Black ppl and large communities don't mix. They kill each other with absolutely no thought or respect for humanity. Yet rally when cops kill a black when most of the time it's completely justified by the person's behavior. Crazy world.
Whoever did that to that poor elderly person absolutely deserves a capital punishment. I don't believe that people who are capable of committing such crimes are salvageable for society.
They did exactly what the colonists and US Govt did to the native/indigenous people in order to illegally found the United States of America. So what society are they unsalvageable for 😊 they fit in this one that was founded by the same savage, selfish disregard for human life.
Bone-chilling. Really scary story about the horrors of urban crime. This kind of thing just happens around people in the day. The horrific nature of urban crime in America - totally inescapable warfare just happening around you and you can do nothing about it.
Linda Frickey was my mother-in-law's insurance agent. She stayed on the job for years after she could have retired because she was the only agent who would drive to collect the payments of elderly people who could not leave their houses, or had difficulty making payments in other ways. This is how her personal commitment to help her customers was rewarded.
The police NEVER had control of New Orleans going back many decades now. You can't lose control of something you never had control of in the first place.
We should put our National Guard in high crime areas and confiscate guns and knives from violent offenders. Defund the police is insane. Politicians have no understanding of the situation. If they did there would be better gun control. Someone needs to use blind DNA samples to look at family history commonalities of violent city offenders. There have to be commonalities. It’s not all sociological. I ran crime programs for almost 40 years and there were markers for who would commit future acts. Vendettas and violent response to life problems often goes back hundreds of years. It could save thousands if lives a year if we had a better understanding of commonalities.
@@costrow3100 I don't know once you start allowing some agency to predict how violent an individual is going to be that can be a slippery slope into eugenics territory. I'm sure were not far from being chipped up and eventually putting the military in charge to make it a literal national security state utopia. I don't know I wish I had a simple solution, maybe earth needs a real pandemic or plague to take out around a third of the overall population to set things right.
That's horrifying. As a witness to horrible violence.... It never leaves you. It changes you forever. Especially seeing an innocent person get hurt so brutally.
So a conscientious employee decides to let them know that things are not right in their crime lab. The employee decides the stress and the drama is too much and they need UNPAID time off. They then proceed to bust into his home and treat him like a criminal!! This is DISGRACEFUL!! I hope he sued them!!!
So, with the C19 SHUTDOWN, the BRANDON ADMINISTRATION DESTROYING THE ECONOMY! GAS AND FOOD SHORTAGES! THIS WINTER THE DEMOCRAT RUN CITIES OF SEATTLE PORTLAND DETROIT CHICAGO PHILADELPHIA AND NEW YORK CITY WILL FREEZE UP AND COLLAPSE! THEN EVERYONE WILL MIGRATE SOUTH! AND THE VACCINATIONS AND BOOSTER SHOTS WILL BEGIN TO TAKE EFFECT! BOOM!!! Recipe for disaster!
*They* being deviant what is hostility. Their being deviant is how, why, what, when & where any amount of initiative will be present from you. To fitness & sobriety concerning it.
They enforce laws when prosecutors don’t prosecute criminals. That’s the failure, not with the police but with judges, prosecutors, and elected officials. PARENTS are the other solution to this problem. I’d like to say rest in peace to all the victims of this senseless violence this documentary covered, such as the first young lady who was murdered. I’m VERY sorry for their families loss, so sad and unnecessary.
When prosecutors don't prosecute criminals. There is a good chance the criminal just became an informant. Police have armies of criminal informants social engineering mass shooting and crime waves to keep the public afraid.
she was not murdered. The man who committed the homicide said the gun went off just at the moment it was pointed at her. As a firearms expert and instructor for 45 years, he is full of sh*t. I hear that excuse all of the time. Guns do not just go off, the trigger has to be pulled. An intentional act.
If they, the Prosecutor's Office, were to attempt to file charges against all of the violent crime (over fifty percent of which is statistically committed in the black communities - and most assuredly not committed by the Klu Klux Klan) the system would grind to a complete halt.
Look the solution in the black community is white people leave us be and we will work it out that means the properties in those communities be turned over to us those who can buy them and let us be! No trying to arrest us for spanking our kids no nothing just mind your business the way that they do with other communities Chinese Italians the Irish run the police departments so of course they are left alone but the j3wish etc…. Leave my community alone thise then need to be removed will be removed if we are left alone that means all other immigrants leave our communities leave the businesses everything just leave us be!
Typical "law enforcement" in Louisiana. Anyone that brings attention to the corruption will be denounced and have their personal and professional reputations destroyed. They will never be held accountable or suffer consequences for the crimes that are committed against Citizens.
Why should the city officials be ashamed of themselves for what 4 juveniles did? The parents of those juveniles should be ashamed that they raised those little evil monsters.
He should find that police officer that decided to walk in his house masked up and let him know my kid runs and hides under the table every time someone knocks my door. You done that. I’d embarrass him in front of all his colleagues. Id be so angry if that was me. No warrant my kids naked in the room and you’re all wearing masks trying to take me away with no authority to do so only a request. Disgusting.
To think I spent a few days in N.O. in 1981 after finishing working at summer camp and walked around without a care. How sad at what has happened. The big educator fella at the end is a pure diamond. .Good luck with his project and I hope he gets the funds to expand it.
That big man from the Treme who lost his sister and helps kids just seems like one of the all around best people. It’s a dark city; guys like him really stand out.
It has nothing to do with America. It has everything to do with demographics and polices... there are places and cities like this outside of America with the same demographics and policies that have large amounts of crime and homicide as well.
As a African watching this it’s so sad to see black people living this way and what’s worse is that it will never change ever ! There’s no end in site it will only get worse

