"Show us what you've got" to be rescued
The US authorities were also castigated by British bus driver Ged Scott, from Wallasey, Merseyside, who was on holiday in the New Orleans area.

...

He told the Liverpool Daily Post: "I couldn't describe how bad the authorities were. Just little things like taking photographs of us, as we are standing on the roof waving for help, for their own little snapshot albums.

"At one point, there were a load of girls on the roof of the hotel saying 'Can you help us?' and the policemen said 'Show us what you've got' and made signs for them to lift their T-shirts. When the girls refused, they said 'Fine' and motored off down the road in their boat."

2. Attempted murder
If this story can be proven, verified, that cop should be put on trial for attempted murder.

6. That cop must have ridden on a lot of Mardi Gras floats
The problem is, he wasn't being asked by drunken co-eds to throw them beads, but by desperate storm victims to save their lives. What an @ss.
