As I said before (in the other thread), I'm not opposed to condemning bad police behavior; I just don't want to jump on the bandwagon of someone with an agenda who is twisting facts to suit their goals. [snip]

You insisted that the initial report by the paramedics was all fabricated. Then when similar stories by overseas tourists were reported, you insisted those reports were unreliable because they were from non-US media. Then when a US media source (Associated Press) reported these incidents, you still denied them. Now that the New York Times has reported this, including the police chief's
confirmation that his officers were sealing off New Orleans and preventing people from escaping the flooded city, you're still in denial.
