The police in many ways serve as a protection racket for criminals

There are many commonly held fallacies, but the belief that the police are there to help you is probably the most accepted.

Pretty sure most cops know who the bad guys are and where they are. Some old West justice may be needed.

So civilian "detectives" will be collecting evidence. Wonder how many criminal cases will be thrown our of court for failure to maintain a legal chain of command of evidence? With a shortage of on the street cops, who will be doing the training of these "detectives"? Paper pushers of a questionable quality.

Council asks judge to immediately halt Cantrell admin’s disbursement of Wisner Trust funds

by MICHAEL ISAAC STEIN

The suit is part of an even longer tussle between Cantrell and the council over whether the Cantrell administration is unnecessarily ceding millions of dollars a year to a group of nonprofits and roughly 50 private individuals.

“Millions of dollars in Trust revenues — revenues rightfully owned by the city — are being divested from the Council and the City of New Orleans annually in favor of hundreds of known and unknown purported beneficiaries and other unknown recipients,” Thursday’s motion said.

City council members, as well as expert legal observers, have argued that when the agreement expired in 2014, the payments to the nonprofits and Wisner heirs should have ceased, and the land should have been wholly owned by the city. In fact, then-Mayor Mitch Landrieu went to court in 2012 to ensure the trust would expire and revert to city control.

But despite winning that litigation, Landrieu didn’t terminate the agreement. Instead, he signed a series of short-term extensions, and maintained the same revenue sharing agreement until he left office in 2018. When Cantrell replaced him, she did the same. 

But in 2020, as The Lens reported, the Cantrell administration quietly signed an agreement that would continue the revenue sharing in perpetuity. Some City Council members were confused as to why the city would cede millions of dollars a year to private groups and individuals, even though it seemingly had no legal obligation to.

There were also questions about whether the contract was even legal. In its suit, the council argues that it should have received City Council approval. The suit also claims that “upon information and belief” the agreement was never reviewed by the city’s Law Department, which was also required. 

The council’s suit takes issue with certain changes the 2020 agreement made to the status quo. First, it gets rid of the public body that currently oversees the trust — called Edward Wisner Donation Advisory Committee — and replaces it with a private board. 

“The 2020 ratification agreement purports to replace the Advisory Committee — established by the City Code and held by the Louisiana Fourth Circuit to be subject to open meetings laws — with a privately managed board shielded from oversight and scrutiny from the public, the media, or the City Council,” the suit says.

The suit also notes that instead of setting an expiration date — such as the 100-year term set in the original Wisner agreement — the 2020 agreement puts the revenue sharing agreement in place in perpetuity.