The NOPD jurisdiction (Orleans Parish) is about 900,000 people but yes, truly horrific. Things are getting much better, though. Crime was cut in half in 2023 and is even lower now.
Tip: when you look up US city populations look at the "metropolitan area" population. There's a vast difference. Its not just the city limits or the city proper. Cities and neighboring towns/counties are one large area. Metro New Orleans has suffered a major loss of people leaving the area in the past few decades but still has over 1 Million people. Examples: The city of London has a population of 10,847 people. Metro London has about 9 Million. I live in Atlanta. I've seen Europeans comment about the population of Atlanta which is about 500K 😂. The metro area is 6.5 Million people! The 6th largest in the US.
There are 800 murders a year in the UK. London has around 150 per year (population 12 million for Greater London) so murder rate in NOLA is around 60x as high as London. It's hardly surprising though given everyone has a gun in Louisiana, the smallest issues escalate to murder.
Well done piece. I'm furious at what was done to the crime lab employee. Violation after violation of law and his rights. They're bullies. This is why I don't visit New Orleans anymore. Unbelievable.
Wow after watching this Doc and that’s what you are mad at??? I get it I know that white people do not see us as human and their whiteness doesn’t allow them To see the wrong that has been and is being done to native black Americans! It’s sad but I wish my people were just like you and your people! I believe that we are getting closer and closer and starting to focus on us and only us and not sympathizing with no other group because all other groups don’t sympathize with us! I often wonder where does the hate come from from All these groups Native Black Americans have done nothing to none of them white Chinese Arab history none of them we allow all groups to come I to our communities open their businesses but yet they all hate us but I finally figured it out in order for them to thrive they all try to stand as close to whiteness as possible so the hate that whites have for Native Black Americans they have to have too!
Love when they put blame on the pandemic for the higher crime and murder rates. Coronavirus has been the scapegoat in numerous cities across America. How about facing the truth and saying the obvious? The system is failing the youth of our streets.
The NOPD said the same thing about the double dipping situation with the police here. It existed before COVID. Pandemics don't create problems, they just make pre-existing problems worse.
Now it's Russia Ukraine war. Before that it was brexit. Basically just insert whatver mainstream media is trending so people can relate...government huh
@@bscottb8 they were never accounted for or even included in thr system. How could they possibly fail it. They are given the worst education and exteacurricular opportunities. The school systems in inner cities are garbage and on top of that they dont really have afterschool programs unless they themselves create opportunities for themselves i.e. an athlete coming back to their old hood to build community outreach programs.
@@bscottb8 youth are failing? Are you serious. The older people have failed the youth. I'll point fingers at everybody in the wrong across the board. Blaming children sounds like someone in denial.
Only some of us are willing to even suggest taking action that could reduce this. Why? Because that requires accountability and being honest about the problem. The culture itself condones, enables, and/or excuses behavior. And this is completely unacceptable, no healthy community can survive this behavior. The culture must improve. But to do that, we have to hold it to task.
Democrats and mainstream media plays only the blame game. It must be Trump, police, but never people who commit the crimes, they aren't responsible. Decline of the West is here to stay, crime is the way of the future. Believe me. Even if there would come politician who wanted to change things, msm and elite would shut him off as populist or racist
Wow, police action. That’s such a good idea and I’m sure it’s never been tried before. It’s not the stark inequities that define New Orleans nor the failing schools nor the lack of employment, nothing like that. Louisiana is as close to heaven as god can give us.
Every comment I read is either a condolence or a vendetta and those two emotions are inconsolable….. every person in this world has one thing they actually control and that’s there reaction, and the most powerful reaction is compassion!! Love continues to grow even after it is lost, cause wherever you go there it is..
The pandemic did not create this rise in violence. The pandemic was a global pandemic but homicides did not increase in places like Canada and Mexico for example. The rise in homicides is uniquely American. All this was post George Floyd. But guys like Dr. Edward Shahadi go out of their way to not acknowledge the role of policing and prosecution as one significant tool in violence reduction.
Security companies being used as police officers is a very dangerous idea. Who is regulating them? And who are you gonna sue when a security guard kills you?
What hell are you talking about? They're are no different than any other residential security guards. If they kill someone unjustifiable, you can sue the security company. But if they're smart, they can hide their money through LLC and overseas accounts. Also they will probably close the company and start a new one lol. Oversight comes from their client the police department or the city.
Yup. Security companies are usually LLCs, and don't adhere to the same policies and standards. It's a good way for the city to save money from lawsuits. Who would you sue? Security guards generally don't make alot of money. The company (if held accountable) could simply file for bankruptcy, and open back up under a different name.
@@letsdothis9063 Yeah the armed guards won't make more 25/hr. But the owners of small companies make six figures. I seen owners shut down companies after lawsuits and pop up again. I did armed security after the army.
Sadly it's a ghetto life. So now thy'r not fixing it but trying to pull that one over everybody everywhere, to equalize, to make it draw. That's the logic. When one suffer, others must suffer too, it's more easy than to help the one in the first place. That's their m.o.
We need to solve the cause of this problem which is lack of fathers in the black community. Until that is addressed, this will only continue to get worse.
This has been said longer than I have been alive. The black community will never take accountability and won’t change. There are documentaries on UA-cam with the same crap in the black communities in Newark, Chicago, New York, Detroit and so on from the 70’s. It is what it is.
