Looters

After Katrina this is what happened

The Danziger Bridge was the bloodiest incident of police violence after Katrina, but not the only one. Including Danziger, officers shot at least 10 people during the first week after the storm made landfall Aug. 29, 2005.

Subsequent investigations, mostly by federal authorities, raised serious questions — and prompted criminal prosecutions — in nearly each of those shootings. But several of the officers involved have avoided prison or are still awaiting a final resolution of their cases...

Federal investigators took up the case almost immediately, eventually charging nearly a dozen officers in connection with the shootings and coverup. Five officers – Bowen, Faulcon, Gisevius, Villavaso and Arthur Kaufman, who initially investigated the shooting – stood trial in 2011, and all were found guilty and sent to prison.

But the federal case blew up as prosecutorial misconduct was revealed, including that top deputies in U.S. Attorney Jim Letten's office posted anonymous online comments on NOLA.com savaging the Danziger defendants.

Letten and his two top lieutenants who posted anonymous comments, Sal Perricone and Jan Maselli Mann, retired. U.S. District Judge Kurt D. Englehardt in 2013 overturned the verdict and granted the five officers a new trial.

The government appealed Englehardt's ruling, but last moth the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the order for a new trial. Polite's office has not said whether it will challenge the 5th Circuit ruling, though Romell Madison said prosecutors have told him they like their chances on appeal.

With the incidents in Ferguson MO, Baltimore MD, Chicago IL and elsewhere, it is considered racist to shoot who NR described as the "poor oppressed victims of Capitalism venting their frustrations that the state will not give them all the good things in life other people have worked for..."

So I guess you can only shoot the white looters.
