Last week, Gov. Jeff Landry formally requested that the president send 1,000 troops to Louisiana.
NOPD Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick also confirmed the Guard is coming — but it’s still unclear when.
“In our society, visible presence of security is oftentimes very comforting to people,” Serpas said.
As chief of police, Serpas's main innovation was setting up random and constitutionally questionable traffic checkpoints every other week. We were all very much comforted by that. Although it seems rather quaint in hindsight. Today there are cameras and microphones everywhere you go. Your "private messages" can prompt police to show up at your house. And, of course, masked goons are kidnapping people off the street every day. By Serpas's count, this should be the most comfortable time in history.
