Re: Anyone here help out during Katrina?
I'm going to remind those with the political comments that this is not allowed at the iboats forums. I'm also going to tell you that you pretty much don't know what you are talking about.
If you didn't live it, please be quiet.
BTW, most of the shooting that was discussed on the news, never happened. In fact, in one case, two civilians, one of whom was mentally retarded, were murdered by police officers. Additionally, a family was cut down while seeking safety. The father was shot multiple times, including once in the head. The mother lost her arm to a shotgun blast, her 17 year old daughter was shot four times and a nephew now wears a colostomy bag for the rest of his life, due to being shot in the abdomen. A family friend, then 19 years old, was also killed. The incident was immediately determined to be a bad shoot and the Lt. who made that judgement, immediately enaged in a coverup conspiracy with the officers involved. They planted an untraceable handgun, which was provided by a NOPD Sargeant, so that they could charge the brother of the retarded man, with 8 counts of attempted murder of a police officer. All of the officers involved were eventually prosecuted by the United States Attorney. During the trial, one of the officers testified that he watched other officers shoot some of the victims again, after they were already on the ground, suffering previous wounds.
This post is not meant to disrespect police officers. It is merely to point out that what was reported on the news six years ago and the true story, are quite often not the same thing.
