What ever happened to the N.O. Cops that were caught on video shopping after katrina?

My understanding is that stores were not stopping and/or prosecuting anyone who took things from their stores that were to be used as necessities.  On top of that though, there were a number of civilians who stole liquor, beer, television sets, and other non-necessities, that were not arrested or detained by police due to their sheer numbers and the lack of police resources.\n\nMany New Orleans Police Officers stayed at their posts even though they were overwhelmed by the same circumstances that were overwhelming everyone else.  These officers needed food and medical supplies but did not have access to them as the department had no supply routing system in place to resupply these officers.  There were officers that stayed at their posts even though they were out of ammunition.  \n\nAs for the specific video you are referring to, why not ask the police department or the internal affairs division and get the straight dope on it, rather than trashing good men and women that stayed the course and hazarded their lives and those of their families to stay true to their sworn duty.

I used to get pulled over all the time. I couldn't walk a mile without getting searched when I was young. I grew up poor, grew my hair long. So the cops assumed that was enough of a reason. Or I'd be in  a high crime neighborhood. Didn't matter that I LIVED there. Just that they stopped folks in that neighborhood. Also been in roadblocks where my car got extra special searching just for looking poor.

The police officers were undercover (plain clothes) narcotic officers.  They served a search warrant in a rough neighborhood and after entering the home and announcing their presence, they were shot at by the woman...who was most likely terrified and confused by the whole thing.  Three of the officers were wounded by the woman and the officers returned fire, which did kill the woman.  It's a horrible situation and there won't be much good to come out of it.  The woman's family is devastated and the officers involved must be feeling conflicted about the whole thing.  The one good thing that might come out of this is that more care will be taken in obtaining no-knock search warrants and raids will be better planned.\n\nIt's a horribly sad situatuion but the term "murder" does not appear to apply here becuase there is no information (at this point) that the officers went to the home with the intent of killing this woman.  It was an awful set of circumstances that had one of the worst outcomes imaginable and it is truly pathetic, but it is NOT murder.  The investigation may reveal that the officers were negligent in planning the raid or didn't do a good job in getting the search warrant...which contributes to the unfortunate circumstances but still does not make the case for murder.

If you really think you stopped, fight it. I think most cop cars have cameras in them, maybe they can get something from there...

It is because poor people are easy targets for police. \n\n If there is a video tape,  then as long as the incident in question is captured on tape, then no matter what the other police officers say happened, the video tape does not lie.  \n\nThere may be an issue if part of the incident happened off-tape,  then the police officer(s) may say, that something happened before the tape was on, or after it was off,  and accuse a suspect of a crime without having any video tape to prove or disprove their allegations.\n\n At that point, it becomes a credibility issue and poor people are more likely to not have on their side, "indicators" of trustworthiness.  For example, they may not have a full-time job.  They may not have access to other law-abiding and respected citizens in the community that can vouch for their truthfulness and character.  They may have a criminal record or drug history.  \n\nAnd, even putting all that aside:  if the "poor" person testifies on his/her own behalf,  many times poverty is a result of lack of education.  Often a person who lacks education may not be able to express himself or herself very effectively.  The person may be nervous, speak grammatically incorrect, etc.\n\n And, when you have a career police officer -- used to testifying -- against a poor person, who may be a poor communicator, the jury will often side with the police officer.  \n\nThe police know this and this bias works it way through the system in who police decide whom to enforce laws against and in how they treat suspects.

C-Murder is currently out of jail. He is out on parole, but he was caught on tape at an ice cream shop and a fast food restaurant in New Orleans. This is a violation of his parole, since he was on house arrest. This all occured a few weeks ago.

Funny. Google's record seems to have gone bye-bye.\n\nLook for newspapers around that area - especiallty the smaller ones closest to the crime. People there are more likely to remember the inident and details because it would have been a big story for a local paper.

I did a totally layman's search of the Internet and found nothing except articles about videos being shot. Maybe your friend only heard part of the story?\n\nI know, no help. But I tried. :)\n\n~Tia~

As far as I know, "COPS" was NEVER banned from the KC Metro area(BOTH Kansas and Missouri), but it was BANNED by executive order of the Cincinnati(Ohio) City Council President after three episodes were filmed there(the order unfortunately also extended to ALL police departments in Hamilton County, including the Sheriff's Office and the nearby suburb of Norwich as well)...\n\nThe Mayor of Cincinnati was FURIOUS at the order, but the CPD Chief was determined to maintain the "racist" attitudes of the force...so Madam Mayor had to give up her dream of having the longest-running Fox reality show in the "Queen City of the Ohio River"...\n\nCincinnati's police chief also wanted EVERY PD and sheriff on Ohio(as well as the Ohio Highway Patrol) to ban the show from riding along w/ their officers...and apparently, the now-state-wide ban is STILL in effect to this day...

try your local law enforcement agency online. In Florida it is FDLE.org I think.

I was deployed to Louisiana with the National Guard for two months after Hurricane Katrina. I had the distinct displeasure of meeting Mayor Nagin on a couple of ocassions. The man is an incompetent, racist boob.\n\nTrue leaders find solutions for their people NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES ARE. All Mayor Nagin did was whine and complain. He had no real plan of action to help his people.\n\nHe deserves neither the office nor the title of Mayor.

police were on the lookout for a green explorer with a broken tail light around my area in regards to a possible kidnapping earlier in the week. at night i went to my friends house and broke his tail light. the next day on his way to work they pulled him over and took him in for questioning. they had him there all day and night until finally they found the person they were looking for had just ran away from home. that was the funniest prank ever!

I work for a police department and I answer this question every week several times. Yes you have to contact the Police in the town of which the crime occured.
