In the egotist department, I guess. I know one thing, it is probably safer to stand in his toxic stinking sludgey waters rather than to be standing in the way of Nagin and a television camera. Someone needs to grab a hook and drag this @sshole off the stage already.

"This is not a crime, just "misconduct."
Yea, for the protected special class.
For everyone else it's a crime.
Why would you hope that?
Keeping one's head out of the "radar screen" and venting one's frustrations via proper civilized channels can be beneficial.
Pull out all the police, firefighters, and medical personnel. Let the journalists run the city.
Is this your wish for yourself and people you know ?
Isn't it amazing how popular rape and homosexual sex have become ?
Deep in the bowls of liberalism.
Where else?
Cops, gotta luv 'em.
AP - Sun Oct 9, 3:00 PM ET Police officers subdue a man on Conti Street near Bourbon Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans Saturday night, Oct. 8, 2005. At least one police officer repeatedly punched the 64-year-old Robert Davis, accused of public intoxication, and another officer assaulted an Associated Press Television News producer as a cameraman taped the confrontations.

Yeah, unreal. I thought there would be much happiness on FR when a member of the A.merican P.ravda got a whoopin'. Lord knows they would never stack the deck to make cops look bad, or the President, or the Military.
It's also illegal for cops to threaten or intimidate anyone lawfully going about their business on a public street. It's called "deprivation of civil rights under false color of authority" and it's a Felony. I believe the penalty is 15 years in prison and a rather large fine.
Maybe the drunk was resisting, but the AP reporter wasn't doing anything wrong. The cop who assaulted him should be stripped of his badge, weapon, pension, charged with the appropriate felonies, tried, convicted, and incarcerated with the previously mentioned inmate with AIDS.
I don't have anything against good cops doing their jobs. I have everything in the world against cops who think they can smack reporters around because they don't want to be filmed in the performance of their duties.
The suspension is a good place to start. I just hope it's followed by a speedy indictement.

You advocate homosexual rape and lecture us that it is illegal to beat reporters ...
I do! Wouldnt want their job!!! Almost time for me to get to the Jag game!
Maybe the LEO should take you up on that advice.
Where is the pic of the AP reporter getting slugged?
That would be funny.

State probes cars 'borrowed' by N.O. police during Katrina
But the cars may have been taken even before the hurricane roared into town Aug. 29, according to the president and general manager of the dealership, Doug Stead.
State authorities are investigating allegations New Orleans police officers broke into a dealership and made off with nearly 200 cars -- including 41 new Cadillacs -- as Hurricane Katrina closed in.

I'll bet several of those Cadillacs were driven to Vegas.
