The same ones who were too busy looting to be bothered with keeping civil order?
The same ones who were reported as turning in their badges rather than trying to maintain order.
Or the ones too busy walking off the job to be bothered with keeping civil order, or the ones too busy pocketing money to set up a flood-resistant communications system.
Consider these two bits of information -
1. Two thirds of New Orleans poulation is African-American.
2. Two thirds of the New Orleans Police Dept. abandoned their posts.

“I might likely have to punch him – literally…Landrieu also blamed Bush for cutting funding for levee improvement, before bursting into tears on camera.”
Fine display of LA leadership. Act tough and then run off cry.
I did see a wonderful story about a group of citizens in some remote area that were being protected by 4 NO police.
Eventually they were rescued, but the black police officer said the problem were the men. When the helicopters finally showed, all the men were pushing and shoving to get on. Then he said, "Those men were cowards."
