I hope the cops have some dang good armor. It sounds like they need to be wearing it on an hourly basis.
Roving bands of armed lunatics, that's just great. Normally, I would say something like, "Arm the law-abiding citizens, and let them protect themselves." Only, there doesn't seem to be too many law-abiding citizens left in New Orleans right now. Desperate City indeed, very desperate. Is there a law that I would not break when my family is starving? (...well, yeah. I wouldn't try to kill contractors and exchange gunfire with law-enforcement officials.)Police shot and killed at least five people Sunday after gunmen opened fire on a group of contractors traveling across a bridge on their way to make repairs, authorities said.
Deputy Police Chief W.J. Riley said police shot at eight people carrying guns, killing five or six.
Fourteen contractors were traveling across the Danziger Bridge under police escort when they came under fire, said John Hall, a spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers. They were on their way to launch barges into Lake Pontchartrain to help plug the breach in the 17th Street Canal, Hall said.
