NOLA crime….

Major EE thread, but yes, like other major cities we're dealing with an uptick in crime and a major shortage in policing. There are some random acts of violence - interstate shootings etc - but overall non-violent crime is actually down recently. There are more cameras (both private and public) than ever before. I wouldn't put much stock into the "general feeling" comment. Nationwide, opinion polls for public leaders are all in the toilet. A major economic downturn and rise in crime will do that. New Orleans is really not an outlier - but that's not an all an excuse for our mayor who is basically asleep at the wheel. The police shortage isn't only getting worse, and the issue requires vision that this administration completely lacks. My .02
