Politics as Usual in Louisiana
I got a fair amount of grief for being unfair when I posted this about Louisiana politics. Based on emerging evidence, I stand by my assessment:
Acting New Orleans Police Superintendent Warren Riley said Thursday
that as many as 40 officers from the department's 3rd District,
including the commanding captain, are "under scrutiny" for possibly
bolting the city in the clutch and heading to Baton Rouge in Cadillacs
from a New Orleans dealership.
As many as 200 cars may have been stolen from this dealership by police deserting their posts in New Orleans. Those trying to defend the police as merely commandeering the vehicles in an emergency will have to explain why 1) They were leaving the city without leave from their commanders and 2) Why Cadillacs are missing but Chevy's from the same district appear to be mostly undisturbed.
