More followup on the New Orleans firearms thefts

And I deliberately use the word 'thefts'. A thief takes something that doesn't belong to him. Not only did various 'law enforcement officers' take people's firearms, those people are now not being allowed to have them back, or being told to jump through hoops. Or the agents are not answering their phones. As the one victim says, "I won't ever see that gun again believe me," Taplet said. "It's gone like everything else in that storm."

Except this property was not destroyed by nature; it was stolen by the minions of the state. Who, it seems, have decided to keep it for themselves.

I've got a question. What happens if, as in the case of Mr. Taplet, he goes to his local agency and files a theft report on his missing shotgun? If the people who took it say they don't have it, then they either lost it or it was stolen. Will his local agency take a theft report?

The chief of police of NO is a damned disgrace to the very concept of law enforcement. He's lied, he's broken the law, he's tried to cover up his actions. The mayor who was involved in this is equally vile and criminal for this and other actions. And every 'law enforcement' officer involved in this should have the badge ripped off their chest. Just before they're thrown in jail. This, of course, after their victims sue them for everything they've got.
