Police

For the last two weeks or more, on our street, they have been shooting a movie, with 24 hour NOPD security, even on days when the trucks sit on our cozy little block, locked tight as federal funds.

We can think of a thousand corners in the city that could use a 24 hour police presence. The problem, NO can't afford the NOPD.

New Orleans police are on the scene of a homicide in Algiers, where a man was found dead in an apartment complex in the 2100 block of Cypress Acres

Friday, October 17, 2008: Frenchmen and Saint Denis Sts. attempted murder by shooting. The victims, New Orleans Police Officers, were shot at by the arrested subjects. This case is being actively investigated by Homicide.


Speaking of NOPD:

What kind of quote is this in response to the arrest of an officer for sexual battery of a minor?

"The superintendent is aware of the arrest and would like to comment, however, because of prior engagements this evening he will not comment until tomorrow."

A weak one. It's a weak one.
