Found the video

I went over to the Gun Owners of New Hampshire website and found the video of the cops slamming a New Orleans resident that was holding a gun. Scroll down to where it says CHiP Officer. The resident was a head-strong elderly woman who was holding the gun by the cylinder. She was not threatening the officers. They took the gun. From my perspective it looked like a battery and a robbery. From the narration in the video, the officers were identified as California Highway Patrol officers.

I wrote my Governor an outraged letter. Then I edited it and prepared it for mailing. The officers in that video should be prosecuted, and Governor Blanco should be the official that brings it to the attention of the Attorney General.

Come to think of it, the Attorney General of the state of Louisiana is an elected official. Before being elected Attorney General, he was the Sheriff of Orleans Parish. Maybe I should write him a letter, too.

Powerful, powerful video of LEO in New Orleans shortly into the disaster. It's a mms:// stream, D/L to about 7 MB total.
