What Happened to the Blacks in Algiers Point?

A.C. Thompson spent months speaking with survivors of Katrina about a racist militia that formed in the predominantly white neighborhood of Algiers Point. White residents told investigators that police had given them a green light to shoot anyone, quote, breaking into their property and to leave the bodies on the side of the road. Others spoke of a free-for-all of white against black where whites indulged in violence with impunity.
