My transcription:

1300 Canal Street -20 HOSTAGES BEING HELD BY NOPD OFFICERS!
One guy was able to escape.
Some kind of American Host suites

NOPD Officers are in uniform during the day, but acting up at night.

We have one credible witness who can confirm - he has a cell phone

(I am waiting to hear more...)

3. THey just gave the cell phone number to the Army Corps of Engineers

I am still listening, but my laptop is about to overheat. I am hoping ot get more info about htis...

If someone else could listen too I;'d appreciate. Link to feed in OP, I am listening to the right speaker (2 feeds played in stereo - easier to hear if you slide the balance to one side)

6. Yeah I heard it too

This is surreal - I can't believe what I heard - Im HOPING that what is actually happening is that the NOPD officers arrested looters and were holding them...
