A former StarPhoenix photographer was threatened, shoved and stripped of his cameras by New Orleans police while on assignment in the hurricane-ravaged city.

Oleniuk said he was still photographing the scene when officers approached him, shoved him back and ripped two cameras and his press pass from around his neck. "I pleaded with them for the cameras," said Oleniuk, who said he asked numerous times only to be denied.

Walking away one block, Oleniuk decided to ask one last time. An officer he had been working beside returned his cameras but without the memory cards containing 350 pictures.

"When I asked for the pictures, one said, 'If you don't get your ass out of here, I'm going to break your motherf--ing jaw.' "

5. These are cops or mercenaries?

Are these the Blackwater security officers? I think we need to see if we can find that out. If so, it's not NO city govt, or LA state, but DHS feds doing this.
