Police also found a conversion device, which turns a gun into a fully automatic weapon.
so they found an FRT which does NOT turn it into a fully automatic weapon.

I’m surprised there weren’t more issues reported between Jackson and the overpass. Rode bike back downtown after Muses and it was a mess.

Looks like they put extra resources into part of that stretch.

Supt. Anne Kirkpatrick said specialized units intercepted what she called bad actors along the route. One unit focused efforts on St. Charles Avenue between Calliope and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

Proactive policing in general - refreshing to see. Go Go Gadget Grannie!

Kirkpatrick said new tactics and additional training helped officers spot guns along the parade route. “A lot of time, bad actors who are not following the law who are not carrying a gun in a holster, say they tuck it into a pocket. That’s a negligent carry. Our officers have been trained to look for things that are violations of the law,” she said.

Kirkpatrick praised the help of state and federal agents, including the National Guard in the French Quarter. She said the Guard’s presence prompted someone to abandon a bag near Conti and Bourbon Street on Feb. 8 at 2 a.m. “We came across an abandoned backpack with a weapon and a drum magazine in it. We believe that was a direct result of the National Guard being present and them knowing they would be searched and abandoned it,” Kirkpatrick said.

Prior to Mardi Gras, the FBI conducted a three-week roundup of the city’s most violent offenders. Kirkpatrick said the FBI arrested 175 people before they could reach the parade route.

It’s laughable how much different verbiage will be created to not say criminal.
