NOLA mayor fights to end the “federal consent decree” that “handcuffs” officers, caused mass resignations
NEW ORLEANS, LA – The Democratic Mayor of New Orleans, LaToya Cantrell, is calling for the end of the decade old federal consent decree with her police department.
Mayor Cantrell says that it is not only creating a hardship for officers to do their jobs but also driving them away from the city.
The New Orleans Police Department agreed to a federal consent decree in 2012 which was designed to combat alleged acts of corruption within the ranks of the agency.
The consent decree was signed and went into effect in July of that year after it was signed by former mayor Mitch Landrieu and former Attorney General Eric Holder.
The consent decree mandated new policies and procedures, as well as federal oversight into anything the law enforcement agency did, something that no one is arguing, was needed ten years ago.
However, since that time, the mayor and others argue that the agency has been able to come into compliance with current laws so it is no longer necessary and is currently only causing a burden.
At a recent news conference, Mayor Cantrell said:
“The consent decree handcuffs our officers by making their jobs harder, pestering them with punitive punishment and burying them with paperwork that is an overburden.”
I say, tough titties, New Orleans. Your Democrat government is as corrupt as any in the country, including Chicago. And, I, for one, have not forgotten that NOLA cops shot at black people for having the audacity to seek shelter while black, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
If the feds end New Orleans consent decree, a whole bunch of people need their heads examined. And, any judge who finds in favor of New Orleans police request needs to be disbarred.
Police work was never meant to be easy, anyway. STFU and do your jobs, or resign. There are other people needing jobs.

The real news is that Aristarchus is still handcuffed, and the unapologetic anti-Semite Runaway is not.

I do not have karma. I was banned on suspicion of being Aristarchus.

I, for one, can confirm that you are not aristarchus. If you were, I would have posted you, and I did not. So silly admins, rescind the spam mod upon this innocent non-aristarchus soylentil. It makes you look bad to make such obvious mistakes.
Of course, you may think that now you can, without remorse, spam mod this post, since you believe I have outed myself as the nefarious and quite dangerous dread philosopher aristarchus? Epistemology is one of the areas philosophers specialize in, the theory of knowledge, as in, how do you know, that just because someone claims to be aristarchus, that they are actually and truly are aristarchus, in fact? Of course, it is even iffier, if they just sound like aristarchus, or say things that criticize janrinok, which, by the way, it is obvious many others do as well.
No, take off the Spam mod. Admit your errors. Repent, admins! You have been suckered by a redneck hillbilly ex-trucker racist bean-grower from Arkansas. You're not the first. Alex Jones is in Austin.

just putting a tag on a post, like #Freearistarchus, is not the same as signing the post, or having an active account to post from. This is not an aristarchus post.

Frosty pisser here. You're too kind! I would like to thank everyone involved in this project, from the charming and virile young lads, ladies, and gentle folk of all genders who believed my comment was interesting, to the fascists/handmaidens with tiny genitals who were burned by the truth. Finally, this would not have been possible had janrinok not allowed the site to turn into a frothing cesspool of antisemitism and bigotry by banning our resident philosopher.

Verified. Aristarchus was banned, so there are none of his posts here. janrinok has even been using dunning kroger aristarchus spotting to ban users who are not even the same gender as Aristarchus, simply for modding good posts up, and possibly for comma placement, and a fascination with memes, but who really knows without any transparency from the site management?! Soon janrinok will ban everyone except khallow, Runaway, and Ethanol-fueled.

First they came for the philosophers, but I was not a philosopher so said nothing.
Then they came for the trannies, but I was not a tranny so said nothing.
Then they came for the socialists and trade-unionists, and I said nothing.
Then they came for the lesbians, but I was not a lesbian so said nothing. (Disappeared the night of the 5th!)

Puuleeease! They cannot come for the aristarchus! They cannot even keep him from posting! They have no idea who he is, and all their bluster amounts to nothing. And still, the anti-semites like Eth and Runaway are still allowed to spew, for some reason. Maybe we need to have a vote of the membership? Not just the alt-right sympathetic admins?

Soon enough Thexalon and DeathMonkey will find that they too are Aristarchus, then they will join us here in janrinok's little fish tank.
Sure, no matter how many spam mods they throw, it's easy enough to keep posting to this little fish tank....
I see all the same old banal talking points from 20 years ago regurgitated on the front page without any refinement or additional analysis. Petty bourgeois programmers unable to turn their algorithmic analysis to capitalism itself.
You could scrape comments from a similar article from Slashdot's heyday and repost them here to the front page, and nobody would be able to tell the difference. Runaway will never be banned. There does not seem to be any point to staying here.
The answer key comes from the dude who doesn't like my Trotskyist links. This site is just some guy's blag. It's not worth it.

Oh, if only I had mod points! But, unfortunately, they have all be stripped by Runaway sockpuppets with admin complicity. I would mod this down, but it would reflect badly on the conservatives on this site, making them look like the deplorable minority they are. This is why I have been mod banned, for some two years now, to not make Runaway feel bad. Thank goodness the Governor of Florida has submitted laws to prevent people like me from making idiots like Runaway feel bad. Poor Runaway. Stupid Runaway. Ignorant Moron Runaway. It all comes home, after a while.
