#1 Two officers Compass described as friends committed suicide.

really? Two? How close were they? To give us some idea of proportion, what was the total number of police officers who committed suicide. Why did they commit suicide?

Leave it to the MSM to leave those obvious questions unanswered.

Neither Compass nor Mayor Ray Nagin would say whether Compass was pressured to leave.

Which means he was fired.

#2 Not so sure - overwhelmed from the start, may just have found a best time to bail...26 yrs service, looters and AWOLS on board, friends committing suicide? Perhaps best for all considered that new blood came in and kicked ass

#4 At the height of the Katrina chaos, Compass fed the image of lawlessness in the city by publicly repeating allegations that people were being beaten and babies raped at the convention center, where thousands of evacuees had taken shelter. The allegations have since proved largely unsubstantiated.

That's what got his sorry ass pushed out.

#6 There's a rumor going around (sorry, I don't have a solid link except to Tony Snow's radio show) that the FBI has been investigating the records of the cops that allegedly deserted and finding that a lot of them didn't exist in the first place.

I've heard numbers ranging from 200 to 400.

I don't know if it's true, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

#8 Phil; what's that mean?

I assume new blood meant Lt. Gen. Honore...

#9 If true Phil that's good old time Democratic politics. That is the reason they are trying to dip everyone else in shit, they happen to be covered in it.

#10 Ed, it means they had people on the payroll who weren't on the force, and were possibly even ficticious.
