CNN.com - New Orleans police face looting probe - Sep 29, 2005: "The New Orleans Police Department is investigating allegations some of its officers went on a looting spree while the city plunged into chaos after Hurricane Katrina, a police spokesman told CNN.
Capt. Marlon DeFillo, who earlier had been skeptical of reports of rogue officers looting, acknowledged the investigation after officials viewed a video showing an officer reaching for a gun as he blocked the door of hotel room.
The hotel's owner and an employee told CNN eight New Orleans officers had used the room to stage a four-day drinking and looting binge.(See the video behind the investigation -- 3:50)
If the allegations prove true, the department's internal investigation will result in 'swift and decisive action,' including criminal charges, DeFillo told CNN. The department has 'zero tolerance' for misconduct, he said."
