New Orleans Finest Help (Themselves)

Charles Porter sends this in from the New Orleans Times-Picayune: One man said police directed him to Wal-Mart from Robert’s Grocery, where a similar scene was taking place. A crowd in the electronics section said one officer broke the glass DVD case so people wouldn’t cut themselves. “The police got all the best stuff. They’re crookeder than us,” one man said. Says Mr. Porter: The New Orleans P.D. has a long and well-deserved reputation as one of the most corrupt in the nation.
