Under the new law, the NOPD officers will simply bring the potty mouth in, book him, take one of those photos that are made by people practicing to be DMV photographers, print him so he gets ink all over his shirt, put him in orange, and produce income for the Bail Bondsman. Then the DA can reduce the charge to misdemeanor Drunk and Disorderly, and everyone gets one with life.

But, in the old days, the NOPD officers would take the perp to the levee and use him as a Baton Practice Dummy, till something happened that looked like calling EMS was warranted, the New Orleans Parish Coroner would rule that it was accidental, and, after a federal investigation and trial, it could be then called Estate Planning Raymond Robair style. But, at least Robair wasn’t charged with a “hate crime.”
