thousands of looters systematically destroy what Katrina left unscathed

Thousands of opportunistic vultures have looted stores all over the city

I've read of 'dozens' -- not thousands.

The New Orleans Times-Picayune has posted photos on its website of other police officers joining in the widespread theft from unattended stores.

The 2 photos I saw (one I still found on the website) were of police confiscating looted items.  The caption did not read that the officers were looting the stores.
