An astonishingly quick arrest, would it be out of line to say, GOOD JOB NOPD??
If this is the right guy, NOPD was really quick to make a capture, and as much grief as they get for NOT always getting the job done, maybe this time they need to be congratulated, just sayin’…

My own personal opinion is that the arrest was quick becuse he’s a cracker, and we do not ALL look alike. Probably helped a bit.
Could you imagine if all they had to go off was: His name is Terrance and a black male?
Good job to the cops though, although color doesn’t matter down there, it’s a color blind city after all, and when it comes to crime you shouldn’t profile a certain race in a God forsaken place such as NOLA. /sarcasm.
