I've already explained the raw to you. Reread the explanation.

I think they were trolling for it, and hit the jackpot, because with the "if it bleeds, it leads" mentality combined with the "all NO cops are corrupt" mentality, sprinkled with a little thing called, oh a hurricane, I think they saw Bourbon Street as a goldmine. I could find no statements of what they were actually there to cover, and if anyone can find out provable evidence of what this other "mystery story" was then I will gladly withdraw that comment.

And so what if they were? I'll tell you something, if I got a tip that cops were beating the crap out of the citizens of my town, you can BET my camera would be down there that night looking for it. Police abuse, which translates to governmental abuse, of the general public is wrong, it's illegal, and it's the media's
responsibility to expose it. This doesn't fall under the "if it bleeds it leads" concept, which by the way I have no trouble telling you that many TV stations buy into. Those stations go out and cover every traffic accident as though it's the biggest story of the day.
There's a very good reason to expose police brutality, and that's exactly what this news crew did.
