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.

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.
