jury convicts 5 police for deadly shootings after Hurricane Katrina
YAHOO: NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A federal jury on Friday convicted five current or former police officers in deadly shootings on a New Orleans bridge after Hurricane Katrina, a high-profile victory for the Justice Department in its push to clean up the city’s troubled police department.

The letter below is being sent to you in behalf of Dr. Firpo Carr. Dr. Carr has been very instrumental in drawing attention to the unfair indictment of my brother, Sgt. Gerard Dugué. I invite you to please examine Dr. Carr’s articles. Thank you very much.

The Henry Glover case and the Danzinger Bridge incident have serious implications in relations between the Black community and the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD). Both cases have captured the interest of the national press, not the least of which is the Los Angeles Sentinel-L.A. Watts Times newspaper.
Not only is this paper the preeminent one for L.A.’s African American community, but Danny J. Bakewell, Sr.—the paper’s Executive Publisher, Chief Executive Officer, President, and Executive Editor—is also the chairman of the National Newspaper Publishers Association.
We are attempting to draw both national and international attention to the egregious post-Katrina events perpetrated against African Americans by rouge NOPD cops. This is not an indictment on all NOPD officers.
There are fine police officers who did their best, both during and after Hurricane Katrina’s wrath. According to all available evidence, one of these is retired Sergeant Gerard Dugué. Unfortunately, Mr. Dugué was unfairly indicted, and it is our belief that, in the interest of justice, attention should be drawn to this fact.
Our feeling is, Why add insult to injury by trying and possibly convicting an innocent man? There have already been too many tragedies associated with Hurricane Katrina, some of them preventable. We are hoping you will join us in trying to halt the makings of an obvious travesty.
Please click “Dugué Defense” link at the http://www.firpocarr.com website. Articles on Dugué’s innocence have already appeared online—in 34 languages. There is a keen worldwide interest in his case.
You will note one of the articles quotes from Gerard’s brother-in law, C. Arnold Lain, a Black lawyer in Winnsboro, Louisiana. (http://www.firpocarr.com/katrina.html)

Dr. Firpo Carr continues to expose the Justice Department’s sham case against Sgt. Gerard Dugué. It is quite evident that they recognize the public is aware that Sgt. Dugué is innocent regarding the bogus charges against him in the Danziger Bridge murders. In the “Dugué Defense Part 5,” you will see and feel the government’s desperation as they shamelessly pervert the truth regarding Dugué’s investigation of the 2001 Gert Town shooting. In doing so they continue to waste taxpayers’ money in their witch-hunt.

Dr. Firpo Carr continues to expose the government’s inexcusable and reckless action in unjustly indicting Sgt. Gerard Dugué in connection with the Danziger Bridge murders. In the “Dugué Defense Part 4,” Dr. Carr exposes the FBI’s deceptive reporting on their interviewing of Sgt. Dugué and the Justice Department’s employing the “Straw Man Fallacy” in their continuing efforts to put on trial an innocent man, Sgt. Gerard Dugué. We invite you to click on the following link:

(Please note that Sgt. Gerard Dugué was not in Gonzales, Texas, during the Danziger Bridge shooting. This was a misunderstanding. Gerard was actually in Gonzales, Louisiana, during the shooting. Nevertheless, the point is that he was not in New Orleans during the shooting.)
