Violence abounded in the anarchic days right after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans five years ago, and new evidence continues to come out indicating that the New Orleans police department was responsible for much of it. Investigative reporter A.C. Thompson covered "Katrina’s Hidden Race War" for The Nation and helped bring attention to—and accountability for—the crimes committed by officers in the days after the storm.

Thompson continues to cover this beat as a reporter with ProPublica, and he joins The Nation on Grit TV to report on the ongoing investigations uncovering, little by little, just what happened after the hurricane. Jacques Morial, co-director of the Louisiana Justice Institute, also joins the conversation via phone.
