Here's a story with a predictable ending.
Last week the New Orleans mayor praised the protesters... and then they showed up at her house.
You can add LaToya Cantrell to the list of public officials who changed their mind about the recent spat of political demonstrators after they visited her home.
New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell issued a scathing rebuke of their actions, saying they scared her daughter and should take their concerns to state lawmakers.
In an open letter released late Tuesday, Cantrell praised the Black Lives Matter movement that has inspired protests across the nation in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd, but condemned demonstrators who used the movement’s rallying cry when they converged on her home.
"It cannot be about misdirected anger. It cannot be about empty gestures. And it cannot be about storming angrily into a residential neighborhood leaving my daughter feeling terrorized. … We all have to be better than that."
Cantrell’s 12-year-old daughter was apparently home when the protesters converged on her Louisiana Avenue house on Friday. Cantrell was at a groundbreaking for the city’s fire department at the time.
