He is right - the worst enemy of those trying to maintain order in the Superdome was handheld radios.

Hey, Chief Eddie, great police work!
Can't wait for the next black hurricane sent by Karl Rove and President Bush!

I like how the only people effected by Katrina were blacks in NOLA....

Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans
The false reports didn't keep a journalist who repeated such incorrect detail from getting a Pulitzer Prize.
The retractions need to be louder.

The post Katrina aftermath was largely a myth. A media driven hysteria which is now enshrined as part of American Mythology.
I'd like to personally B*tch slap Sheppard Smith for his part in it.. actually, I have never liked that twerp, I'd like to slap him upside the head just for being himself.

No cable here. Sounds like Spike Lee may have something going on here!
Live thread, anyone?

Notice he doesn't apologize for, nor even mention, the orders to confiscate all privately owned firearms. This despite the fact that a court ruled that those orders were illegal, and that the firearms must be returned to their rightful owners. Doesn't mention dragging their feet on those returns either.

I want to know why the headline doesn't read "FORMER POLICE CHEIF"?
To: gopwinsin04
He lied about THAT, just like he LIED when he said he did not steal 1,000's of guns from the law abiding. But what can one expect from Chocolate City?

"The post Katrina aftermath was largely a myth."
Really? You know, I have read that a lot on FR. I'm of the opinion that the real "myth" is the unprecendented occurence of the media "slapping it's own hand" on this one.
I've yet to speak to anyone who was actually there who would tell you they lived a "myth".

I am confused, as one who lives 75 miles east of New Orleans, (Mississippi), how this man can lie and said none of this was true. Not only were their rapes, in hospitals of their staff, and stealing drugs from the hospitals, they, the thugs, stayed behind to loot, pillage and plunder. They were in fact, shooting at relief personnel, firefighters, police, hence, some leaving, UNTIL the military came in and blew them away, even while shooting from inside of the brick buildings. The powers that be in New Orleans did in fact recieve billions from our government and have as of yet dispursed said funds. The only decent people left in New Orleans are some business owners, and locals around the Garden District. It is a literal ghost town. BUT NOT AS A FAULT OF OUR GOVERNMENT.
Makes good airplay though, and imagine if a white Nagen made those statements recently, what would happen. He should be in jail along with the gov.

I still can see Shep having a fit about babies dying at the convention center.
All rumors reported as truth.
