That one could be the Singapore Air Force.

They have a group of CH-47s in the area, according to Singapore news they are working away in the New Orleans area.

Canada has offered RCMP help in restoring order. I'm not too sure I know what to make of the concept of non-US personnel undertaking such duties, though I guess they could at least be 'deputised' to the standards of the military troops to the extent of 'Aid to the Local Power'

AK with a thumbhole stock.  Other officer seems to have a mini14.




Cabby,

How do you know they are LEO?



Hat on the guy in the side door plus the photographer said they were.  He's ex-army (possibly SF) and has been hunkered down in the central business district at some sort of telecom/internet facility.  He has been in contact with the police on a daily basis and I think he can tell the good guys from the bad better than we can from one picture.

Cabby



Ok.  Just wondering.  Thanks.

Believe that is a MAK-90.

Replacing the normal stock with a thumbhole stock made the
otherwise banned AK something legal to import after Clinton

Nope!  It's a Red Rider as mentioned above.  Lol! If he points that at someone he's likely to get more than his eye shot out.  Kinda like bringing the preverbial knife to a gunfight.

I have shot a squirrel with my Red Ryder.  Squirrel screached and just ran away.  Its a fun BB gun, but its very weak. But it holds like 700 BBs, so I guess he could kill something if he shot it enough times.

At least he's still on the job.  Don't know how professional and strac you can look after five days in 90+ heat, 90% humidity, up to your ass in sewage, poly uniform, probably little to no sleep, minimal water and food.  Cut the dude some slack.

That was one of the things that was eating Shep up.  Hope the little girl turns out OK.  She was running a pretty high fever when Shep found the mother and had one of his guys find an LEO.  That guy came up and loaded a bunch of people in his shop and left.  Took the baby from mamcita right there while Shep was talking to her.
I think it's little glimpses of the personal struggles like this that keep the wieght of losing an entire city from being numbed over.

I couldn't agree more.

For lack of a better of a statement, it's as if  the looters, the rapists, the murderers, and the rest of the dregs are ruining the tragedy of the disaster.

It's the stories above that make me want to help and send what money and donations that I can.  Then I see the negative sides of it and that's what makes me want to turn away.

I THINK, but I'm not really sure, that the point was you use the buses before they are underwater.  At least that's the way I would do it.  But hey, I'm not da mayor.

Let me rephrase - I think he should be wearing a vest that says "Sherrif's Dept" in big yellow letters, so I, as a citizen know he isn't a looter.
My comment was on the lack of ID, not on lack of professionalism.
I do see how it could be taken the wrong way though.

Alright, and I can see your point.  He is wearing a NOPuD hat and a badge around his neck.  That might be all that he has.  For all we know, his jacket/vest/whatever is in his car under 8 feet of water or at home under 30.  I don't remember if it looked like he was even wearing armor, and I'm pretty sure that he would want that if had access to it.

Looking at that pic is shows the Mayor's ignorance when he is blaming the Federal Gov for all the hardship.




The citizens were told to evacuate BEFORE the storm hit. If these people did not heed the warning it should not be the job of the city government to get people to leave. The thing that gets me about that picture is the fact that those buses were not moved to higher ground before the storm. That is a waste.
