Six days after Katrina, New Orleans officers fired on unarmed civilians crossing the Industrial Canal here, killing seventeen year old James Brissette and forty year old Ronald Madison and wounding four more. Madison, who had a mental disability, was shot in the back. The department then built a cover story around a planted gun and a false report. Federal prosecutions followed and several officers were convicted, some for the shootings and some for the cover up.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
