Serpas Signal

It's a busy day for the chief.  This morning at the Loyola crime symposium, he was momentarily confronted by hecklers.
The "armed gang" the hecklers were talking about there was NOPD because, you know, clever irony and such. Serpas went on to pile on his own gang members by threatening to take away their civil service protections and basically insult their overall existence as regular humans who own phones and talk to people they see during the day.

Serpas: If you do not recognize that serving the community is the first thing you do, you're going to get fired. Don't sit on your cellphone and talk to people through the window, or you will lose your job. #nola

Serpas: The new orleans civil service system stands apart from the 21st century. We suggest that it needs to be updated to the 21st century. Our civil service rules don't differentiate between police and other employees. Right now police officers enjoy job protection if "they breathe really good." The new system: How did you serve the neighborhood and the community, and how did you serve the department that you work for? We want to flip the relationship with the cops through the use of an evaluation system that's linked to quality of service to the people.
New Orleans is a violent city with many serious problems.  One of those problems is the chief of police is an evil evil man. 

Speaking of which, I hope you weren't looking forward to enjoying your pre-Halloween weekend unmolested by this evil man and his emotionally abused armed gang. 

Tonight October 26, 2012, the New Orleans Police Department’s Traffic Section will conduct a Sobriety Checkpoint beginning at approximately 9:00 P.M. and concluding at approximately 5:00 A.M. in Orleans Parish.    Motorists will experience minimal delays and should have proper documentation, i.e., proof of insurance, and a valid driver’s license if requested.

We noted yesterday that the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Department  will also be running a checkpoint tonight. So if Serpas doesn't get you, maybe Steven Segal's former teammates will.

(Note, if Steven Segal really does get you you may be in more trouble than just a trip to the drunk tank. On the other hand, maybe it's God's will.)