i will share this with you i grew up in South Louisiana all my life i have been to mexico and many other states & cities from los Angeles to Chicago to atlanta etc...... no matter where i have been i have never felt so uncomfortable like in new Orleans. its a very very disturbing feeling because you never know where the evil will come from it may be a 9 year old or a grown man or woman. i have worked with and lived with new Orleans citizens they mean everything they say whatever you do dont play with them in any shape or form trust me
This civilian employer should have gotten a lawyer as soon as he saw violations in the workplace. Any organized fraud or civil rights violation should have been dealt with by a lawyer. As for the lack of officers, putting more offenders in long term rehab or mental health programs instead of jail would keep them off the street longer. A three strikes law for felonies could keep the worst offenders off the street permanently. The main thing is to stop the repeat offenders that take up so much police time. Some chronic offenders need to live in a halfway house with curfews, room inspections and drug testing permanently. A 6 strike law for repeat lesser crimes in a 3 year period could put these people in supervised living for years until they have a steady employment record and clean drug tests.
6 strikes for lesser crimes may be the most evil idea that I've read in a long time. It's so easy to judge when life has been kind to you. If YOUR world turned upside down, you'd soon see your moral superiority & perspective change
@@josephsalmonte4995 we need some way to deal with chronic offenders. Our parole system provides inadequate supervision. Maybe supervised housing especially for this population would help. However, if they are loose in society, they hurt the poor the most by making running businesses unprofitable, intimidating locals and bilking public programs. Leniency with criminals makes life in poor communities unbearable. I realize life hasn't been kind to these people. They need a kinder, more humane sort of detention than prison, and certainly probation or parole are completely inadequate.
The 3 strikes law has caused many people of color to be locked up for LIFE for NON VIOLENT crimes at a extremely exasperated rate compared to whites who actually ARE REPEAT VIOLENT offenders!!! So until the POLICE AND COURTS are overhauled and become FAIR regardless of COLOR the ANGER AND DISTRUST will get worse as well as the crime rate!!
@@nlytndatruthable Auto theft, burglary, forgery, repeat shoplifting are not victimless crimes. If the offender refuses rehab and job training and continues in crime, they should be held in a secure village with employment, education and conjugal visits for good behavior. I agree that locking them up in prison permanently is cruel and unusual punishment. However, they need civil detention as they have demonstrated the inability to avoid criminal activity. Thus, they must be supervised and work to support their families in a secure place free of substance abuse, with mental health services and drug testing. People of color should not have to suffer with their neighborhoods ruined by criminals and addicts. If these offenders will not change, get them away from the public in the most humane secure facility possible, depending on the seriousness of the offense and if repeat offenders.
Yup, since slavery. Who has looked out for the black community. No one. Nobody is coming 2 save u. It's up 2 us. To start taking care of each other especially the youth. 2 stop the bad circle.
The city is filled with ANIMALS. Just ANIMALS. regular people need to stick together and take our cities back from the scum that does things like this.
I've been to N.O. I will never forget how nice the people were to me, an outsider, they welcomed me as if I were family..ro learn about this poor woman who was being dragged to her death just breaks my heart. What an awful event. I am so sorry.
If you don't live here, then you don't know. I live here. This documentary is well done and illustrates a systemic issue. We don't want to get rid of all police, we want a police force that works, along with a city that functions for everyone.
That means working alongside police. As in not committing crime and not adhering to the no snitch policy and staying away from gang culture. It's not that hard. No one is forcing anyone to commit crime.
@@whodafukarweetribe Go look at other metropolitan areas and you could say the same thing. The city has its issues and they need to be addressed, but the city is more than what you are attempting to portray. This video is highlighting an area that needs the attention of all its leaders, no doubt. There are more things that need their attention as well, no lies.
New Orleans has been the most corrupt city in the country for a long time, and Katrina only made it worse when all the fed money was rolling in. I worked down there for about two years starting the day after the levees burst for various contractors. For a while there the city averaged a homicide a day, that they knew about. You could hear gunfire all night long. And when I say gunfire, I mean semi and automatic weapons fire. Most of the police split and ever came back when the storm hit. In all my time there I can count on one hand how often I saw a NOLA PD car. Most of the time it was national guard troops in HUMMVs. That place, IMO has an evil infestation. It's palpable.
@@_Meng_Lan I know that. And I would never “glory” in Satan. Perhaps if you read the Bible you would understand why the devil is running amok right now.
That culture needs to start taking accountability. That’s the only way it will change. If this offends you, take a second and ask yourself… why does this offend me?
What came first the culture or the conditions that bred the culture? Addressing the culture wont do anything if the conditions that bred the culture stay around. Just remember this culture has been a relatively new thing. These communities were NOT like this in the 40s, 50s, 60s. It started with smack epidemic and then the CIA flooding rock coke into impoverished communities really sent it into full blast. These were tools used to disrupt a community that was coming together at a time of big change. Stop trying to deflect blame all into 1 place. The government needs to be held accountable, the communities need to be held accountable, those that hold this idiotic mentality that things like this happen in a vaccuum must be held accountable. Your mentality is part of the problem. Sorry that you dont agree with facts and choose to hold a emotional gut feeling based mentality on the whole issue instead. Do some research and be more proactive in solving these problems anyone can point blame without doing any research. This is our country let's address thede things. I hate how people pretend like they are proud of be american and pretend to love this country, but say goofy stuff like you just did.
