Cheers greet police indicted in New Orleans bridge shootings

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (AP) -- More than 200 supporters applauded as seven indicted policemen arrived at a jail Tuesday to face charges in a deadly bridge shooting amid the chaos that followed Hurricane Katrina.

Each of the indicted men faces at least one charge of murder or attempted murder in the shootings of six people on the Danziger Bridge on September 4, 2005, less than a week after the hurricane hit.

One protester shouted "Police killings must stop" and "Racism must go" as the men arrived, but the protester was shouted down by the crowd yelling: "Heroes, Heroes."

Fucking pigs.

1. officer bowen was previously investigated for another murder
he shot another man dead in the early 2000s but was cleared by the police

seems a possibility this officer was trigger-happy from way back

i left a link previously to that story but can't find it now
