Remember The Police Massacre in NO during Katrina? Breaking News Former rogue police officer pleads guilty to Danziger Bridge shooting cover-up of stunning breadth in which six blacks were shot. By Times-Picayune Staff February 25, 2010, 12:53PM Laura Maggi and Brendan McCarthy wrote this story John McCusker / The Times-PicayunePolice must be held to the law, U.S. Attorney Jim Letten said on the steps of the federal courthouse Wednesday. Admitting a cover-up of shocking breadth, a former New Orleans police supervisor pleaded guilty to a federal obstruction charge on Wednesday, confessing that he participated in a conspiracy to justify the shooting of six unarmed people after Hurricane Katrina that was hatched not long after police stopped firing their weapons.
The guilty plea of Lt. Michael Lohman, who retired from the department earlier this month, contains explosive details of the alleged cover-up and ramps up the legal pressure on police officers involved in the shooting and subsequent investigation. It's unclear when Lohman's cooperation with federal authorities began, but he presumably is prepared to testify against the officers he says helped him lie about the circumstances of a shooting he immediately deemed a "bad shoot." <http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2010/02/former_police_officer_pleads_g.html > The wicked ENDTIME - NOT the RIGHTEOUS! http://Zetaheaven.org: [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
