You know crime is bad when even the NOPD folds up shop
NOLA
The New Orleans Police Department closed its station in the French Quarter Tuesday afternoon after threats were made against officers there by someone who called 911, the agency said.
At about 3:25 p.m., police said they were shutting down the 8th District station in the 300 block of Royal Street — which is usually open 24 hours a day — for the rest of Tuesday. An agency spokesperson said it was “out of an abundance of caution” following threats against 8th District officers that were sent through 911 dispatchers.
“No injuries have been reported, and the (case) is under active investigation,” the spokesperson added.
The 8th District station is the headquarters for officers patrolling the French Quarter, Central Business District and Faubourg Marigny, all of which are areas that are popular with tourists.
Police asked residents, business owners and visitors in those neighborhoods to go to NOLA.gov/NOPDonline to report any non-emergency crimes online. Any emergencies should continue to be reported to 911, police said.

In the future when I want to rob a bank in the city, I now know what step 1 is.
And the last step is to haul arse in the getaway car because NOPD isn’t allowed to chase.
Mission accomplished.

You don't need a weapon at home, just call the police to protect you. Lol

Shadowvision vs The Mexican Ninja. It could be a comic book classic.

A prank call shut down a precinct in the biggest tourism area of the state.
They said it was never Ghana happen, but here we are, dangling tourists in front of predators like limbs from a fallen hotel.
