New Orleans Latest

What can a poor, stressed out cop do except beat up an old drunk?

Add video-taped assault and battery, looting, desertion, corruption, and theft of 41 Cadillacs to the list of "troubling" actions of the New Orleans Police Department.

Troubling, indeed. That's putting it mildly.

Mayor Ray Nagin has an economic solution: casino gambling. At least the city wouldn't have to pay for cops' Vegas vacations.

Get this: Levee breaches did not result from "hurricane surges that sent water over the tops of the walls" -- the breaches were caused by "massive soil failures under concrete storm walls".

Update: The cops in the beating video plead not guilty!
