Default New Orleans Killer Police Squads

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38235467...ti_tx/38233496

What the hell was going on there? I think this is the second case of policemen charged with killings in the post-Katrina days

Considering what kind of people you'd expect to get into police work, none of this should be that surprising.

Anecdotal evidence coming...

Out of everybody in my high school class that could have become a cop, the only one that did, who is now a state trooper, was one of the most overtly racist, fight-starting, disrespectful, and alcoholic amongst all.

Odd. All of the cops I know personally are nice guys. All of the ones I knew before they became cops were nice guys before.

Of course there's also the different cultures of different agencies. Some are more professional than others. Wasn't Katrina the one where the police were looting?

In Standtall's defense, he only asked if police liked shooting people for no reason. I guess in this case, yes. They really really did.
