Just read Aftonbladet and I must say im chocked by how horrible things are in New Orleans.
Around 200 cops have resigned and thrown their badges on the table and 2 police 'leaders' have taken their own lifes.
One police they interviewed talked about how the police have to march out and engage the gangs in military style with heavy weapons. And this they must do in wet shoes, in contaminated water and nowhere to take care of their 'natural needs'.

A groups of engineers, the once that actuually are building the city up again was shot at by a gang with hevy weapons and needed police to take care of them.
