Cops Fired and other local stuff...

It's kind of funny. They fired 51 Officers from the New Orleans police force yesterday. Why is that funny? They haven't seen or heard from most of them since the storm. I'm thinking they pretty much quit.

They had an emergency landing on Plank Road north of Baton Rouge a couple of days ago. The pilot ran out of fuel. A day later he got his plane refueled. He was offered a tow to the airport and refused. He tried to take off, clipped an 18 wheeler and crashed into some brush and trees. Talk about adding insult to injury.

Baton Rouge crime has been steadily decreasing over the past few years. However, since Katrina car thefts, robberies and rapes/assaults have risen dramatically. The police chief says that he doesn't believe all of the cars were stolen from this area; only reported here. He also looks at it as a positive thing that many of the robberies were not against local businesses but against Hurricane Evacuees. Hmmm. I think that probably depends on your point of view, huh. He should ask the victims how they feel.
