NOLA Police Chief didn't know city had portable barriers which may have stopped terrorist attack

[@scottw.7441]

Can somebody help her find the Door?

[@johnhmielewski1230]

Yeah Someone needs to be fired.

[@louisaraiza314]

Typical Louisiana incompetence at work here. No one knows what is going on in the city.

[@redheadwithafierytemper5668]

But I promise if one of the stores or hotels in the historic districts did work and didn't get permission to do so that place would be shut down for weeks. You have to have someone from the historic district come and see the project and give them the ok and have to hire someone that's also approved. How are you the police chief and don't know that your city has a stockpile of these things ? This would have prevented things at least on Bourbon Street.

Disgraceful 💯🙄🙈👿🤬🫵🏻🫵🏻🫵🏻

Unless it's bull crap and everyone thinks they know. I'm from Louisiana and the Lousiana politics is in full effect.

She was terrible in Oakland and yet the corrupt mayor decided to hire her 🤦🏻‍♀️

Isnt that always the case? Our city chief went to miami after causing havoc here i hear

Too late now don’t ya think?

Don't ya think if they had them, and used them in the past then they should've been used that night?

[@redciroc1211]

Too late but it is what it is

[@WarFace-lj4kx]

@@redciroc1211 No. It is what you allow it to be, and further to be if you don't draw a line. They seem to have purposely failed the public.

[@bigdaddy5884]

They are not talking about the main root cause! It wasn’t because of no dam Barriers.

[@AprileAnderson]

My understanding is that the lack of barriers really didn't play a part in this. The man was out to kill people no matter what. Unfortunately what he did is horrible, but how many lives would've been lost if he'd used his bombs?? I 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻for all of the victims n their families

[@cmtippens9209]

I've been saying since this happened that there needed to be barricades that prevented someone from driving up onto the sidewalks, and now we find out that they had them all along, but didn't KNOW they had them?? That's poor communication and poor planning. But, I've seen it before with NOLA during Katrina, so it doesn't surprise me much.

[@texdawg0212]

Utter incompetence.

[@ctotheb7775]

She didnt know?? 100% incompetence. The chief needs to be fired...again.

[@honeyboowalker]

YES 🤦

God help us this is the Police Chief of New Orleans, no wonder Jamal picked the city

She needs to step down.

[@pamelahoward6511]

Left a few hours before the attack! The whole time there all I heard was sirens!

Need a much younger police chief and new mayor after this

Uhhhh, that is the police chief? You all may want to reconsider that!

[@DEMI_TIME7709]

Y’all just need to understand New Orleans is a wicked city and it attracts wicked people. Not the police chief fault. That city will always be a den of iniquity.

Somebody is getting fired

[@drewski1535]

Yea always after someone dies thats when they take action to 🤦‍♂️

[@teresah.6696]

When will people stop pointing fingers...if someone wants to drive thru a crowd, they can do it everyday, barriers only go so far, if the barriers was there it would just be a different street or different town.

[@timbaldwin6283]

That's not comforting to the families that were horribly affected by the incompetence of New Orleans officials.

Little bit late huh??? SMH

[@sida7757]

City didnt know city had em lmao bro they were conveniently put on a repair order in November according yo another source

[@sherrybrown8086]

Ok so who benefits financially from this ?

[@francinepadilla8197]

Of course she would say something like that, just so she could cover her butt from not being fired, how convenient, and because of her negligence, alot of people died, she needs to be held accountable in every aspect, the families Im pretty sure are going to sue not only the police department, but the city as well, sorry for your losses, my most sincere condolences to their families and friend's, may they all rest in eternal peace😭💔😭💔🙏🙏🙏!!!

[@CookingWithFatt]

It sounds like what she’s saying is that the yellow barriers are the city’s equipment. That’s why she didn’t know about it because it’s not part of the police department’s inventory.

[@durbanstudios2289]

Exactly 🎯

[@PAMELAPORTER-ci7mr]

​@@durbanstudios2289 Wouldn't the city & police dept have had at least 1 meeting regarding safety/security?

Look when law enforcement doesn't want vehicle traffic in the French Quarter you're not getting in. When there sre events Bourbon & Canal usually has more than one vehicle at that entrance to stop pll from even trying to drive down there. Also law enforcement is usually visible and not sitting in vehicles when blocking an entrance

[@loribaker8339]
