2:22AM Sat, July 03 2010

@fragile9 Louisiana

it's something the police do for holidays and special events. You get used to it.

2:22AM Sat, July 03 2010

It's the premier of Real World: New Orleans, maybe? ;)

@Spalding7656 Mobile, Alabama

hooker and drug crackdown plus a plethora of African americans in one place is making them nervous about the public saftety

2:35AM Sat, July 03 2010

One man shot in Algiers, one fake cop arrested elsewhere.

2:35AM Sat, July 03 2010

@Spalding7656 Mobile, Alabama

3:57AM Sat, July 03 2010

@Radioguy379 Cedar Rapids, Iowa

It's possible they want to dissuade a civil disturbance. Having insufficient data, that's all I can think of.

4:35AM Sat, July 03 2010

@fredclark Houma, LA

There's a new police chief in town. Could be "new police chief syndrome".

7:57AM Sat, July 03 2010

@FanglessFables Earth

When you combine heat, over 100k people and open container laws you get a police presence. At least you get great food too!
