Tell me this isn't a ridiculous picture...........

[WeRQ4U]

Look at who they're "Patrolling". Get off the damn tank thingee and take some of these people out of there. If they can get in, why can't they take people OUT?

What fucking country IS THIS?

[LSK]

1. says state police - NOT NATIONAL GUARD n/t

[WeRQ4U]

17. Someone has to explain to me why this makes any difference....n/t

[onecent]

2. they look like fuckin' nazi's

[Sequoia]

10. Yes, those helmets are seriously NAZI style.

Oh, and their big manly guns aimed at women and babies.

[Rex]

3. Someone messed up the paint job on the tank

It should read "police state", not "state police". Sheesh.

Here we go:

[LordBinkyTheBuffoon]

[Hobarticus]

5. Woman on the right seems to be saying the same thing...

Either get us the fuck out of here, or go play dress-up somewhere else.

[Eurobabe]

6. uh, it doesn't begin with an I (eye)

they wouldn't be doing that to white people. Sorry, this picture is totally racist.

[Catherine Vincent]

7. So why didn't they bring extra food and water?????????

[growlypants]

21. yeah, those tank guys look quite well fed

[MADem]

8. Are they headed to the convention center?

I sure hope so--that place is like a wild west town--shots fired, rapes, robberies, a total mess. They sent 88 cops in, and they got beaten back by the mob. It is a frightening tableau there.

[movonne]

9. It could be Iraq..

[AX10]

11. There the police, not the Coast/National Guards.

[WeRQ4U]

14. I fail to see why this makes any fucking difference,

Police, national guard, army corps, local busline.... WHo fucking cares? THey have a vehicle capable of transporting people. What the hell are they going to do with the people that they "arrest" while patrolling........??

[Dr Fate]

13. Are they bringing food & water with them- or just keeping folks from it?

Seriously?

[growlypants]

16. Reminiscent of South Africa. Looks like a shanty town, anyway.

heavily armed whites, "guarding" the blacks.

[alcibiades_mystery]

23. We remember the same thing

See my post below.

[Alcibiades]

25. My thought too

They even have the wheeled APC like they use in South Africa.

[Ernesto]

30. How bout Star Wars........ Dark side storm troopers. n-t

[BlueJac]

18. Sight seeing!

Strange photo, did they already drop off the food and water?

[WeRQ4U]

24. SOrry, we couldn't bring any food or water cause these guns need two hands

But I promise you that if you die, it won't be from gang violence.

[alcibiades_mystery]

19. Looks like the Soweto Township circa 1983

Seriously.

22. The picture's not nearly as ridiculous...

as some of the comments being posted about it.

[TheWatcher]

28. And What would those be?

Hmm?

[-..__...]

Let me simplify it for you by process of elimination.

It's none of the following...

26. Are all Louisiana state police white?

[seabeyond]

29. this is so fuckin outrageous.

this shoudl just be put out everywhere. looks like iraq

[SoCalDem]

31. should read.. "Police State"..not state police

begging for a photoshop

[TroglodyteScholar]

32. Whew, I'm relieved...It's just what New Orleans needs...

...a show of force. This is how Republicans deal with dark skinned people in any circumstance. They were surpised when Iraq didn't welcome the tanks in their city streets. What makes them think that shit is any more appropriate in New Orleans? I'll tell you what -- they're SAYING saving lives is top priority, but in reality, they're so obsessed with property that they'd rather try to scare the looters away from a bunch of waterlogged shit that's already worthless anyway.

Absolutely shameful.

[DoYouEverWonder]

33. Put down the fucking guns

and bring these poor people food and water. Then you won't need the fucking guns.

That's just what we need is a military response to a disaster. Fucking jack asses.

[mshasta]

34. looks like ...iraq....

just diferent uniform color...

[mogster]

35. This picture speaks volumes! n/t