Exactly. This is their culture. And blaming other races, socioeconomic reasons, and the pandemic is wrong. So sick of the excuses and blaming, there are milions of poor people of every race/ethnicity and they don't go around shooting each other on an hourly basis, committing smash and grab thefts, carjackings etc, on and on and on in EVERY major city in the US.
what a wonderful and encouraging note to end it on cause gosh this was sad...73 yr old grandmother arm severed and dragged to death....lose of words to describe an horrific unjustified brutal death to a harmless member of society, just so so sad. lastly, if im not wrong theres a police officer whos documented stealing from the department why isnt he in jail?? 73 thousand dollars to 200 a year???
38:50 They voted to defund the police (which reduces the number of officers on the streets and increases response time) and got their wish. Now you're saddened for calling 911 and not having an officer at your door in a timely manner? That's incredibly insane!!
They don't identify as a gang though, or have an official name really. It is more like a group of associated friends who live near each other. It is pretty much neighborhood warfare.
I think better indicators are the quality of services. Like if bushes are not cut that means city services don't exist. Which speaks to budget problems. Which leads to so many breaks of the city's ability to attract people which is a continuing problem that allows for criminals to find an opportunity zone.
I don't know how I stumbled onto this video but I am so grateful that I did I have much respect to that man and the program that he is doing that is what's needed back into these communities that used to be there and it got taken away for more police.. Thank you for all that you doing.. Much Respect ❤ Love and Light to you and everyone ❤
Bravo, Times and Sunday Times. That was some fine investigative journalism that covered many aspects of post-Katrina New Orleans I did not know about. A lot of good questions and answers in a lot of good interviews! It makes one wonder about those who once held those 'Defund the Police' signs, not only in NOLA, but elsewhere. Do they want to see police services privatized?
if it's a southern sub culture ..... then how do you explain Chicago or New York? There is a sub culture in America but to label it southern is to ignore a nation wide gang culture.
I live in chicago the crime rate here is greatly overstated …it’s very much situated on the south side and some of the west side ..chicago overall is very very safe
New Orleans and Baton Rouge I’m from Louisiana these two cities are very dangerous tourist beware people down here think it’s a in thing to go to jail for murder…life don’t mean a thing to murders down here. It’s a crying shame theses cities where once beautiful not no more.
Well, first you start with the most corrupt state in the Union. THEN you go to the most corrupt city in the most corrupt state. THEN you deal with the most corrupt police department in the country [which is saying something considering the Philadelphia and Boston PDs]... After all that, what could **possibly** go wrong?
This is a great documentary. Every segment is insightful and powerful. N.O. has problems at all levels of government, the police, schools, families, and individual responsibility. But as the last segment demonstrates there are good folks out there trying to improve their communities. I wish them the best.
Are they? Do you have any idea how many trillions have been thrown at you all to at least not destroy everything in sight and you all still destroy everything in sight?
This documentary highlights the problem. How can you wonder why ppl are picking up a gun instead of a book. With low funding schools, bad food and low job opportunities. POVERTY can drive ppl 2 desperation. Which is why there are more prisons than schools. Black ppl working in slave labor in them prisons
Democrat run cities all throughout America are all like this. That's why it's infuriating that these idiotic liberals voted these Democrats in Senate, House, and even governors. Liberals don't care about crime and they try to blame it on Republican states and that "it's not as high as the 90s." How stupid can these liberals be?
Just like who would have thought that a white male PH D candidate would MURK for other white kids .And then drive across country without a CARE in the 🌎.
"you need to talk to me" that violates his constitutional rights, the 5th. This is why people are blasting these officers on sight, if you're supposed to enforce the law and you choose to break it the folks you're oppressing will have to do the same.
This starts at home, continues into schools and the community. There needs to be MUCH stiffer penalties early on and FORCED education to the incarcerated. If you don't want to attend classes and act like a civilized person, then you don't deserve to be released into a society with honest working, productive citizens. ACCOUNTABILITY! Act like a monster, get treated like one. The world owes you nothing, neither do tax payers.
While education for inmates *does* in general improve things, "stiffer penalties" never have, and the "society doesn't owe perpetrators anything" mindset is, in fact, counterproductive. That's part of the reason the US has the highest incarceration and recidivism rates in the developed world. Other rich countries try to rehabilitate offenders, and most of the time it works. The US has made revenge and racism the pillars of its judicial system, and you can see the results all over the place. Inequity and a generalised feeling that the police are an occupying force are the most important factors in producing the kind of anomie that leads to widespread violent crime. *Those* are the areas that need work. And, of course, inside the penal system, finally implementing structures that correspond to the 21st rather than the 19th century, including abolition of the prison industry itself. Correctional facilities *must* be public, led by an intention to "cure" crime rather than turning a profit.
America has had this hard line approach for 40 years and this off the scale murder rate is what you get. Civilised countries don't treat people this way, and they don't have this dystopia.
@@joschafinger126 i mean kinda true. i think its also true that crime rates arent going to go down until loads more ppl get incarcerated especially arms dealers and gangbangers.

