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.

Well, dear troll, the young people that had their asses beat, by your friends, is what the original discussion is about......
What are you ten years old? You got caught lying end of story.
“Then please explain exactly what you contend is the problem with Jindal on this one, because the article didn’t touch on that. Was Jindal supposed to be in the precinct checking patrol paperwork the night of the attack? What is it that you want done that Jindal was supposed handle and didn’t?”
The RAT political structure knows how to street fight and defend their own. We’d best learn how, ‘cause this playin’ nice in situations like this aint workin’.
Agree and absolutely. How long are we to suffer - and I mean, literally suffer - Repub niceties and denial.
We are way personal pain; and into Enemy GAIN. . .Good grief; they cannot help themselves, it seems.
I think the Jindal Balloon made a trial ascent. It didn't work out, and he's no longer the hoped-for Saviour of Our Party. I think, by all accounts, he has been a much better Governor than Governess Blanco. But after her performance, I'd venture to say that's a pretty damn low bar!
National stage? IMHO, outa the question. There's this other little thing about Article II. Just because Obama has made a Constitutional shambles of Presidential Eligibility, it doesn't necessarily follow that we shoukld support another violation. Jindal's parents were not citizens until after he was born. End of story. Keep governing that mess until you get it right, Bobby, and we'll seeya around, OK?
The silence on the beat-down is also very very aggravating. This is a leader? Nah! This guy (by me anyway) is perceived as a dweebish, timid, efficient, probably honest, number-cruncher, which is what LA ... and especially NOLA, need right now. Keep'im at it!
I also think his pathetic non-reaction to the attack on his people is painful to watch. But Bobby ain't alone. I don't see any other Republicans stepping up. I don't see it on TV, and I don't here it from those former disc jockeys who, for some cosmic reason are the philosphers of the Republican Party.
Bobby, if you got a shot in you, Man, for God's sake, take it. NOW.
“Yep. Let’s throw another conservative under the bus ...”
Guess what? Conservatives have standards. That’s what sets us apart from the RATS - don’t ya know?
Oh, dear me. I wrote a very nice post to you but for some reason it did not post correctly. I guess I should go back to QVC?
Anyway, I was wanting to ask you for a grammar reference after you were so kind to point out that ‘to’ and ‘at’ were adjectives. I had no idea. My, how things have changed since I took grammar. But back to my concern. I tried to find some updated references on the web but it seems they are all out of date. Would you be so kind as to provide me with an updated reference. I will be going to the library to check it out. Thank you ever so much.

Agree with all your points. Strong conclusion above!
and gives a 'bump' as well.
My oh my. Such language. I said I was in error and thanked you for the grammar lesson.
Now explain why you substituted one adverb for another in order to create a lie about Kenny Bunk's post.
And Jindal should be thrown under the bus because of which standards he does not meet?
You did lie. Is that not proper English? I don’t see the problem with my language there.
“NOLA is still a ‘rat city, isn’t it?”
They ‘hate’ Republicans, and Sarah Palin supporters - no less! - and that’s OK by the national press and political leadership.
Pathetic hypocrites.
s/ This too is Bush’s fault, btw. /s

Oh dear. I can't believe that you made a mistake. I believe that you purposefully did that so as to create a lie about my posts. Oh I am so disappointed in you. Please explain why you did that. What ever did I do to you? Now explain why you substituted one adverb for another in order to create a lie about Kenny Bunk's post.
False premis. You made a mistake in the heat of battle. I made a mistake in the heat of battle. But instead of simply pointing that out to me you had to give me a 'grammar lesson'. Unfortunately, in trying to make me look like an idiot, you came out looking like one. I am ready to move on from this if you are.
“And Jindal should be thrown under the bus because of which standards he does not meet?”
Lack of decisive, principled leadership. Do you think he’s done well in this case? Really?
Look I’d defend Jindal to the RATs and the RAT press, but we’re among friends here, or we’re supposed to be. And it’s OK to disagree, especially if you can actually present a good case, which I haven’t seen you do so far!
Just tell me conservative to conservative - do you think Jindal handled this well so far, and why.
Sweetie, the last thing you ever want to do is meet me in person......;)
“You are complaining that Jindal is not screaming and hollering! Did Ross or W rant and rave before executing the above actions?”
What HAS Jindal done about this??
“For heaven’s sake, this was Jindal’s aide and her leg was broken in four places by these thugs. Her boyfriend was also attacked. This was a Republican fund raiser event.
There were others that barely escaped from this mob. Read some of the on-the-scene accounts.”
What *has* Gov. Jindal done?
