Police Looting Walmart

[Son Goten]

Now this is interesting, the cop saying that they're "just doing their job" or is it just more than that? Judge for yourself:

"And what do you do when you find them, because I think I see them!"

That part cracked me up. When I first clicked the link I was under the assumption it was a video regarding some national guard and emergency responders taking supplies from Wal-Mart I'd seen earlier - which is legal (in states of emergency the authorities have very extended powers to 'commandeer' anything they see as being needed)... However, tennis shoes don't seem to be something that would be very important. Absolutely amazing to see something like that... now I can understand why the Wal-Mart's in my area have been closing at 10pm each night.

" On Thursday morning, that crew saw a caravan of 13 Wal-Mart tractor trailers headed into town to bring food, water and supplies to a dying city. "

NEW ORLEANS FLASHBACK: OFFICALS WARNED RESIDENTS 'YOU'LL BE ON YOUR OWN'
Mon Sep 05 2005 18:57:15 ET

Before residents had ever heard the words "Hurricane Katrina," the New Orleans TIMES-PICAYUNE ran a story warning residents: If you stay behind during a big storm, you'll be on your own!

Editors at TIMES-PICAYUNE on Monday called for every official at the Federal Emergency Management Agency to be fired. In an open letter to President Bush, the paper said: "Our people deserved rescuing. Many who could have been were not. That's to the government's shame."

But the TIMES-PICAYUNE published a story on July 24, 2005 stating: City, state and federal emergency officials are preparing to give a historically blunt message: "In the event of a major hurricane, you're on your own."

Staff writer Bruce Nolan reported some 7 weeks before Katrina: "In scripted appearances being recorded now, officials such as Mayor Ray Nagin, local Red Cross Executive Director Kay Wilkins and City Council President Oliver Thomas drive home the word that the city does not have the resources to move out of harm's way an estimated 134,000 people without transportation."

"In the video, made by the anti-poverty agency Total Community Action, they urge those people to make arrangements now by finding their own ways to leave the city in the event of an evacuation.

"You're responsible for your safety, and you should be responsible for the person next to you," Wilkins said in an interview. "If you have some room to get that person out of town, the Red Cross will have a space for that person outside the area. We can help you."

diablo,

I can't imagine white cops taking tennis shoes from Walmart. I just can't.... Back to your message: so what part actually cracked you up?

The fact that looting was so obvious and rampant - I mean, kids were riding around on bicycles in the store grabbing whatever they wanted - yet the officer had the nerve to say she was just "looking for looters".
