re: New Orleans Murder Rate Up 70%

Oscar Fuselier is one of seven OPP inmates since Hurricane Katrina whose deaths are not counted by Gusman's office. Those seven inmate names don't appear on any official count of the jail's dead because Gusman's office had them released from custody after they were transferred to a hospital, a practice that critics say is an intentional circumvention of the public reporting requirements for in-custody deaths."
You said homicide, and unless you think the coroner lied, it wasn't. It wasn't counted as a "death in custody" because the USDOJ doesn't accept it as a death in custody in their annual report. I reviewed this when I was at the DA (after Leon took office) trying to see if we could indict the old 701s from Jordan.
There is not a single person who was stabbed/attacked and subsequently died at hospital who wasn't classified as a homicide.
Chris Blevins was the lone stabbing death in the past decade.

bywater bars are pretty fun to get drunk and people watch, as much as I'd hate to deal with those types of people outside of that environment.
Good people, a bit weird but not in a bad way. I lived there for 2 years when I first moved to town. Banged a ton of hippie chicks/artsy fartsy types.
J and Js on Dauphine is Mecca.

Reason 1,374 why New Orleans is an irreparable dump.

"He was placed in a cell at Orleans Parish Prison with violent offenders. A teenager, being held on an armed robbery charge, harassed him for smelling like urine, then stomped him in the head.
Fuselier lost consciousness at the jail and never woke up.
On his third day at the hospital, nurses told the family to prepare for his death. Sheriff Marlin Gusman's office released him from custody. The guards left. Fuselier's son was glad to see them go, but he didn't know that the consequences of the sheriff's office's release would later torment him.
Fuselier, 59, died a week later, on Aug. 7, 2007, in a hospice, where a doctor listed the cause of death as lung cancer."

Some interesting insights in this thread. I will say that the amount of revenue NO realizes from tourism should create more interest in fixing it than the other garden spots on the list like St. Louis (East St. Louis) and Detroit. But when you combine the culture with the reproduction rate, this is likely to only continue to get worse, especially if the police presence continues to diminish and the remaining cops keep getting the kinder/gentler training.

NOPD: The following data is used by the NOPD to facilitate internal management of the organization and is available online to faciltiate transparency and accountability. The data will be updated weekly and "as of" date will be displayed on each section.
This is great data that is being used by the NOPD Monitor. Gives you a perspective on how how many officers there are, where they are located, etc.

And the local politicians in Baton Rouge continue to push police reform by trying to model it after New Orleans 
Posted on 5/1/17 at 9:57 am to SPEEDY
The only things that should be modeled after NOPD are there ability to handle crowd control for major events.

None of this is true, FYI.
I'm not saying that it is true in New Orleans because I don't know. However, I've written incident reporting software and we were given specs from certain departments throughout the country that were only designed and implemented to do one thing.....fudge the numbers based on loop holes allowed by UCR/IBRS reporting rules.
