And the answer to your question is because the mass numbers of New Orleanians who would vote against Cantrell left over 30 years ago.
No, but I live close enough for her policies to affect me. The current NOPD situation in New Orleans is not entirely her fault (hiring freezes started with Landrieu), but she's been concurrent with the approach. It's only a matter of time to when the crime invades near by parishes.
Then, one of these sheriff's officers will kill a car jacker (in the right or wrong), and it will become a HUGE ordeal.
It'll be like the crime increases in Houston after Katrina.
It's not a black or white issue. It's a tolerance for criminal behavior. And, the resolution is not simple by any means. It begins with education, which taxpayers in Louisiana don't want to cover that expense. Home environment...you know the drill.

True. The NOPD has been in free fall since Dutch Morial. Crime invades the near by parishes all the time, and the trends don't look great.

Ha. Billions have been spent on education. Why was crime so low in the first half of the 20th Century? We didn't spend money on education then either.

Before even Katrina, was told by a J.P. detective that over 80% of the crime in Jefferson Parish was being committed by Orleanians crossing that imaginary parish line looking for easy marks.
After all, the fertile areas for opportunity like the Lake Forest Mall no longer exist.
Some stats you'll never hear in the local media, nor for classroom discussion in the local propaganda mills:
Prior to Katrina there were over a thousand felonies being committed in Orleans per week.
Sounds nearly impossible, doesn't it?.
Prior to Katrina there were over 40,000 designated Career Criminals documented in the Sheriff's Office -NOPD data bases.
Much of that was exported to other cities by Katrina.
Now all these years later with a considerably smaller population, the crime is back and on an uptick.
Last Monday, Lakeview had over 25 car break-ins.
No matter what new "programs" and progressive new enforcement methods are instituted by this Agenda 21 crowd that's trying to run this city, it's going to get a whole lot worse before it gets intolerable.
