"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
New Orleans Police Indicted for Shooting Katrina Refugees Trying to Flee Drowning City
"The officers encountered a group of people on the bridge and opened fire. The officers said at least one person in the group had reached for a gun in his waistband. CNN reported in May that autopsy results showed one of the two people who were killed -- Ronald Madison, 40, a mentally ill man who had no criminal record -- was shot in the back. The results contradict testimony by a police sergeant that the victim had turned toward officers and was reaching into his waistband when he was shot. No guns were ever found." Oops.
