New Orleans Post Katrina

The video was very informative and I learned a lot about the New Orleans police department. This video started out talking about Henry Glover who was killed in the chaotic time after Katrina hit. Later it gives us the polices story of what happens but there are many holes in there story.At the of the video they give us the history of the troubled police department in New Orleans and it shows us the federal case between the x-cops and the U.S.A.
Henry Glover and his brother are the main characters but the news reporter acts as the narrator throughout and many cops give us there take.
I think that this documentary was made to revile what really happened in New Orleans after Katrina. I think this is important because the victims of these crimes deserve justice for what happened to them and there family. Also the man who created the documentary was one of those people who knew something wasn't right so he kept looking deeper until he found a lot of evidence showing that what the police reports said weren't all true.
I have learned that no ones perfect not even cops and also that during hard times anything can happen. I think that anyone who watches this can be touched by the story that is told but you may also be disgusted with what you hear.
The best technique I can take from this documentary is how the reporter supported his ideas with interviews for the people involved. Also he asked great questions which made the person being interviewed really think.