'Assume you are criminal, assume you are murderous, assume you can't be repaired " . The cop is talking about how people now view cops, but doesn't he realise that is how cops, politicians, courts and prison system have depicted low income citizens. That is how citizens feel when cops approach them.

Geez..I hope that Crime Lab guy sues their asses off. Sounds like that whole city is corrupt. More so than the rest of America and their police forces who are also corrupt.
It has nothing to do with America. It has everything to do with demographics and polices... there are places and cities like this outside of America with the same demographics and policies that have large amounts of crime and homicide as well.
I live in a city in the UK, Leeds, that has a similar population as New Orleans and had 15 homicides last year. And that is a high murder rate for a British city.

If the politicians and police would stop stealing money they could use that money to start programs for the youth, youth employment could be paid etc. And the people gotta feel like they are safe if they tell on the criminals
That’s why I moved my kids away from there, want them to experience everything I’ve experienced differently being from New Orleans “being numb to violence is not normal”
New Orleans is a city that I have spent so much time in and even filmed an episode there. Things were okay during my time there, I can't believe how worse things have gotten.
That lady at 39:52's comment was rough to hear. You can hear the pain and fear in her voice. I remember a few years ago when beat cops used to walk down my block doing just what that security guy was doing.
The evidence room and crime lab did not look organized at all. Looked like vital information can easily be mixed up with another case or lost. 73,000 DNA test not processed that’s very concerning.

Does Dave Chappelle have something funny to say? Tired of saying poverty and lack of education causes violence - only in certain subcultures with dysfunctional households. In other words, its the lack of a strong family unit that allows an uncivilized culture to foment.
Well, there is a port here which is a pretty quick jaunt from Mexico and South American cartels. It's difficult to police New Orleans simply due to how it's shaped and how it's pretty much surrounded by water. I went down to work relief for the hurricanes Katrina and Rita. That place is pretty wild at night, even post the hurricanes it was insane. It's safer to walk the streets of the Middle East than it is to be in New Orleans.
They really didn't speak to enough people from the poorest parts of town. Like the families of offenders...it shouldn't be taboo to try to directly understand why people are commiting these crimes, and what in their lives led them here. The academic they interviewed studies this, but it seems like a weird oversight not to speak to offenders or their loved ones directly.
Hats off to the people who are doing their best to help their communities.

Bone-chilling. Really scary story about the horrors of urban crime. This kind of thing just happens around people in the day. The horrific nature of urban crime in America - totally inescapable warfare just happening around you and you can do nothing about it.

Linda Frickey was my mother-in-law's insurance agent. She stayed on the job for years after she could have retired because she was the only agent who would drive to collect the payments of elderly people who could not leave their houses, or had difficulty making payments in other ways. This is how her personal commitment to help her customers was rewarded.
Lie.
The police NEVER had control of New Orleans going back many decades now. You can't lose control of something you never had control of in the first place.
True, 20-30 years ago crime along with police corruption was way worse.
We should put our National Guard in high crime areas and confiscate guns and knives from violent offenders. Defund the police is insane. Politicians have no understanding of the situation. If they did there would be better gun control. Someone needs to use blind DNA samples to look at family history commonalities of violent city offenders. There have to be commonalities. It’s not all sociological. I ran crime programs for almost 40 years and there were markers for who would commit future acts. Vendettas and violent response to life problems often goes back hundreds of years. It could save thousands if lives a year if we had a better understanding of commonalities.
@@costrow3100 I don't know once you start allowing some agency to predict how violent an individual is going to be that can be a slippery slope into eugenics territory.

They enforce laws when prosecutors don’t prosecute criminals. That’s the failure, not with the police but with judges, prosecutors, and elected officials. PARENTS are the other solution to this problem. I’d like to say rest in peace to all the victims of this senseless violence this documentary covered, such as the first young lady who was murdered. I’m VERY sorry for their families loss, so sad and unnecessary.
When prosecutors don't prosecute criminals. There is a good chance the criminal just became an informant. Police have armies of criminal informants social engineering mass shooting and crime waves to keep the public afraid.
she was not murdered. The man who committed the homicide said the gun went off just at the moment it was pointed at her. As a firearms expert and instructor for 45 years, he is full of sh*t. I hear that excuse all of the time. Guns do not just go off, the trigger has to be pulled. An intentional act.
If they, the Prosecutor's Office, were to attempt to file charges against all of the violent crime (over fifty percent of which is statistically committed in the black communities - and most assuredly not committed by the Klu Klux Klan) the system would grind to a complete halt.
Look the solution in the black community is white people leave us be and we will work it out that means the properties in those communities be turned over to us those who can buy them and let us be! No trying to arrest us for spanking our kids no nothing just mind your business the way that they do with other communities Chinese Italians the Irish run the police departments so of course they are left alone but the j3wish etc….

150 murders in 6 months in a city of 222,000! That's insane. Here in the UK with a population of 70 million and have just over 100 murders a year!
BLM!
The UK has about 800 murders a year, not 100.
The NOPD jurisdiction (Orleans Parish) is about 900,000 people but yes, truly horrific. Things are getting much better, though. Crime was cut in half in 2023 and is even lower now.
Tip: when you look up US city populations look at the "metropolitan area" population. There's a vast difference. Its not just the city limits or the city proper. Cities and neighboring towns/counties are one large area. Metro New Orleans has suffered a major loss of people leaving the area in the past few decades but still has over 1 Million people.
Examples:
The city of London has a population of 10,847 people. Metro London has about 9 Million.
I live in Atlanta. I've seen Europeans comment about the population of Atlanta which is about 500K 😂. The metro area is 6.5 Million people! The 6th largest in the US.
There are 800 murders a year in the UK. London has around 150 per year (population 12 million for Greater London) so murder rate in NOLA is around 60x as high as London. It's hardly surprising though given everyone has a gun in Louisiana, the smallest issues escalate to murder.
Well done piece. I'm furious at what was done to the crime lab employee. Violation after violation of law and his rights. They're bullies. This is why I don't visit New Orleans anymore. Unbelievable.

