NOPD superintendent appointee on WWL Radio

She’s saying the right things but she sounds 200 years old

Because she is 200 yrs old

And you just know Tommy Tucker is going to ask all the hard hitting, tough questions.

Lol which is why it’s so funny the mayor refuses to talk to him

I think I like this ol broad

I think the more people listen to her talk the more they’ll like this pick. She certainly says the right things.


Maybe not the OT, but people in the city

Mitch destroyed the NOPD and the city by entering into the consent decree. Many on this board predicted the fallout that we see today when he entered into it. If her priority is to comply and then move to terminate it, then she may be able to accomplish something. The crime in the city won’t get better until the consent decree is terminated. Not sure many on this board realize just how much the consent decree prevents NOPD from actually performing law enforcement activities. Crime was really bad prior to it, but for the most part confined to certain areas and was largely drug related. The anarchy, carjackings, broad daylight robberies, and rampant random violence was about 1/10 of what we see today.

One thing that really sets her apart is she’s from Oakland which is also under a consent decree.

The first thing Kirkpatrick mentioned was a way to develop relationships to move NO out of the consent decree and ways to increase staffing.

Until New Orleans moves towards a Giuliani style NYPD stop-and-frisk crackdown, nothing will improve. They need more police, which means a mayor, DA, and superintendent that will back them up.

I read 3 council members will vote no. Did Destroya pick her knowing she would not get approved just keep Woodfork in longer?

Whatever has to be done to get out of the consent decree needs to be done. If its a year or two of total compliance (which will be awful), then so be it.

The stuff they are tripping over isn’t high level shifts in philosophy-

I haven’t been involved in a few years but I recall proper photo arrays for witnesses to ID people being one of the big misses a couple years ago, as an example.
