Things getting rotten in Tigertown.............

[LousianaHorn]

Read "Louisiana Hayride", one of the funniest books ever written. His exploits were incredible, but he kept Louisiana alive during the depression.

While Edwin was no Huey, Louisiana fared very well under him. How have they done since?

The federal government got Edwin & Mr Marcello, and Louisiana went straight to ****.

Saber never will forget the year our 2 choices for Governor were Slick Eddie or David Duke..........no way in hell could I vote for a KKK front man (Duke)

Let me go back and clarify a little bit. The people of New Orleans are some of the kindest most welcoming group of people I’ve ever met the food is outstanding. So I did not mean any disrespect to the people who live in Louisiana but it is the absolutely the police, and when I mean by that is if you know someone on the police force they will fix tickets for you I’ve actually seen it happen and you’re just gonna have to trust me on that. The politics are so blatantly corrupt That it’s a known issue. When I lived a person was arrested for killing a police officer and they showed him being taken into the jail, low and behold the next day the young man was found dead in his cell after falling down the stairs “trying to escape “
once he was inside the jail. I’m not making a moral judgment if that was right or wrong but I remember saying... that’s it will never hear about that story again and sure enough it was a non-issue. In this environment- i’m not talking about what’s going on right now I’m just saying back then if you were someone with connections you didn’t have to worry about anything from a ticket to sometimes major crimes. A man I worked for killed someone in a DUI, paid the victims family- and the charges were dropped. This was mid ‘80s.

I lived in greater New Orleans for several years and I had the same experience. I got a speeding ticket on the exit for the causeway. When a friend heard about it, he said he would get that ticket fixed for me. I politely declined. While I lived there, a police chief was indicted by the feds for running drugs. The story popped up on the national news. I never heard about a trial or anything else related to the case. I never heard about any murders by the cops, but I don't doubt your story at all.

Thanks, actually this had to be ‘89. Some jackoff shoots a NOLA cop who was a single dad with 2 kids.
The perp arrested News shows him going into the jail.... next day the perps dead “trying to escape and fell down the stairs”
Same exact thing, I got a speeding ticket, my coworker said “You paying that???, my brother in law is a Kenner cop, give it to me and Ill have him pull the ticket’ I declined.
Ok I know this is crazy, I was at a bar. on Canal, two horse riding in uniform cops got free mixed drinks, were talking to a girl by their horses right outside the bar, she pulls down her top, horse licks her exposed chest.

Police corruption in NO is by design of the Ruling Elite, not by accident.

Cops have always been terribly paid, such that they need to moonlight to earn a living. Coincidently, the Ruling Elite hires off duty cops for security at business, events, private security, such that quite legally, cops work for them, not the city. The corruption follows and permeates throughout the force and all its activities.
