Looting: The police are looting. This has been confirmed by several independent sources. Some of the looting might be "legitimate" in as much as that word has any meaning in this context. They have broken into ATMs and safes: confirmed. We have eyewitnesses to this. They have taken dozens of SUVs from dealerships ostensibly for official use. They have also looted gun stores and pawn shops for all the small arms, supposedly to prevent "criminals" from doing so. But who knows their true intentions. We have an inside source in the NOPD who says that command and control is in chaos. He reports that command lapses more than 24 hours between check-ins, and that most of the force are "like deer in the headlights." NOPD already had a reputation for corruption, but I am telling you now that the people we've been talking to say they are not recognizing the NOPD as a legitimate authority anymore, since cops have been seen looting in Walmarts and forcing people out of stores so they could back up SUVs and loot them. Don't shoot the messenger....

Oh yes, I'm so sure every cop has gone wild and gone on a beer-swilling, SUV driving rampage.

The president should send in the marines, and shoot all looters.

where do you see that in the post? if you go to the site and read all the posts as i did you would have a clearer idea... from what i saw there are many cops trapped in their HQ's in seige, many who fled the area and a small percentage who are looting in uniform....

yesterday i had a very wierd time,
i was watching the news then i saw the tornado and the disasters it did, i really felt bad for the guys over there, then next i watched the report about the 1000 iraqis who died in a celebration on a bridge, then i had a blast of laughter, even thou i should be happy about americans getting dead for a change other then arabs, and sad about iraqis dead, but we have clean hearts....

and im very sorry for the dead in new orleans...
