The Demonstrations in Minnesota (Update: Now Nationwide){Now International}

Thanks for the info. In that context, I guess there wasn't much NOPD could do.

But, it is kind of ironic that NOPD tear gassed people to protect them. At the same time, it's probably true as we all know JPSO would not have allowed anything like this without violence. It also sounds like they don't want to tell us that JPSO told them that if people crossed the Parish line, they would respond with force.

I mean, we all remember what happened to people who crossed into Gretna trying to escape the flooded Eastbank after Katrina. The Gretna PD was recently ranked as one of the worst PD's in the country based on violence towards minorities and brutality complaints per capita. I doubt those protesters would have liked what they had in store for them more than the tear gas from the NOPD. We've noted in numerous threads the difference between how things go down once you cross from Orleans into Jefferson.
