Weekend reservations at popular spots book up a week or more in advance. A manager at one Inner Loop hot spot recently shared that revenues currently exceed 2019’s strong sales.

NEW ORLEANS (CN) Sixteen judges of the Fifth Circuit appeared split Wednesday during a special en banc hearing over Dallas County’s bail program that critics say keeps indigent defendants in jail indefinitely because they cannot afford their release.
George Karakatsanis, an attorney for the indigent plaintiffs challenging the system, argued people are being detained for weeks, or even months, simply because they are unable to post bail.
U.S. Circuit Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod, an appointee of George W. Bush, asked at the start of the hearing if she could pose a “practical question,” or a series of such questions: for instance, how would the Dallas County court go about enforcing lesser bail for indigent detainees?
The ranking Louisiana State Police officer at the scene of the deadly 2019 arrest of Ronald Greene falsely told internal investigators that the Black man was still a threat to flee after he was shackled
NEW ORLEANS (AP) In perhaps the strongest evidence yet of an attempted cover-up in the deadly 2019 arrest of Ronald Greene, the ranking Louisiana State Police officer at the scene falsely told internal investigators that the Black man was still a threat to flee after he was shackled, and he denied the existence of his own body camera video for nearly two years until it emerged just last month.
New state police documents obtained by The Associated Press show numerous inconsistencies between Lt. John Clary’s statements to detectives and the body camera footage he denied having. They add to growing signs of obfuscation in Greene’s death, which the white troopers initially blamed on a car crash at the end of a high-speed chase and is now the subject of a federal civil rights investigation.
