Five Police Convicted in Post-Katrina Shootings
The current and former officers are found guilty of federal charges in the
Danziger Bridge case, in which two New Orleans civilians were killed and
four wounded

Reporting from Atlanta Five current and former New Orleans police officers
were convicted Friday on federal charges stemming from the Danziger Bridge
case, perhaps the most notorious of several instances of violent police
misconduct in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, when the city
was plunged into chaos and fear.
.
On Sept. 4, 2005, six days after the city flooded, a group of police,
responding to a call that fellow officers had come under fire, rode to the
bridge in a Budget rental truck and shot at the people walking on it,
killing two and injuring four. Federal prosecutors alleged that the
civilians were unarmed and that the officers later took part in an
elaborate coverup.
.
With Friday's jury verdict, calls for closure rang out from City Hall and
Washington. Mayor Mitch Landrieu said it closed "a dark chapter in our
city's history," adding: "We now have an opportunity to turn the page and
to heal."
.
U.S. Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr., in a separate statement, said he hoped
the verdict "contributes to the restoration of public trust in the New
Orleans Police Department."
.
But others wondered whether the lingering bitterness over the case would
taint efforts to reform a notoriously underperforming and corrupt
department charged with maintaining order in a city suffering from a
homicide rate 10 times the national average.
.
Peter Scharf, a Tulane University criminologist, said the Danziger
decision could hinder the ability of the federal government to effectively
carry out reforms under a consent decree being hammered out between city
officials and the U.S. Department of Justice.
.
"The issue, I think, is: Does this help or hurt?" Scharf said. " And I
think right now there is a fear among the police, and a sense of being
attacked, and a sense of being a little paranoid."
