Federal judge terminates NOPD consent decree, ending 12-year oversight of police force

A federal judge ended her 12-year oversight of the New Orleans Police Department on Wednesday, clearing the city and Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick to run the city's police force free of the court monitoring and blueprint for reform that officials say has helped transform a department once mired in scandal.
U.S. District Judge Susie Morgan issued her order shortly before 1 p.m. inside a Loyola Law School auditorium packed with current and former police brass and city officials .
"Everyone in this room should be rightly proud about what NOPD accomplished here," Morgan said.
Morgan, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, granted the longstanding request by Mayor LaToya Cantrell — and recently joined by the Justice Department — to terminate the consent decree before work by the department on a 2-year "sustainment" plan was complete.
Her order marks the end of an era for the city's police force. The NOPD consent decree spanned the bulk of the last two mayoral administrations and the work of five police chiefs, including Kirkpatrick and former interim chief Michelle Woodfork, who was among four of them in attendance.

Thanks Obama.

What did they accomplish under her oversight?

This whole nonsense started with St. Louis. Feds moved in and set up these oversight committees, city hired a whole staff, a big industry that morphed throughout the US larger cities.
When the Trump DOJ tried to remove it from one city.....they sued to keep it in place.
All DEI oriented, swamping cops with mountains of paperwork, so they just let the crimes go rather than fill out 18 forms.
Is there any level of govt left in the US that is not corrupt and stealing from its citizens.

"We have been at this for more than a decade," Morgan told a crowd, dressed mostly in blue. "We all shared the same goal: turning the NOPD into a first-class, empathetic, procedurally just, constitutional law enforcement agency."
What a woman like statement.

Lead monitor Jonathan Aronie said the consent decree "allowed the good kids to take back the playground, and they have.”
Define good kids...

The cost was $20 million to the federal monitors alone over its 12 years, among other expenses associated with reaching myriad benchmarks under what was at the time it was implemented most expansive police consent decree in the U.S. Louisiana attorney general Liz Murrill totaled the tab at around $100 million in a statement that also congratulated the city. A report last year by state Legislative Auditor Michael Waguespack’s office cited a city estimate of $61.3 million resulting from the consent decree, including the monitor’s cost.
Ohh... this cuz NO is broke.

The consent decree has ended, but the work continues," independent police monitor Stella Cziment said in a statement.
The work is never, ever done.

I’ve been noticing NOPD actually pulling people over on Broad the last week or so. It’s been a real mind frick really. I guess it’s related?
Still not getting a brake tag though. Haven’t had one in 7 years.
