30 gard against 30000 refugees are NOT good odds.


Please don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to place any of the blame on the police forces in New Orleans, which I am sure were overstretched to the breaking point. I was thinking about why more weren't more brought in quickly from outside. I heard the police force in NO got hit really hard and their numbers were way down from normal from defections and other reasons. The stress of these days will haunt the ones that reported for the rest of their lives. They are indeed real heros. My anger is directed at the lack of support from the goverment.

Please tell me that you were exaggerating and that there were more than 30. I haven't seen the number of how many were supposed to be there, but it is clear regardless that a lots of people, in every branch of goverment, screwed up very very badly.
