NOPD shining through
Apparently, the one cop crying on TV was not an isolated case.

What a Bunch of P*****.
New Orleans cops are notorious for taking bribes but when a situation comes up for them to act like men and do their jobs many have completely p*** out. Disgusting....
As for the few that stayed on the job and battling the human scum that are murdering and raping their way through the city, kudos to them. I would like to wish them: Good Hunting!

Was a policeman going to snag a PC out of the twin towers? The looting by police is despicable, but if many of them are simply taking necessities like water, food, or clothing, it's completely understandable.

Re: NOPD shining through
Is it your position, then, that if given the opportunity, NYPD would have engaged in looting on 9/11?

Off topic but pasting a link this long makes this thread a whore to read.

As other articles have pointed out, the fact that so many police officers didn't show up to work, does not necessarily mean the "walked off the job." Some are actually missing, just as many other NOLA residents are. Missing, as in, evacuated on Sunday before the storm hit or missing as in dead or dying... 2. 9/11 was completely different. The analogy doesn't work at all.
