NO policemen face tribunal for being AWOL - WHAT ABOUT *???

[MoonRiver]

From what I understand, most of the policemen went missing to rescue their endangered families. * just didn't want to dirty his lilly white hands with the Katrina "problem". Instead of being a leader and dealing with one of the worst national emergencies this country has ever faced, our CIC was golfing, eating birthday cake, and yukking it up with his big donor pals. If the NO police are indictable for being AWOL, pretend pResident is 1,000 times more so.

1. Oh, I hope we have that wrong.

That would be unconscionable.

2. I just heard they are going to face tribunals. I don't mean military ones

3. They are probably threatening them with their jobs.

Are they threatening them criminally?

If so, I wish I was an attorney - their attorney. Each one needs to fight that.

4. Some NOLA "law enforcement: left thousands of minor criminals to DROWN

in locked cells, with water rising to the ceiling. See the first-hand account at http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=1801454&mesg_id=1802555 . What COWARDS! The State had to send in officers from other jurisdictions to do the job NOLA officers had simply abandoned.

Compare the PAID "public service" of those NOLA cowards to that of the hundreds of firemen who marched up the stairs at the WTC on 9/11, going IN to near-certain death while thousands were running OUT as fast as they could.

I guess it was no fun anymore for 500 (out of a force of only 1,700) when their jobs suddenly changed from busting heads to helping relatives of many of the very same people they'd been abusing for years. Some NOPD committed suicide rather than do that, but hundreds of others just TURNED TAIL!
