51 New Orleans Police Cowards Fired For Desertion

A loosely organized crime syndicate, known locally as the New Orleans Police Department, was unable to account for 240 of their 1,450 member police force in the immediate aftermath Hurricane Katrina. 51 of them were fired today for "abandoning their posts before or after Hurricane Katrina." Fifteen more officers resigned when they were placed under investigation for abandonment. 45 more officers resigned after the storm for "personal reasons." 228 additional police-criminals remain under investigation for abandonment, and 15 police-criminals are under investigation for looting.

"This isn't representative of our department," acting superintendent Warren Riley lied.

Well, yes, Warren, unfortunately, it is representative of your department. When a fifth of your police force abandons their posts, and those that stay behind join in the looting, steal 200 Cadillacs from the Sewell Cadillac Chevrolet, and assault and threaten innocent citizens, I'm afraid that it is representative of your department. And it's a very poor representation, at that. If you don't want people to think your department is full of criminals, then you need to fire a lot more than 51 officers. And you need to think about going further that just terminating their employment. You need to think about handing down indictments for malfeasance, theft, robbery, exhtortion, and pandering "under color of authority." Otherwise, the whole world will know that the NOPD is little more than a tax-payer-subsidized criminal enterprise.
