To Protect and Serve… Themselves

Posted 29 Sep 2005 in disaster

If you watched any of the coverage of the looting that went on after Hurricane Katrina, you probably remember the MSNBC footage which showed a few of New Orleans’ finest brazenly helping themselves in the middle of a Wal-Mart, even while being questioned on the air by a reporter.

Well, now we’ve got the official spin from the New Orleans Police Department:

Police spokesman Marlon Defillo said police are looking into the possibility that up to 12 officers were involved in misconduct.

The Police Department has 1,750 officers.

He rejected the use of the term “looting” but said authorities were investigating “the possibility of appropriation of non-essential items during the height of Katrina, from businesses.”

Is that anything like when the AP reported the difference between “looting” and “finding”?
