Now What? Two years ago PANO commissioned a survey through Tulane University which revealed the same problems. The Mayor and the NOPD did nothing! They actually denied their was a problem. Now what? Will anything meaningful be done to address this? Well, lets see... We have 10 people shot on Bourbon Street and the Bourbon St. Merchants crying out for additional police patrols. We have police officers who are critically underpaid,underappreciated and who have not had a raise sinceo 2007 forced to work OPSE details to earn additional money. And we have the City who tells the Bourbon St. Merchants that they will have to apt for the extra patrols themselves because the NOPD can not afford it. Then, we have the CITY take 4 MILLION DOLLARS from the NOPD to pay for non police related issues? Cops have to work details to earn a living, citizens have to paY the CITY to keep earning a living, and the CITY walks away fat and happy. Now what? I am not even on the job anymore and I wanna pick up a sign and walk around City Hall with a list of problems. I am just afraid I may get a hernia because the sign would have to be HUGE!
