Titolo: Polizia a pezzi

16:08  Duecento poliziotti disertori
Almeno 200 agenti della polizia di New Orleans hanno abbandonato l'uniforme 
e due si sono suicidati: lo riferisce oggi il New York Times. Il capo della 
polizia Edwin Compass ha ammesso che il morale tra i suoi uomini "è molto 
basso": "Non è facile restare nelle strade devastate tutto il giorno tra 
continue sparatorie, le vetture senza benzina, i piedi tutti i giorno a 
mollo nell'acqua contaminata". Uno dei due poliziotti suicida, nella 
tragedia dell'uragano aveva perduto tutto e non riusciva neppure a sapere 
dove si era rifugiata la sua famiglia. Alcune testimonianze hanno parlato di 
agenti che si sono uniti ai saccheggiatori. Molti degli agenti che stanno 
lavorando a New Orleans hanno le case distrutte dall'inondazione e gravi 
lutti in famiglia.

Il sindaco e il governatore democratici che cosa hanno fatto, negli anni 
precedenti, per migliorare la qualità delle forze di polizia (che sono 
sotto il loro comando)?

Col. Henry Whitehorn, chief of the Louisiana State Police, said he heard
of numerous instances of New Orleans police officers — many from flooded
areas — turning in their badges. ‘‘They indicated that they had lost
everything and didn’t feel that it was worth them going back to take
fire from looters and losing their lives.” 
The response tourist Debbie Durso of Washington, Mich., got in asking a
police officer for assistance was “Go to hell — it’s every man for
himself.”

According to Henry Whitehorn, chief of the Louisiana State Police, many
officers have been handing in their badges. “They indicated that they
had lost everything and didn’t feel that it was worth them going back to
take fire from looters and losing their lives,” he says, while insisting
the looters “will not take control of the city of New Orleans”.
Debbie Durso, a tourist from Michigan, said that when she asked a police
officer for help he told her: “Go to hell. It’s every man for himself.”
Some 88 police officers retreated when confronted by an angry crowd at
the convention centre, while they were trying to investigate rapes and
beatings.

Then the National Guard were issued with orders to shoot to kill.
Louisiana’s governor, Kathleen Blanco, said that among the soldiers were
300 “battle-tested” guardsmen: “They have M-16s and are locked and
loaded. These troops know how to shoot and kill and I expect they will.”

"Three hundred of the Arkansas National Guard have landed in the city of
New Orleans," Ms Blanco said.
"These troops are fresh back from Iraq, well trained, experienced,
battle-tested and under my orders to restore order in the streets.
"They have M-16s and they are locked and loaded.
"These troops know how to shoot and kill and they are more than willing
to do so if necessary and I expect they will."
