re: NOLA Kid Had A Bad Day

Katrina being 13 years ago. You’ve got teens with serious childhood traumas and a decade of living in the east— it’s always been an issue but seems we should be feeling a spike with disenfranchised 16-20 year olds...

And that hits at the same time our police department is very low in officer counts... and sneaking up on a TON of officers ready to take pensions.

And we’re putting these guys in a jail that’s an absolute disaster.... and no shock they come out worse off than when they went in...

At some point the city needs to have a serious talk about the system we have in place.

And that ignores things like the lack of public defenders for the ones that we shouldn’t even be putting in jail (not applicable here)
