How do you feel about taking
another human being's life?
Well, like my daddy always said,
it's better be judged by 12
than carried by six.
And what did he do? He...
You know what he did.
He was a hero.
The vast majority of
New Orleans, Louisiana, is underwater.
Tens of thousands of homes
and businesses are beyond repair.
We're dealing
with one of the worst
natural disasters
in out nation's history.
The mayor, Ray Nagin,
of the city's 1500 police officers
to leave their search and rescue mission
and return to the streets
to stop people
from taking goods
from stores and businesses.
Jesus. Is that Kenny?
Yeah.
What the hell was your partner
doing here?
I don't know. We got separated
a couple days ago.
I've been down in the 9th Ward
since it hit.
People are trapped in there
like rats.
They never got half of them out
before the flood waters rose.
What?
Come on, help me.
Your late partner,
Mr. Kenny Cowlings...
What?
- Was he...?
- Was he what?
You tell me.
Was he dirty?
Ma'am, if Kenny was dirty,
I would have killed him.
Mm-hmm.
I've got a floater.
I'm gonna need some pickup.
All looters will be shot.
Get away from the store.
All looters will be shot.
Stupid motherf***er, you can't even
carry that TV. Freeze!
- Let's get the f*** out of here.
What the f***? Metro PD.
What the f*** are you doing?
- Stand down.
- Get your ass down from there.
I'm just doing my job.
- Stand down.
- You get your ass down off that roof.
Come in here
and clean your mess up.
We're all in this sh*t together.
What the f*** is the matter with you?
- Get off the roof.
- Stand down.
I will not. You stand down.
I'm just doing my job.
You get your ass down from there.
No, I will not.
You do your job.
- You just shot that man for no reason.
- He deserved it.
- Hey.
- Stan Johnson, 5th Ward.
- You a cop?
- Private security.
- He ain't no cop.
- I got this. You a cop killer?
You're pointing your gun at an officer.
Put that gun down.
- Stand down.
- Put it down.
- Andy Deveraux.
- Nice to meet you. Stan Johnson.
- Where's your partner?
- He left when the water got deep?
Yeah, mine stayed.
- Where are you from?
- Chicago. I just transferred.
Lucky you.
Yeah, right? Lucky me.
That guy shot that man for no reason.
The Big Easy
ain't so easy anymore.
As the ferocious
hurricane Katrina
drew a bead on their precariously
sited city and suburbs,
metropolitan New Orleans residents
prayed for salvation...
The death toll
from Hurricane Katrina
continues to climb dramatically.
Entire communities have been wiped out.
And residents of New Orleans
are now being told
they may not be able to return
to what's left of their city for months.
The number of dead
in the devastated city
could well be into the thousands.
Conditions continue to deteriorate
after two levies broke
sending water coursing
through the streets.
An estimated 80% of the city which lies
below sea level is underwater...
We are facing a storm
that most of us have feared.
I do not want to create panic,
but I do want the citizens to understand
that this is very serious.
That's why we've taken this
unprecedented move.
Every person is hereby ordered
to immediately evacuate
the City of New Orleans.
Truckloads of water,
ice, meals, medical supplies,
generators, tents and tarpaulins.
There are currently over 1700
trailer trucks
which have been mobilized to move
these supplies into position.
The Coast Guard has worked heroically
for the last 48 hours,
rescuing or assisting well more
than 1000 people who were in distress
and held high and dry
above the flood waters.
The Federal Emergency
Management Agency is scrambling
to find temporary housing
for tens of thousands of people,
to rescue people stranded on roofs
in the now uninhabitable Super Dome.
This recovery
will take a long time.
This recovery will take years.
In some cases violence
has broken out as people looted stores.
Several businesses report
having their entire stock of guns
and other weapons taken.
And police officials report
armed gangs roaming the streets.
- Hey, what up, coz.
- Hey, coz, how are you doing, man?
- Yeah, go ahead in that there.
- Yeah, keeping it real.
- Man, what's up?
- Yeah yeah, what up, coz?
What's up, man?
You got some new chompers on you, coz.
- Morning.
Hey, coz, you got what I need?
Yeah, baby.
Hey, babe.
It's the Latin Kings!
Hey y'all, grab your sh*t.
It's the Latin Kings!
F***, Chamorro.
Are we through?
No, sir, we're not.
You have a new partner now.
Do you trust him?
Starting to.
Look at this.
Two joints tops.
A bunch of wannabes.
Been out there all day.
Oh, not this a**hole.
- Whoa.
Welcome to my park. This sh*t will
get you hot for real, no joke.
- Nice. Thanks, man.
- Y'all are welcome back anytime.
- Thanks.
- Yeah, appreciate it.
Freeze. Narcotics.
- What did I do, man?
- Hands behind your head.
Turn around.
I just want to talk to you.
Sh*t, man.
Oh, look what we got here, Stan.
What's a punk like you doing
with a SIG Sauer?
Ooh, a fancy gun.
Got an ID, killer?
No, I don't have an ID.
- How about a name, a**hole?
- My boys call me George Carter, man.
Shut up. I know this punk.
His name is Downey Little.
What are you doing in my park?
You know me...
no walking on the grass,
no pissing on the trees and no dealing.
Okay okay, put the gadget down.
Turn around.
Let me see that gun.
Put it down before I blow your head off,
motherf***er.
Sh*t, blow away, a**hole.
It don't mean nothing.
Shoot him, Stan. Shoot him.
Oh, sh*t.
Get off me, coz. Damn, man.
- Get off me, man.
- Don't cuff him, Stan. Get him up.
Get up!
This is my park.
I'm gonna give you a 9mm in a second.
Wait a second. Whoa whoa, come on.
I don't do that, man.
All right.
Let's shoot him, Stan.
It's not right to shoot.
He's not a threat.
Well, he's willing to kill a cop.
We take him out now...
we're gonna save another life.
Let's shoot him.
Don't shoot. Look, man, look,
I know some valuable things.
- You don't know sh*t.
- I know some real sh*t, man.
The dude named Ray Delacroix,
man, Delacroix.
The dude hangs
on El Dorado Street, man.
That nigga's got
the whole damn street, coz.
- What?
- Ray Delacroix, man.
- What does he look like?
- Man, the cat's black, man.
He's a black dude
with freckles, man.
And he drives a tight green Capris.
And the Capris got some 24s on it.
What do I care
about a mid-level dealer
in a fat car? Big f***ing deal.
The nigga is a DEA agent, man.
The dude works for the feds
and he works for the street muscles.
Now why do I care about
a Fed rat named Delacroix?
Get up.
Sh*t, Latin Kings.
- Are you okay?
- I'm all right.
- That was lucky.
- Not for Downey Little.
So after they found his partner dead,
he asked for you
to transfer over from patrol
to the VCTF and become his partner?
Yeah, a little kick in the paycheck.
