Fuck, I'm tired of people slamming the N.O. cops. They held that city for 3 fucking days without any federal or state help at all. Less than 2,000 of them for a city of 500,000.

Guardsmen 'played cards' amid New Orleans chaos: police official

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20050904/ts_alt_afp/usweatherpolice_050904002034

NEW ORLEANS, United States (AFP) - A top New Orleans police officer said that National Guard troops sat around playing cards while people died in the stricken city after Hurricane Katrina.

New Orleans deputy police commander W.S. Riley launched a bitter attack on the federal response to the disaster though he praised the way the evacuation was eventually handled.

His remarks fuelled controversy over the government's handling of events during five days when New Orleans succumbed to lawlessness after Katrina swamped the city's flood defenses.

The National Guard commander, Lieutenant General Steven Blum, said the reservist force was slow to move troops into New Orleans because it did not anticipate the collapse of the city's police force.

5. I'm impressed with all of the officials from Orleans to Jefferson parishes

These are very competent people who did do their jobs, no matter what the WH spin is.
