NOPD Paid Details....Sounds like the MOB's Pay for Protection Scheme

Why does every other business in New Orleans need so many paid details in the first place?

Should not the NOPD doing their JOB in the first place where businesses should not be so afraid to do business without a paid detail?

Do you see paid details at every other restaurant in other SAFE cities? How about Jefferson Parish? Do you see a paid detail for all the restaurants on Veterans, Airline, Williams, etc. like you do in New Orleans?

Why does the DDD, the Downtown Development District, need a paid detail in the first place?
Do they not patrol there anyway? (By the way, Where is all that casino, video poker and lottery money going?)


Did New Orleans and Jefferson Parish need as many paid details 60 or 70 years ago?

If these so called NOPD, "Who risk their lives every day.", actually, do risk their lives dodging bullets, why have they not shot and killed the criminals by now? Are these NOPD such poor shots? I mean, they are "risking" their lives every day, right? Like the NOPD are getting shot at 24/7/365 days a year right? If the current active NOPD and all their retired officers and commanders on pensions, RISKED their LIVES every day, has New Orleans, as a whole been better for it? Do you, the NOPD, have something to show for all your so called "bravery, courage, and public service" for the last 20 to 30 years?

As far as the public is concerned, is seem like the PUBLIC is PAYING TWICE for the same service.
Reminds me of like the MOB's 'pay for protection' scheme.


The NOPD drive around in their squad cars.
Say they are 'covering more ground'.
Then they say, "They can't be everywhere all the time", when a business is robbed.
THEN THEY, the NOPD, SUGGEST a PAID DETAIL.

How convenient!



Update:
And what about the hundreds of millions of dollars that these events like
Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest and French Quarter Fest bring in? Why can't
the NOPD be paid from the HUNDREDS of MILLION of DOLLARS in economic
impact that each of these events 'supposedly' bring in, each and every year?

Should not the extra revenue from the sales taxes, hotel taxes, alcohol taxes, casino taxes, be far more than enough to easily cover overtime and even state police?

It is Hundreds of MILLIONS of DOLLARS according to all the Tourism official and Media?
Is that correct?