Love when they put blame on the pandemic for the higher crime and murder rates. Coronavirus has been the scapegoat in numerous cities across America. How about facing the truth and saying the obvious? The system is failing the youth of our streets.
The youth of our streets are failing the system.
The NOPD said the same thing about the double dipping situation with the police here. It existed before COVID. Pandemics don't create problems, they just make pre-existing problems worse.

@@bscottb8 youth are failing? Are you serious. The older people have failed the youth. I'll point fingers at everybody in the wrong across the board. Blaming children sounds like someone in denial.
Only some of us are willing to even suggest taking action that could reduce this. Why? Because that requires accountability and being honest about the problem. The culture itself condones, enables, and/or excuses behavior. And this is completely unacceptable, no healthy
community can survive this behavior.
The culture must improve.
But to do that, we have to hold it to task.

The pandemic did not create this rise in violence. The pandemic was a global pandemic but homicides did not increase in places like Canada and Mexico for example. The rise in homicides is uniquely American. All this was post George Floyd. But guys like Dr. Edward Shahadi go out of their way to not acknowledge the role of policing and prosecution as one significant tool in violence reduction.
Security companies being used as police officers is a very dangerous idea. Who is regulating them? And who are you gonna sue when a security guard kills you?
What hell are you talking about? They're are no different than any other residential security guards. If they kill someone unjustifiable, you can sue the security company. But if they're smart, they can hide their money through LLC and overseas accounts. Also they will probably close the company and start a new one lol. Oversight comes from their client the police department or the city.
Yup. Security companies are usually LLCs, and don't adhere to the same policies and standards.
It's a good way for the city to save money from lawsuits. Who would you sue? Security guards generally don't make alot of money. The company (if held accountable) could simply file for bankruptcy, and open back up under a different name.
@@letsdothis9063 Yeah the armed guards won't make more 25/hr. But the owners of small companies make six figures. I seen owners shut down companies after lawsuits and pop up again. I did armed security after the army.

Chicago is also an evil place. So much deep rooted corruption and violence
This civilian employer should have gotten a lawyer as soon as he saw violations in the workplace. Any organized fraud or civil rights violation should have been dealt with by a lawyer. As for the lack of officers, putting more offenders in long term rehab or mental health programs instead of jail would keep them off the street longer. A three strikes law for felonies could keep the worst offenders off the street permanently. The main thing is to stop the repeat offenders that take up so much police time. Some chronic offenders need to live in a halfway house with curfews, room inspections and drug testing permanently. A 6 strike law for repeat lesser crimes in a 3 year period could put these people in supervised living for years until they have a steady employment record and clean drug tests.
6 strikes for lesser crimes may be the most evil idea that I've read in a long time. It's so easy to judge when life has been kind to you. If YOUR world turned upside down, you'd soon see your moral superiority & perspective change
@@josephsalmonte4995 we need some way to deal with chronic offenders. Our parole system provides inadequate supervision. Maybe supervised housing especially for this population would help. However, if they are loose in society, they hurt the poor the most by making running businesses unprofitable, intimidating locals and bilking public programs. Leniency with criminals makes life in poor communities unbearable. I realize life hasn't been kind to these people. They need a kinder, more humane sort of detention than prison, and certainly probation or parole are completely inadequate.
The 3 strikes law has caused many people of color to be locked up for LIFE for NON VIOLENT crimes at a extremely exasperated rate compared to whites who actually ARE REPEAT VIOLENT offenders!!! So until the POLICE AND COURTS are overhauled and become FAIR regardless of COLOR the ANGER AND DISTRUST will get worse as well as the crime rate!!
@@nlytndatruthable Auto theft, burglary, forgery, repeat shoplifting are not victimless crimes. If the offender refuses rehab and job training and continues in crime, they should be held in a secure village with employment, education and conjugal visits for good behavior. I agree that locking them up in prison permanently is cruel and unusual punishment. However, they need civil detention as they have demonstrated the inability to avoid criminal activity. Thus, they must be supervised and work to support their families in a secure place free of substance abuse, with mental health services and drug testing. People of color should not have to suffer with their neighborhoods ruined by criminals and addicts. If these offenders will not change, get them away from the public in the most humane secure facility possible, depending on the seriousness of the offense and if repeat offenders.
they'd killed him before it went to court

New Orleans has been the most corrupt city in the country for a long time, and Katrina only
made it worse when all the fed money was rolling in. I worked down there for about two years
starting the day after the levees burst for various contractors. For a while there the city averaged
a homicide a day, that they knew about. You could hear gunfire all night long. And when I say
gunfire, I mean semi and automatic weapons fire.
Most of the police split and ever came back when the storm hit. In all my time there I can
count on one hand how often I saw a NOLA PD car. Most of the time it was national guard
troops in HUMMVs. That place, IMO has an evil infestation. It's palpable.

These were tools used to disrupt a community that was coming together at a time of big change. Stop trying to deflect blame all into 1 place. The government needs to be held accountable, the communities need to be held accountable, those that hold this idiotic mentality that things like this happen in a vaccuum must be held accountable.

