Police report

Comment: Remember that Police beating in New Orleans with that old man? Well, two cops have lost their jobs over it.

((Police Supt. Warren J. Riley announced that Robert Evangelist and Lance Schilling had been fired.))

Those were the two that beat him until there was blood, and let him lay in for a while face down.

((A third officer accused of grabbing a reporter during the incident, Stuart M. Smith, was suspended for 120 days, the department said.))

Remember, this was the one that shoved a reporter, and then felt bad about it afterwards by giving him his badge number.

((Police officials have suggested that the stress shouldered by many officers after the hurricane might have contributed to the incident. As much as three-quarters of the force was left homeless.))

This might be true, but in times of crisis, people look to the Law Enforcement officers for guidance and support. Unlike the rest of the public, they have to maintain order, not destroy it. That’s what separates them from the thugs that stole food from starving families. When they start acting like the trash themselves, we have a problem.

Comment: ((Two off-duty Baltimore police officers were shot to death at a suburban town house, and another law enforcement officer turned himself in a short time later, authorities said.))

This is very vague…
