The Danzinger Bridge Police Cover-up

The New Orleans Times-Picayune has this editorial on the Danzinger Bridge Police cover-up of the murder and mayhem perpetrated by the police in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.  If you don't know what I mean, this is as good a place to start looking at one of the great official racist crimes in the modern era in this country.

 I plan to revisit this subject again soon, but let's begin with the fact that former New Orleans polic Lt. Michael Lohman has entered a felony guilty plea to covering up crimes by his forces in shootings of black and poor New Oreleanians in the week after Katrina.