This is a very informative, literate, well-produced documentary. I'm impressed by the intelligent analysis of the commentators.
"you need to talk to me" that violates his constitutional rights, the 5th. This is why people are blasting these officers on sight, if you're supposed to enforce the law and you choose to break it the folks you're oppressing will have to do the same.
The guy who worked for the lab hopefully sued the pants off of those people, just wow
This starts at home, continues into schools and the community. There needs to be MUCH stiffer penalties early on and FORCED education to the incarcerated. If you don't want to attend classes and act like a civilized person, then you don't deserve to be released into a society with honest working, productive citizens. ACCOUNTABILITY! Act like a monster, get treated like one. The world owes you nothing, neither do tax payers.
While education for inmates *does* in general improve things, "stiffer penalties" never have, and the "society doesn't owe perpetrators anything" mindset is, in fact, counterproductive. That's part of the reason the US has the highest incarceration and recidivism rates in the developed world. Other rich countries try to rehabilitate offenders, and most of the time it works. The US has made revenge and racism the pillars of its judicial system, and you can see the results all over the place.
Inequity and a generalised feeling that the police are an occupying force are the most important factors in producing the kind of anomie that leads to widespread violent crime. *Those* are the areas that need work. And, of course, inside the penal system, finally implementing structures that correspond to the 21st rather than the 19th century, including abolition of the prison industry itself. Correctional facilities *must* be public, led by an intention to "cure" crime rather than turning a profit.
@@joschafinger126 💯
America has had this hard line approach for 40 years and this off the scale murder rate is what you get. Civilised countries don't treat people this way, and they don't have this dystopia.
@@joschafinger126 i mean kinda true. i think its also true that crime rates arent going to go down until loads more ppl get incarcerated especially arms dealers and gangbangers.
That poor lady , They severed her arms that's just insane..
Animals.
Humans are animals.
Humans are animals with a sense of conscious empathy. Which is why they are normally disgusted at behavior like this.
hey... they needed her ride!! They had drugs to sell and whores to go visit!!
@@roseno1500 Animals are innocent natured. The human mofos are demonic savages. Eugenics, free vasectomies, hysterectomues, and free Abortion on demand, regardless of length of pregnancy.
If we want this to stop .It first has to said that the vast majority of these criminals all have one thing in common. Solve that you solve a good bit of the problem
R.I.P TIDY 💔🕊WE MISS U I LOVE THIS DOCUMENTARY MY COUSIN STORY WAS THE FIRST STORY JUSTICE FOR TY’SHAUNDA 😢 THIS GOES ON IN THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS EVERY HOUR ON THE HOUR WHEN WILL IT STOP 🙏🏽 PRAYING FOR MY CITY ‼️
I did not know she lost my baby girl I did not that breaks my heart
This video exemplifies how and why police corruption flourishes. And why the public doesn't support American Police. 36:32
May God bless that man and his work that he is doing at Anna's place !
I enjoyed this video but you barely covered the corruption in PIB. What about PIB fabricating evidence, committing perjury and falsifying reports or certain rank committing crimes and never being held accountable? The double standard is why officers are quitting and the crime is skyrocketing
Legalizing weed would help a lot.
gosh....always the cops fault hmmm??? never talk about the evil people...but akways about corruption
what's PIB?
Pathetic, answer
So it's the police that force these scummy ignorant monsters to butcher each other and innocent ppl every week ?
Man I feel for the parents especially the lady at the start that lost her daughter. Wishing them strength to keep going.
Black people some else smh
Yeah that was sorta tough to watch like I could FEEL what she was saying & the look on her face 😞I really hope these young cats put the fuckin guns down I really do
That aside, but what kind of accent is that?
Where was the parents when their daughter was alive? I don't have kids, but I bet you anything, they would not be involved with anyone who carries illegal guns, drug dealer, gang member, etc! Meaning if I had a daughter! Son too!! If so, they would not be living in my home!
@@nova.105
Probably busy having another baby they can’t afford and won’t remember the father of.
Lot's of armed illiterates
Subbed. Very pleasant voice to hear while dosing off to sleep. Great work.
P. S. I went to sleep AFTER this episode 😉
'Assume you are criminal, assume you are murderous, assume you can't be repaired " . The cop is talking about how people now view cops, but doesn't he realise that is how cops, politicians, courts and prison system have depicted low income citizens. That is how citizens feel when cops approach them.
that PIB story is insane some parts of america are absolute nightmares - the police and the gangs are so garbage
For every Human being killed before thier time, there are mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers that feel pain that never ever goes away.. humanity is not getting better in any way... it's declining rapidly and all the progress is being erased. Wtf people this is not what we were created to do. It's beyond sad it's completely despicable and no words left to describe how far we have fallen and how far the powers that be have taken us down the hole !!
Man I’m glad your eyes open cause most ain’t. I been saying for a long time these folks created these conditions point blank period. Self accountability is real but these folks playing a hell ova mental game out here!!
This is exactly what the elite want. They want us to fight each other kill each other off it’s all done by design they use division and hatred as a tactic.
Kyrie Irving has recently been calling out these "powers that be", yet everybody got their panties in a bunch! Europeans ruined amerikkka and the world. They created guns drugs and the world of capitalism based violence...
Humanity is in it's best period in all history 😂
@@topdog8678 we live in the killing fields right here in America... they paint a reality of this Amazing place where your "free " and can work hard and have the American dream... only it ain't no dream... it's a NIGHTMARE! They killing, poisoning, assassinating, experimenting, and polluting the air, water, and land literally day in and day out. They spray Aluminum and heavy metals from planes every day.. push fake agendas and torture and discredit their own people while locking away bout 7 million people in the process... to set that all up and create the cells to fill up they took ALL THE MANUFACTURING AND MOVED IT OUT OF OUR CITIES AND SAID f u people now we will crush your families!!! And literally they did look at us ?? Ain't no fathers home and the dream has been replaced gradually with the nightmare we in TODAY MY BROTHER... little real talk
wow they straight broke all kinds of law going into that man house and they recorded it all smh
Like 70% of intercity black kids never pass a 5th grade reading and writing level. Sucks to be a kid if your parents also suck. Its a hopeless cycle if most parents dont give a sht.
Got a bad vibe there 20 years ago. Something about that place seemed demoic. Never had any desire to go back
I'm thankful that I don't live in this type of war zone.
38:30 the interview with the sirens in the back ground is surreal
Geez..I hope that Crime Lab guy sues their asses off. Sounds like that whole city is corrupt. More so than the rest of America and their police forces who are also corrupt.
It has nothing to do with America. It has everything to do with demographics and polices... there are places and cities like this outside of America with the same demographics and policies that have large amounts of crime and homicide as well.
I live in a city in the UK, Leeds, that has a similar population as New Orleans and had 15 homicides last year. And that is a high murder rate for a British city.
Leeds is 80% African American?
@@BobbyBobby-wi7kv ha ha don’t think so
@@BobbyBobby-wi7kv Leeds black population makes up about 4% of its population.
And most of those Murders were probably done by the SAME Population? meaning AFRICANS? do tell us...
How easy is it to purchase a firearm on the street in leeds? In new orleans it's unfortunately very easy.
The wonderful thing about America is that in just looking at the title, there are literally two dozen cities that this video might be about.

