After witnessing a rise in the number of murders committed in 2016 and a steep uptick in gun violence this year, the NOPD is taking steps to turn things around. Just weeks after unveiling a new $40 million plan to address the city’s crime problem in the French Quarter and throughout the city, NOPD officials announced last week the creation of a new unit aimed at addressing the rise in gun violence. At a press conference Monday, NOPD Superintendent Michael Harrison told reporters that the new unit — which currently consists of eight officers and one sergeant — will focus on those who carry and use illegal guns. |

This is the same NOPD who unlawfully disarmed everyone post-Katrina, right?
Oh, yeah... you should trust them NOW. [eyecross] |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
