Called the Great New Orleans Gun Grab. Click the link to order a copy.
My copy arrived today, and I can barely put it down. Has anyone else read it?
The first chapter talks about an attorney by the name of Ashton O'Dwyer. He refused to evacuate, and was the first attorney to file a class action lawsuit against Mayor Nagin, Ploice Chief Compass, and Governor Blanco.
The day the suit was filed in Baton Rouge, he was sitting in the driveway of his New Orleans home when a SWAT team entered his property without a warrant, and took him into custody. Arriving at the train station that was serving as a makeshift jail, he was pepper sprayed numerous times while still hand cuffed. He was then shot in the legs with 12 gauge beanbag rounds and then placed in a holding cell. They removed the cuffs, and periodically police officers would walk buy and shoot him again with the beanbag rounds.
The next day he was released. The charge? Public Intoxication. In his own yard. Not drinking. Never tested for sobriety.
So far a good read, and an answer to the age old question of "Will the police obey when they are ordered to violate the rights of American Citizens?"
