One thing in New Orleans hasn't changed

The atrocious behavior of the NOPD. Tow truck contractors, in the city to pick up cars whose owners have made insurance claims on them, say they are being insulted and held at gunpoint by NOPD officers. The officers continue to harrass them even after seeing their FEMA papers, which are also signed by the governor of Louisiana. In other parishes, they are also being insulted and threatened, only not as much. Law enforcement officers tell the contractors to leave so that Louisiana contractors can have the jobs. The problem is, Louisiana towers already have too much work and cannot do the insurance jobs, even when FEMA towers offer to contract with them.

How come that doesn't surprise me... Of course I remember the same sort of treatment from the police in Dallas, Texas, but it was 25 years ago when I lived there.
