Cops arent robots and stress believe it or not DOES affect them, especially after a hurrican roars through and next thing u know u got bodies floating by yer feet AND yer having to stop criminals from taking advantage of the situation AND having to guard yer own police department from a militia take-over with bullets flying everything, the brink of Anarchy they had to fight off.

Persoanlly shame on the city for having the mardi gras and putting more of a work load on those officers, they should have waited till at least next year and have one big SUPER HUGE ASS MARDI GRAS to make up. But then again, this does bring $$$ in, which was much needed, but those cops need the $$ too and some time-off.
