N.O.P.D. in the news for the wrong reasons
The latest drama coming out of N.O.P.D. is an officer pulling her weapon without cause. Riley describes the incident as embarrassing, I think it may be worse than that, I think it is dangerous. The speeding cop incident is also dangerous behavior by a police officer. In the rush to restock the N.O.P.D. with new blood are the right people being accepted for the job, are the proper screenings being done before they are accepted to the academy.
The saddest thing that I find with the whole situation is that the good cops, the ones performing their duties properly and professionally all take a credibility hit when things like this happen. My experiences with N.O.P.D. have always been good, I hate to see the good cops being lumped in with the bad cops at N.O.P.D.
Update:
I must be mellowing in my old age I used to be able to express a lot of anger and drop a few F bombs when I post. After reading some of my fellow Nola Blogger posts on the NOPD I am definitely G rated.
Gris Grits has this to say , Dangerblonde wrote this one , Gentilly Girl is all riled up , BigEZBear at Humid city has this to say. Almost left out this one from People Get Ready.
I guess I need to get with the program I am letting the mooks off too easy these days.