@@juliaj7939 yes, except those cities aren't in developed nations. 🤣 (though I don't know that the US actually qualifies as one of those anymore...)
I get poverty & low education but harming innocent ppl is a CHOICE
Maybe the community needs to sort itself out
Criminality has nothing to do with the punishments nor the police. But the society.
NO also has a notoriously corrupt PD
1:42 me and my family are sending love and prayers of strength from the UK 🇬🇧❤️🙏
Must be devastating to go through the pain of loosing a child…. I hope you get through this ❤
In the UK can you go buy a gun if you wanted? Like I have no criminal record, I could go to Walmart or a gun store and purchase a hand gun or shot gun. How does the UK deal with guns
@@roxannespahr2804Most ppl don't have guns here in UK
@roxannespahr2804 Gangsters who are alot higher up would carry. The police carry only for specific situations. Uk is very safe inmu
If the community cared … it would not be like this… so much more to it than the law enforcement aspect …
If the politicians and police would stop stealing money they could use that money to start programs for the youth, youth employment could be paid etc. And the people gotta feel like they are safe if they tell on the criminals
That’s why I moved my kids away from there, want them to experience everything I’ve experienced differently being from New Orleans “being numb to violence is not normal”
New Orleans is a city that I have spent so much time in and even filmed an episode there. Things were okay during my time there, I can't believe how worse things have gotten.
Leadership matters and we have none
That must've been 40 years ago
@@kinte1870 give me credit, I'm not THAT old
That lady at 39:52's comment was rough to hear. You can hear the pain and fear in her voice. I remember a few years ago when beat cops used to walk down my block doing just what that security guy was doing.
The evidence room and crime lab did not look organized at all. Looked like vital information can easily be mixed up with another case or lost. 73,000 DNA test not processed that’s very concerning.
It looks EXTREMLY disorganized and unprofessional. Even basic straightening up would help. Very sad.
God Bless that old lady.
You know what other list New Orleans is on? Being one of the blackest city's in America. It's also the only democratic city in Louisiana.
YEP !...Isnt New Orleans some 60% BLACK?....is there a PATTERN in all of this EVERYWHERE? maybe the PATTERN is when you have a Large Black Population it ALWAYS comes to this? just asking the RIGHT questions?
@@pedrogama4585 yes it is 60% was 70% before katrina. 🤷🏽♂️
@@patadams2909 ....its about to take the BLINDERS off;....SEPARATION is the way to go....SEPARATION ! give the "opressed" some 10% of the South and let the Chips fall where they must...
Does Dave Chappelle have something funny to say? Tired of saying poverty and lack of education causes violence - only in certain subcultures with dysfunctional households. In other words, its the lack of a strong family unit that allows an uncivilized culture to foment.
A collapse in morality and a growth in the spirit of evil and greed
Blaming the pandemic is a cop out. Crime existed here for decades. Poverty = more crime
The pandemic just made it all more obvious.
There are plenty of poor countries with low crime.
@@QEsposito510 name 3 since there's plenty!
poverty brought up by irresponsible young black people who pop out 3 and 4 kids at a young age, and can't support them.
It's culture
Well, there is a port here which is a pretty quick jaunt from Mexico and South American cartels. It's difficult to police New Orleans simply due to how it's shaped and how it's pretty much surrounded by water. I went down to work relief for the hurricanes Katrina and Rita. That place is pretty wild at night, even post the hurricanes it was insane. It's safer to walk the streets of the Middle East than it is to be in New Orleans.
If the police feel like that imagine how the citizens of these poor communities feel!
They really didn't speak to enough people from the poorest parts of town. Like the families of offenders...it shouldn't be taboo to try to directly understand why people are commiting these crimes, and what in their lives led them here. The academic they interviewed studies this, but it seems like a weird oversight not to speak to offenders or their loved ones directly.
@@peakdelvalle197 I agree that would help a lot.
The citizens of these communities are who make it what you see.
