| When things are going well, the New Orleans Police Department is a horror show - underpaid, corrupt, brutal. There was a major effort to fix things in the late 90s and early years of this century but Katrina and the events which followed seem to have undone all that was accomplished.
I am not overly surprised by Nagin's call for help and doubt there is a nefarious subtext involved.
