But I’ve found good people are everwhere and so is the spoiled meat. The issues with the N.O. Goverment is not about race, religion, sex or politicks but about good and bad, right and wrong.

The two Police Captains so far have both said that their Officers were under a lot of stress. Our military is supposed to operate corectly under stress and so are law inforcement officers. As far as that goes so our elected officials. Should stress be a factor where they do right or wrong? These people have guns to kill you with. All of them. The law gives them the right. Some of our Goverment officials have even more weapons.

When a person puts on a uniform of either our law inforcement officers or military then he agrees to live by a code of conduct. He swears to that. If there are people that are over them that won’t or can’t controll them, then they should be charged right along with them. They have sworn to a code of conduct also. That code of conduct is to uphold the law no matter who or what race, religion, sex or national origion you are. Even if you or they are under a lot of stress.

No amount of stress is an excuse for any person to do wrong. Not a President down to the police. Not even a parent or child.

Seperate the good apples from the bad, the truth from fiction.

I think a lot of elected officials in N.O. and our Goverment are afraid to be honest and that’s a damn shame.

you say that you love the freanch quarter? there are many beautiful places out side of the quarter as well, that i garuntee are not cesspools. i have lived in n.o. all my life and love it there, but as far as i’m concered stupid tourist like you can stay where you are.

I don’t think race should have been brought into this by Jackson et. al nor do I believe it should be in your comment. I don’t believe that the mistakes made in the recovery efforts had anything to do with race nor class or discrimination, etc.

I think that the mayor of New Orleans f**ked up but not because of the color of his skin but because he is just a lousy finger pointing not-my-fault kind of guy. While we showed a photo of two police looters who happened to be black I know that there were thousands of acts of heroism by people who just happened to be black too.

Again, let’s keep race out of this. The point is that cops who loot should be treated like any other looters. These two obviously well-fed individuals, with good jobs, and responsibility to be saving lives were instead picking up new shoes and other things for themselves. Regardless of the color of the skin that makes me sick to my stomach and I someday hope to read that they are serving time with their fellow criminals.

Ikkee Shufll yo Maama.
