They shoot each other all the time down there, this is nothing new. Hell, everyone remembers those idiots shooting at cops trying to rescue people after Katrina. Definitely a anti gun movement thing.

The best way to kill a stereotype is to stomp on the people who act in a way that perpetuates it, not allow them to hide in the general population by keeping your mouth shut.

Of course the same statement applies to the NOPD too. If I was black, poor, and living in NO I'd probably avoid getting on that corrupt organization's radar as well.

Fixed.
Two places where I would never live, because of reported ingrained police corruption, are NOLA and Miami.
