This year began in tragedy, as a man drove his truck, one with an ISIS flag, into those celebrating on Bourbon Street. He also got out and began firing. Police killed the suspect, Shamsud Din Jabbar, but not before he killed 14 people. There’s been plenty of concerns about how law enforcement, including the FBI, handled the terrorist attack, making it even more necessary for Kash Patel to be confirmed as President-elect Donald Trump’s FBI director.

Blackburn had some pretty pertinent questions, “why was there no backup plan for this? How in the world could a law enforcement entity look at this and not have a proper backup plan to keep the public safe?” To add more embarrassment for the city, the police chief didn’t even know about the barriers.
Swecker offered that the issue was “complacency and incompetence,” adding, “I mean, there’s no other way to explain it.” He also spoke to the exact role that the FBI played in investigating the terrorist attack, and why they have not done such a great job.

Now the FBI is not primary, but they have an intelligence role to play. Nothing bad had happened in a long time, so they got complacent,” he offered. Swecker also reminded that having such barriers “is not an alien concept to them,” given that they have the Sugar Bowl every year, have had the Super Bowl, and Mardi Gras is a big annual celebration. New Orleans gets a multi-million dollar grant for security because of such events. […]
