50% of the NO police and firemen took off. They are the first responder. Face it your liberal welfare utopia failed. You turn humans into helpless animals.

Why is it that in the Parks it says don't feed the animals?

No respect
"Houston police officer Robert King, a 29-year veteran, patrols the department's Fondren Division in the southwest part of the city, a rugged section with some of the city's highest crime rates.
"'I've met three nice people from New Orleans,' King said, 'out of hundreds.'
"He said the difference between the hometown folks and the evacuees is in their demeanor.
"'Their attitude is not something we're used to encountering,' King said. ...
"'Crime has gone up tremendously' since the evacuees arrived, officer K. Raven said. 'And when you try to approach some of these guys, they act like they just don't respect us. They don't have any respect for the police.'
"'And with rare exception," King added, 'if I have to jack somebody up on the street in the middle of the night, they're from New Orleans.'"
