OT > We're not a police state unlike many countries (3). telegraph.co.uk >>Police warned for the first time yesterday that they had the powers to force an evacuation of New Orleans if residents refused to leave. Thousands appeared determined to see out the disaster, many living in squalid conditions in attics with flood water lapping against their homes. Police said there was no justification for staying and the threat of disease made their departure imperative. "There is absolutely no reason to stay. There are no jobs, there are no homes to go to, no hotels. There is nothing here," said Warren Riley, the deputy chief of police. "We advised people that this city has been destroyed, and it's completely been destroyed," he said. "There is no power, trees are down, power lines are down. "Our law enforcement people are not involved in taking people off the street and forcing them out of the city at this point. There may come a time where we get into that mode."<< That will be when they decide to rebuild it as a Disneyland and casino.
