It's going to be hard to do that, without looking at what happened this time around...?
you cannot look at the situation and say "hey, the people in charge did everything right." If its true about 50-60% of the NOPD walking off the job, you have to question the higher-ups at the NOPD and their abilities, no? Not to mention some of the NOPD was looting?! Without the police, it makes it hard to control those "armed gangs" and the "looters," even though that is the last thing they should have to deal with (i think we all agree on that). Thats just one example I am thinking of...
A lot of talk about lack of food, water, medicine.. poor planning? I know roads are inaccessible due to hurricane damage, but there can still be air drops, etc. And yes I know the air vehicles are being used for rescue. I know its one big clusterfuck. I know there is a lot going on, but can someone really be satisfied with the way this situation was handled by those in charge? Much of the aftermath was preventable IMO. Not the hurricane damage, not the people who drowned, but the people who are starving for days afterwards? I would never ever want to see anything like this happen again, which is why you need accountability.
This is also not meant to take away from people who are doing what they are supposed to be doing, nor is it meant to take away from the people who braved it out all the way thru, like DirectNIC. For those people, it just shows their true colors how they can stick it out, even in the roughest of times.
On a side note, it also could be the media is brainwashing my mind
you really don't know what you see unless you're there, but the blog posts seem to line up with what I'm saying about lack of coordination, which IMO is preventable with the right people in place.
