When news of last weekend's assault of Republican campaign fundraiser Allee Bautsch and her boyfriend broke on Monday, police logs detailing crimes and complaints reported in the French Quarter that night did not list the attack on the pair.
That's because the April 9 incident was first labeled a medical call, which meant no police report needed to be written. Indeed, according to the initial report released Friday by New Orleans police, it wasn't until Monday that a detective was assigned to investigate the incident -- in which Bautsch broke her leg and her boyfriend, Joseph Brown, broke his jaw.
Monday was also the day news reports and blogs began chattering about the attack, sometimes laden with the juicy possibility the attackers were anti-Republican protesters.
The initial incident report does not resolve the question of whether Bautsch and Brown were attacked by protesters, who had picketed the restaurant they were in earlier that night.
But the sequence of the NOPD's response to an attack that left Bautsch with a broken leg and Brown with a fractured jaw and nose, raises questions about why the department didn't deal with the incident as an assault from the get-go. Subsequent police statements and reports about the incident note that officers did respond to the scene, calling an ambulance to take Bautsch and Brown to the hospital.
NOPD spokesman Bob Young said the explanation is simple: The responding officer didn't know the extent of the couple's injuries. That officer knew the couple needed help and was told that Brown had been in a fight, but concentrated on getting them medical assistance, he said.
If the officer had known how badly they were hurt, the case would have been reclassified immediately as some kind of battery, Young said.

I think you said something about him swearing at the media and proclaiming that the thugs should be hunted down and shot like animals.
Kenny Bunk said: "Jindal should have been at their side in the hospital swearing to reporters that the attackers would be tracked down to the ends of the Earth and shot like mad dogs!"
It's pretty clear to anyone who can read a simple sentence what kind of swearing Kenny Bunk meant. Obviously not cursing. You had to alter his wording from "to" to "at" to try and spin it didn't you?
Just face it sweetie, you've been outed as a troll, now go make a new FR handle and be done with it.
” and shot like mad dogs!”
I think Jindal took an oath to uphold the constitution. He should not go around swearing to violate the constitution. Should he?
I forgot. Which of Alinski's tactics is that?
Nice try at dodging your previous point though. Not! lol
You are still angry that women got the right to vote?
LOL! You're not very good at trolling yet, are you. I suggest you study trolling and then come back later.....we'll be waiting.
Thanks for the update on the grammar. They must have changed the definitions since I was in high school.
Gov. Jindal has lost some of his conservative momentum in the past 18 months. So far, this won’t help.
If Bush taught us antyhing, it’s about time we defend ourselves and our fellows.
Still dodging.
“She did not break her leg and he did not break his jaw.
The attacker broke her leg by stomping on it and his injuries were caused by the attacker(s)”

Yeah, no bias there from our buddies at the ‘journalism’ schools...commie basTURDS...
For the sake of the POlice department in New Ohluns and the Kos kids at the political broadside, this is called ‘assault and battery.’ That is, if you care about the facts.
No. As I said, I was very thankful for you informing me that the definition of an adjective had changed. After all, I haven't taken any grammar classes if the last few decades and things do change. I appreciate you young'uns helping to keep me up to date.
‘I don’t think Jindal was governor during Katrina.’
“the Katrina aftermath”
“Oh goody ... another “let’s bash Jindal” thread.”
Your thoughts about him?
Still dodging.
Yes. Isn't this internet wonderful! Why you young'uns can go all day calling people assholes and not have to face them in person.
“Where there should be a collective Republican howl. . .there is quiet.
Can only ask; ‘Why, Jindal, why?”
+++++++++++++++
This, that cuckoo mass murderer prof in Alabama that was an Obama supporter, the prevarications re: the Congressional Black Caucus’ charges of racism on the weekend of the health fraud vote, the attackers of Kenneth Gladney - all give the BIG LIE to the ‘tea parties are violent’ tome in the RAT press.
The pubbie leadership needs to grow a set. This is not time to back down.
