How NOLA Superdome made it back after Katrina

Army Lieutenant General Russel Honore, who led "Task Force Katrina," an effort to evacuate Superdome refugees, shares his experiences with Scott Pelley and describes what it means to him to see New Orleans coming back.

[@USAIRFORCE621]

The General has tremendous respect from me, and he's right you do not bring guns to a rescue mission!

[@dallasyap3064]

Agreed. But its always good to bring at least a side arm just in case.

[@WhatNow4140]

He is a true American.

[@alnabulsi313]

I was 15 years old when I watched the levees breaking live. I never ever forgot the moment when he deescalated those armed guardsmen. His advice over the last 17 years has been a calming and centering presence.

[@seanstephenson7081]

Yeah you're right buddy He doesn't play games, he did a damn good job disarming black and brown people throughout New Orleans during his visit You know violating the second amendment and keeping poor brown and black people from any means to defend their self, I guess in that context he did a good job.. look it up, he even disarm people and took their firearms who weren't in the flooding area You do realize that when it comes to South to try to take guns from southerners it's not just going to include white southerners.. He's an equal opportunity tyrant

[@paysour3]

No he has not been brought on to do the investigative work. That's going to be up to the Department of Justice. His job is to provide strategy to prevent the capital book from being overrun. To enhance the infrastructure of the capitol. I have no doubt that he will also have a rapid deployment team ready and better coordination and deployment of Capitol Police. His job will be to harden command-and-control. Just think if they had brought in two or three helicopters to buzz the crowd the way they did the black lives matter protest.

[@mattweizhongxian7238]

@@paysour3 I wish they did that

[@seanstephenson7081]

Good, then he can get those q-tards and those antifa members who were there to stoke violence, there was estimated to be 1 million protesters at the Capitol on January 6th, out of those 1 million people 200 chose violence that represents .02% of the protesters present that day.. It should be clear and obvious that the overwhelming majority of the protesters were peaceful and it was not a coup attempt..just one month before that BLM and antifa protested through the streets of Washington DC burnt down buildings police vehicles assaulted and maimed police officers as well and the numbers were much more higher with the numbers of protesters that were riding and the number of violent attacks against police and property but I guess you all forgot about that..🤔🤔 #selectiveoppression

[@lenoragood9238]

He told them to POINT them down,

[@6153calme]

Yes, I agree with the comment. In 2005 after hurricane hurricane Katrina disaster. The national guard of Louisiana was surveying the damage. General Honore headed the guards giving the captain instructions to safely help the people. And all of a sudden a blue pickup truck with 10 or 15 police officers on the back. The police officers pointed their guns at the general. General Honore made those police officers put those guns down.. I'm surprised that he could have ordered those guards to shoot or arrest those police officers.

[@dallasyap3064]

A true American hero who cares for the people. He did a great job. But why did cops point their guns at the General?

[@blakebrown4060]

They weren't cops and they weren't pointing their guns at him nor anyone in particular. He was telling them to put their weapons down instead of holding them up in the ready position, which is aggressive posturing.

[@dallasyap3064]

@@blakebrown4060 well I remember I read somewhere that those were cops. But who they are pointing or they were just getting into ready position, I'm not sure about that.

[@craigcrissman4651]

@@dallasyap3064 it was just an aggressive security posture which is completely unnecessary in a relief mission. Slung or low ready is completely adequate for the situation no need to be guns out

[@dallasyap3064]

4 stars are positions based. Unless he is promoted to those positions like Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army Chief or Vice Chief of Staff, combatant commanders and other 4 star positions. So unless he is promoted to such positions, then he's not gonna get 4 stars. 3 stars are also position or job based too if I'm not mistaken, 2 star is the maximum permanent rank, except for the 5 and 6 stars.
