The Police Association of New Orleans is asking the community to curtail their judgment of the law enforcement response to the terrorist attack on New Year's Day.

PANO released a statement, saying now is not the time for knee-jerk reactions.

This comes after the community criticized the city's response to the attack, specifically the lack of bollards in place for the holiday and the reopening of Bourbon Street just one day after the tragedy.

According to PANO's statement, the association is asking people to stop calling for the resignation of NOPD Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick specifically.
