Whoever claims that the police at the Royal Street precient was complicit in this is dreaming.

I was just there 4 days ago and the police could not be more accomodating to tourists and dead set on keeping the Quarter safe.

This was also French Quarter festival and the goblins from the hood sneak in to revel too.

and yes they are motivated by the hate they learn from the media, their black and white leaders and their peers.

this is something a Dixie white person like me always knows but some folks in whitelandia just don’t get

but to call the cops complicit...no way...I personally spoke with cops there last week on horseback...white cops...who were very very anti-Obama and Nagin.

Outside Brennan’s? Really? That place is a very short half-block away from the police station. Nervy little bastards, aren’t they?

I agree with what you're saying. As a general rule Urban PD's are very concerned with keeping tourist areas as safe as they can. They don't always succeed, but it is always at the top of the list of priorities.
