Newbie 0 #1 September 5, 2005 Talk about making a bad situation worse. This is just inexcusable if it's true (which i have to say, looks that way). http://www.zippyvideos.com/8911023771013466/countdown-looting-in-walmart/ "Skydiving is a door" Happythoughts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shropshire 0 #6 September 5, 2005 Yes I guess that's right.... fair point.

You know what, given the circumstances, the lack or power, water, food, clean clothing ....why not. Not being able to buy food and water, how many of us would just take it? I would and I think you would too. Now the electronics and pretty things, no, I don't believe I would.----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Rookie120 0 #8 September 5, 2005 Oh dont get me wrong. I wish the absolute worse for them. These 2 are the worse the department has to offer and they dont deserve to wear the badge. They obviously forgot what that badge represents, Honor, Duty, Loyalty, Respect, Public service, Integrity. They dont have any of those qualities in my view.If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would and I think you would too I think the main reason it was a problem was because the officers in question were 'finding' shoes...not work shoes or tennis shoes...heels, dress shoes. Wonder how those taste...ask my dogs. The other items being 'found' in the video.....toy jeeps(does no one see the WATER EVERYWHERE), electronics (uh, works well with no electricity) and other non-essential or even practical items. Edited to add: When confronted by the news reporter about what she was doing there she left the shoe isle and wandered amongst the cat-who-ate-the-canary types 'finding' items saying she was looking for looters, but could not find any.Life is not fair and there are no guarantees...

slug 1 #19 September 5, 2005 Hi Rookie Interesting We saw the origional when the cops asked the reporter with his crew (camera audio etc) if they were looters. The police in NO have a interesting history, and since the city will be closed down for a significant amount of time a lot of NO cops are out of a job. Wouldn't it be intersting if the two cops who were caught shopping at walmart either left the money for the stuff they bought or just sent a check directly to Wal mart R.i.P.

Once again I didnt sse them looting water and food. They were taking shoes, pants, shirts so dont give me this "they are thirsty and hungry" bit. Well, if I had been without a shower for few days, and without a change of clothes, I'd go for a clean wardrobe. I'd consider these as essentials under the circumstances. But that's off the subject. The cops were indeed caught with their hands in the cookie jar. And it seems they were shopping for more than essentials. I love the "I'm looking for looters" line... Say bye-bye ladies...
