re: State Troopers walking French Quarter streets

The dumb thing about the St.Police presence now is that after Essence, the Quarter is always slow, i.e. very few tourists as no conventions will book N.O. in the heat of the summer mths, till Labor Day wkend. And that is when they are supposed to leave??? Part of the problem is no doubt the smaller numbers of NOPD on duty, but as well, the POS who used to stay in their own areas are now migrating to where the money is, and those POS all have guns & no value for human life.
