On Patrol.

26 July 2006 - New Orleans - Louisiana. Law and Order.
2228 MP Company, Louisiana National Guard. Military Police patrol. 5th District.
With crime beginning to pick up as people return to the city following the destruction of Hurricane Katrina, 300 Louisiana National Guardsmen returned to New Orleans to supplement local police and provide increased cover and back up in parts of the city that remain derelict and thinly populated since the devastating floods. MP's stop to question a suspicious man who turn out to be drunk. He insists on lifting his shirt to show the MP's an unhealed gunshot wound, along with what they suspect to be a gaping wound from a self removed catheter bag. The man needs serious medical attention but refuses to accept an offer of assistance and stumbles away into the night.
