WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Three current and two former New Orleans police officers have been charged in connection with the shooting death of a man just after Hurricane Katrina hit the city, the Justice Department said on Friday.

New Orleans resident Henry Glover was shot and killed on September 2, 2005, and his body was burned in a car to cover up the incident, prosecutors said in unsealing the indictment against the five men.

"Behavior such as described in the indictment has no place in a free society, let alone law enforcement," FBI special agent in charge David Welker said in a statement.

Former New Orleans police officer David Warren was charged with the death of Glover and could face life in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted. He was arrested on Friday after an indictment was returned against him.

we were accused of making up DID indeed happen?
I see.
So, does that mean other things that everyone would like to forget happened too?

Finally, some clarity. :hug:

I can't imagine setting someone on fire like that

faced the music for at least a micron of the mayhem after Katrina.
Bad enough that the dead were everywhere.
Worse still that some of the living had to make more of the dead.

The slacker Bush administration officials who procrastinated on acting upon the upcoming hurricane need to be sued for negligence. BIG TIME. Resolving justice for the people of New Orleans goes beyond the five cops who killed an innocent man.

Oh, sorry, that's what our President said about prosecuting torture that occurred the same year.
