People come to our city from all over the world to celebrate Mardi Gras. Often some of these visitors think that there are no rules to abide by.
Our Police Force has an amazing talent for allowing fun to prevail without too much chaos. These men and women manage to control the revelry with a sense of humor and appropriateness. I do not think that many of their cohorts around the globe would be able to balance the drunkenness of the celebratory atmosphere without great exasperation.
I would like to introduce two officers whose quick and appropriate response during Saturday's Parades, may have altered two young boys' future. Two cousins were fighting in the street, and causing pain to themselves and those of us observing their intense anger.
Officers Misha Walker, and Kurt Coupon stepped in, separate the pair, talked to each one separately, and found their adult chaperon, and assisted in a Conflict Resolution Session on the street.
Please celebrate their willingness to help very young boys
to view their behavior a little differently.
