feel worst for the officers who did not loot, worked their ass off while some of their comrades ran away or were looting and now will be smeared by association.

The fancy rides

Couldn't find the Mercedes dealership??

That's not a city they've been running down there.......


.....it's nothing but one big, go**amned halfway house.

They were just following Celine Dion's advice: "Let them touch those things just for once!"

[zipp_city]

There had to be a reason why they kept the Feds out, now we know.

[NRA1995]

But they needed them to trade for food and water.....

Reporter: How come you took those Cadillacs and drove them to Vegas?

Police: We drove the Cadillacs to Vegas because we know its very dry there and we didn't want the Cadillacs to end up like the buses.

This is not a new story. It was reported within days of Katrina. At the time, the reporting justified the police action with the excuse that the NO police had lost most of their vehicles to floodwaters and needed the wheels.

Of course, the question needs to be asked: "Where are the Escalades now?"

[Jet Jaguar]

LOL! I would say unbelievable... But, I can't!

[Joe Boucher]

cops in N.O. have been dirty for decades.
Where is the scorn from cops nationwide? Maybe they all are like peas in a pot?

[marty60]

Nothing like a hurricane to shine a spotlight on the most corrupt Dumocrats on earth.

[sgtbono2002]

I dont mean to sound dumb, but how did the police cars get underwater? Werent these cars being used to patrol the streets, were the cops so lame they didnt see the water rising and they got stalled? or were they just abandoned?

[cynicom]

What is the only difference between a looter and a NO cop? One wears a uniform.

[rockabyebaby]

Who was that dimwit who said about the looters, they've never had things like this, let them touch them, I think it was that twit Celine, yep, they're just "touching" these things boys and girls, not to worry, they don't mean no harm, they won't get very far, they are "po", let them "touch" them! LOL!

[xp38]

Maybe they took the Caddy advertising slogan "break free" too literally.

[wolfcreek]

They can steal Caddies, but they can't drive BUSSES??????

[TheBattman]

A handful of Sewell Corvettes were also gone, and as recently as last week an NOPD officer at Harrah's was seen driving a black Corvette with a dealer's sticker in the windshield.

And nothing can be done????

Another point in the article that was interesting:

Nevertheless, Stead stressed that neither he nor any other Sewell employee requested a formal investigation from any law enforcement agency.

"The attorney general's office contacted us, we did not contact them," he said. "Please make that clear because I have to live here, you know."

Sounds to me like the local "Mafia" is made up somewhat of the local law enforcement... And who doesn't believe that the "honorable" (hack, cough, puke) Mayor Nagin is part of the problem?

New Orleans has officially fallen, in my view, to hell.

[EmilyGeiger]

another sort of city official whom I can't identify right now." .........hmm? Wonder who that was?
