According to Harris County Judge Robert Eckles, the Houston Chronicle is expected to run a story in the morning stating that the Astrodome will be "home" to about 100 prisoners from New Orleans.

Eckles says the situation is a bit more nuanced than that:

It appears that New Orleans police were forced to take about 100 prisoners to the Superdome during Hurricane Katrina. For whatever reason, these prisoners were allowed by the NOPD to mingle freely with the larger population inside the Superdome. When it was time for everyone to leave, NOPD were shocked to discover that not all of the 100 prisoners wanted to identify themselves and step forward for the priviledge of going back to jail.

Who woulda thunk it?

Eckles says that while it is possible that some of these prisoners decided to get on the bus and come to Houston, he suspects it is much more likely that most of them chose to "start looting while the looting was good" and stayed behind in New Orleans.

When let out the the Superdome, people were allowed to either get on a bus or, if they wished, were free to just wander off.

Eckles emphasized to LST that everyone entering the Astrodome as a refugee would be patted down and searched for weapons.

new orleans cops aren't exactly know for their moral fiber or character.

i remember watching a A&E documentary on New Orleans cops; they have a very long tradition for being corrupt.

one of the more 'famous' examples was the 'robocop' case. (no, this wasn't peter weller)

they called him robocop because the guy was a stone cold ruthless killer. he had a woman killed who was filing a police brutality complaint against him.

here's a list of examples.

and when you're done with that list, check this one out.

try and keep this all in mind when you go down of fat tuesday and mardi gras next year.

(and it will happen this year: nothing short of the end of the world can stop that.)

I think there was a news crew that filmed NOPD wheeling carts of stuff out of stores :wtf

To Serve and Protect but Loot first :lol:

 
Hows about sending these Steve Pederasses to New Orleans and have them repay their debt to society by helping out those in need? I'm sure they would be competent enough to unload food or supplies.

Do some research about the NOPD. In the late 80's early 90's they were the most corrupt Department in the US. Officer's escorting drug lords in marked cruisers, organized crime rings, you name it they were doing it. It was bad there for awhile til the new Chief came in and cleaned house so to speak.
