N.O.P.D. gets tough.

Wow, this is definately not good for the city of New Orleans. The cops are probably under a tremendous amount of stress, and it seems like the finger pointing is only relagated to President Bush. People are laying the blame on the Police Officers there as well.

I'm not sure what the exact circumstances are of this arrest, but it appears as if the cops are fighting with a resisting perp and they are trying to restrain him. The video also seems to show a cop punching the perp in the face. Not good. The cuffs aren't on yet, but the perp is clearly outnumbered. The worse part about this whole thing is that the Captian of their dept. is already damning them. They're being arrested (which probably means fired) without a proper investigation. The Captain, and other Brass clearly want to distance themselves from this mess (leave your boys out to dry), as they already have a huge P.R. mess to deal with, with cops that during hurricane Katherine were, AWOL, looting and downright stealing cars...

Tawee - when I saw that pic, I thought it was you! Thank goodness NYPD doesn't have pictures like that ;-)
