Is there a reason why New Orleans was left off of this list?

Birmingham, Alabama; Indianapolis, Indiana; Memphis, Tennessee; Toledo, Ohio; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Buffalo, New York; Cincinnati, Ohio; Houston, Texas; Jackson, Tennessee; Kansas City, Missouri; Lansing, Michigan, and Springfield, Illinois.

The Justice Department has picked a dozen U.S. cities for intensive assistance fighting a rash of violent crime, including murders.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the coordinated help Tuesday from various branches of the Justice Department, including federal prosecutors in U.S. Attorneys offices, agents from the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration, and officials who oversee law-enforcement-focused grants.
Birmingham, Alabama; Indianapolis, Indiana; Memphis, Tennessee; Toledo, Ohio; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Buffalo, New York; Cincinnati, Ohio; Houston, Texas; Jackson, Tennessee; Kansas City, Missouri; Lansing, Michigan, and Springfield, Illinois.
quote:
"This spike in violent crime is not happening in every city in every neighborhood, but the trend is real and should concern all of us and it must not continue," the attorney general told law enforcement officials at the summit. "For many of our fellow citizens, this is literally a matter of life and death….Every American, no matter who they are, where they live, has the right to live in safe homes, in safe neighborhoods."
quote:
Some cities struggling with a significant surge in murders, including Baltimore, were notably absent from the list. It was not immediately clear whether they were not invited to join or whether they were and declined to participate. Also unclear is what advantage, if any, cities that join the new partnership will have in competitive grant programs.

New Orleans needs some serious, old-school Italian mob families down there. The police aren't getting the job done (even though they are under staffed and under payed). These mob families can provide protection to local restaurants and businesses.

Mitch has already addressed the issue by taking down the statues

I think they already got $40 million earlier this year.
So instead of using it to fight crime, they used the money for cameras (so they could documents the crimes, not do anything about them) and redesigning Bourbon St.

Whoever is in charge of the mobile speed camera units.

I'm pretty sure NOLA already got their money from that program, and that just happened to be the next round of cities getting theirs.

SWB already planned a meeting to select a committee to council with a coalition to study why the crime is out of control. It was determined that the white police Chief is at fault.
No justice department necessary.

My guess is that New Orleans refused help.

New Orleans already receives this type of help from the feds. That is the whole reason the city has to follow the federal consent decree that was issued.

Anyone know the demographics of the cities mentioned?
I think looking at that may be helpful in identifying the problem.
