[New Orleans Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick] told reporters, “What you see behind us is what we call hardening the target. We have brought in heavy trucks. You will see when you go down Bourbon, you will see yellow, what we call ‘archers,’ and they are along the sidewalk. That would be to be preventive.”
“If someone had or if this particular terrorist went around up on the sidewalk, that’s what that would do. It would slow that down for anyone who thought that they could breach our targets. Those are some of the main differences we are done in the quarter.”
“Also, you are going to see an incredibly large presence of police. We are, though, confident, but we want our community to feel confident and know they are confidently safe. That’s what we’re going to do.”
“Right now, I can declare to you that the Bourbon Street is open.”
A perplexed reporter asked, “Chief, where did those ‘archers’ come from….the yellow archers, where did they come from?”
Kirkpatrick, “Actually, we have them. I didn’t know about them, but we have them, and so we have been able now to put them out.”
