NOPD Supervisor Warren Riley Must Be Removed

Target:
Population of New Orleans
Sponsored by: 
Here in New Orleans post-Flood we have a crime rate that is the worst in the Nation. Supervisor Riley is doing nothing to correct the situation.

Now we learn that the Evidence storage trailer has been compromised. $19K , and possible many more thousands of dollars, are missing.

529 arrests have just been released from prosecution because the NOPD didn't file reports on the cases.

Warren Riley is totally ineffectual in the performance of his duties as Supervisor of the New Orleans Police Department. Crime is up, there is seemingly no oversight and control being exercised in the operation of our police force.

Mayor Nagin must confront this problem and dismiss Mr. Riley in order to help those of us rebuilding our city to be safe. Our city's future depends on this.

Mayor Nagin, we the undersigned have no more tolerance for the ineffectual operations of the New Orleans Police Department under Supervisor Warren Riley's watch. We wish to see the crime rate go down, and we desire accountability for those arrested when the cases are turned over to the District Attorney's Office.

We, the people who are actually rebuilding this wonderful city deserve the protection from crime that we pay for through our taxes. We are not seeing that protection and all we seem to get is excuses.

It's far past time to remove Mr. Riley from his post and get a true leader in the NOPD.

There can be no hope of improvement in the crime situation until this incompetent is removed.

The police department is not doing their job. To much crime, therefore Riley must go.

Riley is blaming rising crime on the poor educational system that produces these criminals, but what of the hundred of reports not filed by NOPD which forced cases to be dismissed? We have given him his chance and he has not proved equal to the job.

I am horrified for New Orleans that Riley (and Nagin, but that's another comment for another petition) somehow keeps his job. Seeing day after day of crime upon crime and continued violence breaks my heart. It must be nice (heavy on the irony, please) to be Riley, to have no responsibility to such a high level position that could be HELPING New Orleans expedite her recovery from the Federal Levee Failure by actually WORKING to LOWER the crime/murder rate SUBSTANTIALLY. In the old days, NOPD's known corruption wasn't great, but dang, NOLA is now featuring the double whammy of Murder AND Crime Capital of the Country?!?!?! NOT to be tolerated - Riley MUST go!!!! (and take C. Ray w/him!!!) Peace, love, New Orleans!!! Wendy

Warren Riley, the Chief of Police, was quoted in the paper today as saying crime may be due to drinking the Mississippi River water. He refuses to acknowledge the many mistakes the NOPD leadership has made or do his job for that matter. He should go!

We have a broken criminal justice system. This petition just begins to list all of the issues that aren't being addressed.
