Sad to hear about the passing today of former NOPD Superintendent Richard Pennington, reform-minded chief who served from 1994 to 2002.

Damn. One of the few New Orleans public officials to have a positive impact.

Probably would have been mayor, but for the impact he had on his wife.

from the earlier link I posted...
quote:
As Pennington was being sworn into office at Gallier Hall, he received word that federal agents were investigating a ring of corrupt officers, including Len Davis, who is now serving a death sentence for orchestrating a hit on Kim Groves, a woman who had filed a brutality complaint against him.
“I thought, my Lord, what am I getting myself into?” Pennington said years later.
ETA: the fact the Len Davis, Antoinette Frank & Rogers LaCaze are all still alive
I know not Pennington's fault... just saying

No doubt, those early years had to be insane.
