NEW ORLEANS – Rebecca Glover said her family could not have been more horrified by what happened to her nephew: He was shot by police days after Hurricane Katrina hit, then left to die in a car that a[U] police officer[/U] drove to a deserted levee and set ablaze. Now she wants to know what happened to her nephew's skull.
Glover said the family was relieved after a jury last week convicted three current or former officers in Henry [URL="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101213/ap_on_re_us/us_katrina_burned_body#"]Glover's death[/URL], the burning of his body and the doctoring of a report on the shooting.
"But I still want to know what they did with his head," she said. "We want his skull back."
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and even New Orleans Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas want to find out what happened to the skull.
Orleans Parish coroner Dr. Frank Minyard said Glover's skull was not among the disconnected bones that arrived at the makeshift morgue set up after the storm.
"The skull was something that would have been extremely important," Minyard said on Monday. "We would have been able to determine if he was shot in the head."
The cause of Glover's death remains listed as unclassified, Minyard said. He said one of the bones had metal fragments that could have come from a[U] Gunshot wound[/U], or from the burned car.
William Tanner, a motorist who picked up the wounded Glover and drove him to a temporary police station looking for help, said he later saw Glover's skull in the back of his burned car, and even has pictures of it.
"It was there and then it was just gone," Tanner said. "Somebody took it."
In 2009, a Pittsburgh television station aired a report that showed video shot by a pair of Pennsylvania detectives who were in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. The video showed a skull in the back of the burned car.
The NAACP's New Orleans branch has asked the U.S. Justice Department to keep its investigation open until investigators determine what happened to Glover's skull.
If they cannot find the skull, the civil rights group is asking the judge to make it a significant part of the sentencing process, said Danatus King, president of the NAACP's New Orleans branch.
"The only information we have is the knowledge that (the officers) benefited by the skull being missing," King said. "The skull could have shown that Mr. Glover was shot in the head. So with it missing, who benefits?"
U.S. Attorney Jim Letten said on Monday he could not comment on the missing skull.
A former officer, [URL="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101213/ap_on_re_us/us_katrina_burned_body#"]David Warren[/URL], was convicted of manslaughter for shooting Glover. Officer Greg McRae was found guilty of driving the car the dying man was in to the levee and setting it on fire. Lt. [URL="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101213/ap_on_re_us/us_katrina_burned_body#"]Travis McCabe[/URL] was convicted of writing a false report on the shooting and of lying to the FBI and a grand jury.
At the request of McRae's lawyer, U.S. District Judge Lance Africk barred prosecutors from referring to the missing skull during opening statements for the trial. But prosecutors said they didn't intend to argue or imply that the defendants removed or tampered with the skull, Africk said.[/quote][URL]http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101213/ap_on_re_us/us_katrina_burned_body[/URL]
Fuck tha police :ohdear:
yea dem coppa be bringin da black man down mang
holy shit a black guy tried to kill me while i was in new orleans - i wonder if thats him.
What the fuck, cops?
Before anyone goes off on this, not all cops are bad.
How can anyone disagree with me, the only thing keeping people from stealing everything you possess are the police.

Yea just 99% of them
some cops are cool and understanding, though they are rare as hell.
Fucking racists.
Wow.
One would think we'd be over this crap by now.

Like the time I was cussed at for 5 minutes for j walking, or my arm was almost broken for having [B]less than a gram of weed on me[/B] most cops are assholes and that's why I flip them off visibly every time I drive by one.

Indeed, 2010 and shit like this still happens, makes me sick.

So you being an asshole proves they are assholes?

Ah, alright, so the next time a minority does something bad to you, make sure you do that to each one you see. Stop generalizing an entire group.

so let me get this straight,The police hassled you for having something illegal on you, and that makes all cops assholes, so you continue to tempt fate by attempting to draw police attention to you so you can later cry about being caught on facepunch?
my god I hope I can become as cool as you one day.
as for the story in the OP, doesn't really surprise me, considering the NOPD is one of the most corrupt police departments in the country, than again the entire city is a cesspool of corruption.
I'm not saying that all cops are perfect, but to imply they're all racist stormtroopers is just as stupid as saying all black people are criminals
the way I see it everyone hates cops until they need help.

New Orleans is still fucked up, much more likely to happen there than anywhere else in the country.

Generalizations in this thread are reaching critical mass
Haters gonna hate.
I just think that the police got their job applications mixed in the mail, and somewhere out there there's a bunch of KKK whitetrash stopping cars on the highway whilst asking people "Excuse me sir, is that a dead hooker in your car?"
..."No, it's my mom, she's sleeping..."...
But, anyhow... That explains it, no?
Cops around me are cool. But they did confiscate my weed once.
For 20 bucks.
Know this, if there were no cops you'd probably be dead.
I'm beginning to think that a thread in this section requires one of the following in the topic to be successful: Misogyny, Race, Religion, Anti-establishment, Death, Pedophilia, Bodily fluids, and Sex.

It's same as with priests. Once there's a dirty generalization, people latch on it.

lol, where are you getting that from? I respect the police and want to major in criminology, but to make a such a broad claim that they prevent most murders is kind of ridiculous

it's also kind of ridiculous that they dont 99% of the time. It's probably more like 40% if you wish to pull statistics out of your ass.
