Side note. When did Riverwalk parking become a flat rate event fee of 40? I was here a couple months ago and it was still time based .
Probably due to the large cheerleading event at the convention center next door

Both the mayor and chief were doing damage control for that restaurant. How horrible to have that happen in your business, or be a patron and that happen. Horrifying.
It’s a New Orleans institution but the projects are literally across the street and if you turn the other direction it’s only worse
You can’t in good faith send out of towners there - which makes it awkward that it’s featured in every tourist guide

can't even see why she has a beef with the city. The municipal government didn't indict her. She didn't get voted out. She knew about term limits before she ran.
She had some pretty tense relations with city council
re: When it comes to cheating, who is more to blame: the married or the mistress?

If someone is knowingly persuing a married person for sex they share a portion of the blame. 5%, 10%, 20%??? I don't know what the answer is but they are not innocent.
Why do we have to split it like a pie?
If you are knowingly interjecting yourself into another’s marriage you are 100% culpable in your own shameful act just as the married person is 100% in their own
This “it’s only 42.567% my fault” is dumb
It’s mostly ok. The mission is there so you get a lot of homeless…. But it’s a very high traffic area so it’s not a war zone or anything.

Go watch the video of a recent officer involved shooting where a guy pulled a gun and the officers life was very obviously in danger. His reaction to killing someone was night and day different and he was effectively in a shoot out
It’s a weird thing but there’s not a single script for reacting to these incidents.
As it turns out when adrenaline floods your body like that you have varying emotional reactions

Unfortunately, this is the answer. He could have unloaded the magazine through the windshield on her. But unless that car can drive sideways or she is aiming a gun at him, the shots from the side are unlawful. Same reason why you can't shoot someone in the back if they failed to murder you and then start to run off.
LE get to shoot to finish the threat. It’s not like he waited and shot 10 seconds later through the rearview. Guys were still in contact with the car.
quote:
Seems cut-and-dried to me that the officer acted in self-defense, but I've noticed downvotes everytime someone has stated this. So, for those who think he acted incorrectly here's your chance. Don't just downvote and run off. Tell us what you think he should've done differently.
I mean, in a dream world I think he doesn’t meander randomly in front of the car in the first place. That was his real mistake.
From there I don’t celebrate but understand the shoot.
Ultimately he drastically changed his own decision tree and I don’t think he did it with particular intention- so it was all negative risk and very little reward in taking that route.
Was my personal opinion and ill share it’s been personally echoed to me from some folks that are highly trained in this that that’s the mistake they each circled as primary too.

I had just fired a fatal shot due to fearing for my life I would say something like “oh frick”, “oh my god”, “what the frick”, and not “fricking bitch”. If this goes to a court of law, and it will, the gun being drawn and those comments will help build a prosecution and paint a picture of a hot head. The cop is just as stupid as the deceased.
Yea no
I think plenty of people commonly react with some sentiment of “goddamit you arse why did you just put us both in this position” towards someone creating what will possibly be the worst day of his life for what amounts to almost no reason other than being mad at the world and unable to handle basic interactions.

Turns out she was on the board and the school still has minutes and such up. Clicked through one of the fall meetings with trainings/presentation…. Every motion was noted seconded by her.
Nothing wild included in the meeting I clicked but an odd glimpse into the her day to day

He was drawing the gun before she was moving forward too. He could have moved out the way. He wanted to shoot. Yeah she should have complied. But masked paramilitary run up on you and your scared. But everyone will want to go to their arms. You can pull off and deal with pd which many would do.
1) I think the officers real escalation was standing in front in the first place.it made the decision tree much more prominently have deadly use of force featured
2) you don’t get to go insert yourself in the middle of the federal agents, spend the day actively disrupting them and then frame it as they are so terrifying that when they give you an order you have to flee from the masked paramilitary. If you are that scared observe and report from a heathy distance…. Or stay home because you are going to add not subtract volatility

Which is a rational take. But I also feel like it’s rational take that she shouldn’t have to die for that. People dying over stuff like that is third world shite, not greatest country in the world shite.
I think the split is just a step to the side…
I think most believe she shouldn’t have to die for that. But I think a lot of folks think that it’s reasonably clear that she *could* die for that and should have avoided the situation

Let me ask you, Bard, and anyone else mindlessly defending murder: do you believe she was trying to leave? Or do you think she was trying to use her Honda Pilot as a deadly weapon to end that ICE agent’s life? That’s all I want answered. That’s it. Just answer that and I’ll leave the thread in peace.
I think she was trying to leave. I don’t think her and her wife planned to go out there and video her killing an agent
I also think that if I’m standing in front of that car and I hear the engine rev and I’m not aware the tires are going to spin on the ice, and I do t know the decision making of a woman hitting the gas while being told to exit her car….. that it may feel a little more stressful than you and I sitting watching 37 replays after the fact. And I suspect at least part of a jury will give him that benefit of the doubt.

While it may be true that she did not intend to run the officer over with her car (we don’t know that but let’s say she did not intend), that is immaterial. A car can be legally defined as a dangerous weapon per state law. Just as if I point a gun at you, it doesn’t matter if I really intend to shoot you or not. What matters is if you have a reasonable expectation of being seriously injured that justifies your use of deadly force in self defense. And in just about every legal jurisdiction, you would be justified in using deadly force in self defense if I point a gun at you. The same applies here.
I agree with essentially all of this.
Sitting with this one a few hours now I do struggle to believe her intent was going to be having her wife film her attempting to kill an agent in the street. I think it’s like 97% she was simply trying to dodge accountability and had been told you don’t have to listen to them - maybe even having no idea a guy was up there if she’s looking at the guy by her door.
That doesn’t excuse it but I think in dinner table chats there’s a difference between cold blooded terrorist planning to kill and simply a jittery poorly informed moron that put herself in a terrible spot trying to be a hero

From the 2nd of the 2 videos, it looks like she is legitimately pushing him for a bit while he was in front of her vehicle. It’s not the clearest video but it does look like she’s got him well within position to kill him if she guns it. He of course then shoots. And she increases speed either right before during or after that. The closer video kind of corroborates what I see there. The body of the officer near her window hides the view of what the other officer is doing exactly.
Yea- if he’s reacting to her punching it and the tire slip followed by his own slide is the savior in avoiding her jumping forward quickly and him falling…. I think he walks
I think the story at the average dinner table needs to be that we don’t love a masked federal government agent pulling guns but also that you can’t act so incredibly foolish so as to make that gun a relatively reasonable pull
Unfortunately I think too many houses will be calling one person or the other a terrorist.
She’s dumb and thought she was doing good and likely wasn’t intending to harm the guy but simply dodge accountability. I highly doubt he went to work trying to make a life changing split second decision to second guess to eternity.

Agreed.
Frankly, even as a backup you expect a guy to maybe go .500 for a couple games with a decent team and he hasn’t shown that.

Not trying to defend Latoya, but this doesn't make sense. The mayor-elect and new CAO were both on the council together for 8 years and approved multiple budgets, and they weren't aware of this upcoming payment??? Didn't they vote on this at one point? Cantrell couldn't screw up everything without lacking oversight by the council.
I will say that the “everything will be good after next week” sentiment around the city worries me.
I think we see steps forward, no doubt, but also feel like a lot of the folks we are trusting to get it right are at least a part of how it got so wrong.
