I don't think it fair that Harry Lee, Sheriff of Jefferson Parish (Louisiana), isn't mentioned in here. He's a revolutionary type of law enforcer and I guarantee future peoples will look back and model their sheriffing on his methods.

-I do not think so, since among Louisianans it has become cliché to point out that he would be a successful governor for the state.

The section on Lee's performance in Jefferson Parish after Hurricane Katrina is tendentious and self-serving. Did his publicist write this? Also, it tries to absolve Lee, the Gretna Police and the City of Gretna of all charges of racism. It is disheartening to see the lengths someone will go to rationalize inhumanity.

There is so much bias in this article - it reads like a campaign ad. There is absolutely no mention of his controversial order issued in the 1980s about black men being stopped in a predominantly white neighborhood - something about a "rinky-dink" car. It is often referenced in other articles throughout wikipedia. He is a controversial figure, and the scope of this controversy should be reported on.
[edit] His last name?
When I look him up in Chinese websites, he is referred as 朱家祥, ie. his last name is Zhu in Chinese. Why does he change his last name to Lee? Kowloonese 06:17, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup
I did some cleanup of the article, and added his picture. Some of the wording almost makes me uncomfortable (reads like a carmpaign ad) but I only did cleanup, and didn't remove any of the content. Borders NPOV, but it doesn't cross the line IMHO. /Blaxthos 09:27, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
