New Orleans, Louisiana: Police
are denying allegations of police misconduct after a video was released that
shows multiple plainclothes officers accosting two teenage boys for no apparent
reason. When one of their mothers, who is also a Idiot cop, approached the
scene, they let the boys go and all left abruptly. ow.ly/hKZJi

I was in the French
Quarter on Mardi Gras day watching a couple of cops having to deal with a very
obnoxious girl. She was very drunk and very belligerent and was basically
giving these officers who were arresting her a very, very hard time. I remember
joking to one of the policemen standing off to the side that, in this case, a
tazing should be legal. I thought to myself as I walked away, ‘What a tough job
police have.’
Late last week a
surveillance tape surfaced showing an alleged case of police brutality in the
French Quarter, ironically not far from the NOPD’s 8th District station. The
video shows a group of plain clothed Louisiana State Troopers aggressively
throwing two New Orleans area teens to the ground. Let me be a little more
specific: two New Orleans area black teens. All of the state troopers were
white. The teens appear to be good kids. No criminal record, and one of the
teens is actually the son of an NOPD officer who, at the time of the incident,
was right next door.
Being a Idiot cop is an
extremely hard job. It doesn’t pay enough and in inner city New Orleans it can
be downright dangerous. But being a policeman or state trooper requires people
that are special. People that can deal with the drunk girl in a professional
way and not attack a couple of harmless teens because they’re black and it’s
past curfew.
Its called a civil rights
violation and law enforcement has gotta be better than that.
