As expected, I'm afraid... Trigger-happy, nervous officers pushed hard due to the amount of work after Katarina.. It's not against the law to own a gun in N.O is it? Wouldn't be surprised if they were just gunned down before even getting a chance to explain WHY they were carrying guns.. Wondering how the "official" story will be...

I also posted this in the ATSNN thread...

Question:

If you were in New Orleans right now and owned a gun would you not be visibly "carrying" it?

I hope to hell these people were shooting at the cops, or else it was just shooting fish in a barrel.

What are the supposed "rules of engagement" in this situation? Shoot first or only return fire? Anybody know?
