If you state that police brutality and corruption is evidence of ‘the violence and confusion’ of Post-Katrina then you are trying to make the case that the policeman killed those people as a response to Katrina trauma.
That is a defense that excuses the policemens behavior. It also makes the inference that it never would have happened under ‘normal’ conditions. Exactly what ‘normal’ conditions are police supposed to be working under in order to do their job well—protect not murder.
