Well done NOPD, well done.

But Robert E. Lee's statue is coming down tomorrow so it's all good.

Cut them some slack. All those statues made solving crimes difficult.

After my boy Lee comes down, that murder rate will completely disappear.

Right mitch the bitch? The statues are the problem. Not the hood culture that plagues the city.

It's hard to arrest statues.

Ken Daley wrote a great and very accurate piece on the state of homicide.

"Everybody up there wants out," one detective said, referring to the homicide unit's third-floor office at NOPD headquarters. "Homicide used to be the elite. But we are completely broken."


Another one of Mitch's loyalists in charge of something he has no business over and driving it into the tank.

So by my math, the statues killed 131 people (give or take, considering the other 44 killers might've had multiple victims).

No wonder Mitch Bitch wants them down.

The arrests are generally being made in fluff cases that don't require any extensive investigation (for example, man murders SO, waits for the cops).

Most of the 75% will remain unsolved.

I don't give a shite about the statues but I hate politicians who pander and engage in symbolism while ignoring the real problems that their administration or constituents face.

If it takes 10% of NOPD to take down one statue....how do you expect them to solve 175 murders?

I remember how happy everyone was when we got a white mayor. The city was buzzing from the Saints SB and everything looked great. Then Mitch started messing with the taxi cabs with all these new regulations and it's been down hill ever since.

Do New Orleanians realize that their city is categorized (although better and more enticing) with Memphis, Baltimore, and St. Louis? It's full of crime, poverty, decrepit infrastructure, and corruption. No different than Memphis, St. Louis, and Baltimore.

However, New Orleans and the French Quarter have enough appeal to still attract tourists for a visit.

The reason they can't solve anything is the statues put the word on the street that if you snitch on your homey, the statues will bust a cap in yo' arse.

If only they could kill each other at a faster rate, we could have some real progress
