One thing that was disturbing was one of the wealthy white communities had their police force block off a bridge so that none of the blacks fleeing NO would be able to come into their neighborhoods. It even got to the point that the police started to fire warning shots over the heads of the oncoming inner city people to make them turn around.
The police chief is even acknowledging this and justifying it by saying if we had let all those people come into our parrish, all the stores and homes would have been looted and burned just like New Orleans.
