The fact is that NOPD, New Orleans, and Louisiana have a long history or brutality and corruption and few politicians with the courage to clean it up. The last American peace officer sentenced to death row for duty-related activity was from NOPD.<br />The Constitution and rule of law apply everywhere, including New Orleans.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09908922017589211092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060696059642580878.post-20120028937696854012011-01-02T12:45:37.014-06:002011-01-02T12:45:37.014-06:00Given a choice between reliance on the NOPD or the...Given a choice between reliance on the NOPD or the NAACP for my safety in New Orleans, I'll take the NOPD, thank you.Ridgwaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060696059642580878.post-80447144053040570552010-12-21T20:09:02.499-06:002010-12-21T20:09:02.499-06:00The Mafia did a great job keeping order in Las Veg...The Mafia did a great job keeping order in Las Vegas at one time.

The prosecutors live in New Orleans or the general area. Not too long ago a jury convicted other NOPD officers of covering up another NOPD atrocity (I believe there's a blog on it below.) The leading local newspaper helped break both stories and has been writing about the need to clean up NOPD. New Orleans NAACP and other local groups have been complaining about NOPD for years. The last American peace officer to be sentenced to death (after conviction by a New Orleans jury) was from NOPD. I suspect these juries and residents are in a better position to judge NOPD than a tourist.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09908922017589211092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060696059642580878.post-11889303695171331142010-12-18T10:17:26.898-06:002010-12-18T10:17:26.898-06:00As a frequent visitor to the city of New Orleans, ...As a frequent visitor to the city of New Orleans, I have noticed that it is fashionable for folks who don't live there and have spent very little time there to have answers to questions that the folks in N.O. are not asking.
