Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

April 8, 2010

A few days after Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans Police Officer Michael Hunter and another officer, Sgt. Kenneth Bowen, encountered a group of unarmed residents crossing the Danziger Bridge.

After Hunter fired what he described as ?warning shots,? the group scattered. Bowen grabbed an assault rifle and shot at the terrified citizens.

It quickly became apparent that the men were injured and unarmed. Yet Bowen shot the wounded as they were bleeding on the ground. When he encountered a civilian who had fled, Bowen shot him in the back with a shotgun, then kicked and stomped the man as he bled to death.

In court documents outlining these events, Hunter ? who served as a police officer until he was charged on March 30 ? describes a police conspiracy to cover up the murders.

Federal Judge Sarah Vance described herself as ?sickened? by the ?raw brutality of the shooting and craven lawlessness of the cover-up.? But this is how government operates when those in power are free to behave as they wish.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
