(AP) — A former New Orleans
police officer on trial for gunning
down a man outside a strip mall in
Hurricane Katrina's aftermath said
after the shooting that looters are
"animals" who "deserved to be
shot," a fellow officer testified Fri­
day.
The former officer, David War­
ren, is charged with fatally shooting
31 -year-old Henry Glover before two
other officers allegedly burned his
body in a car. Prosecutors say Glover
wasn't armed and didn't pose a
threat, but Warren's lawyers say he
thought Glover was a looter reach­
ing for a weapon when he shot him.
Alec Brown, a former officer who
left the force in 2008, testified that he
and Warren argued about looters
while patrolling after the 2005 hurri-
cane. Brown said he defended
people taking food, while Warren
said looters "were all animals and
they deserved to be shot, and that
they were all destroying the city."
"I told him, 'That's not right,'"
Brown said.
Six days after Glover's death.
Brown found Glover's burned re­
mains in a charred car abandoned
on a Mississippi River levee near a
police station. Brown said he re­
ported it to a superior officer, Travis
McCabe. McCabe is now a lieuten­
ant with the department.
"He said that they knew about it,
don't worry about it. Police need to
stick together," Brown said. "I be­
lieved it was a weird statement."
Later, Brown said, he was dis­
cussing the burned body with an-
other officer when McCabe

over­
heard. Brown quoted McCabe tell­
ing him, "I told you we already know
about it. Just leave it alone."
That didn't stop Brown from ask­
ing Warren about it later, while they
shared a patrol car.
"He put his head down and said,
'I don't know, maybe it was just a
looter,"' Brown said.
Four other current or form er
officers, including M cCabe, are
charged with trying to cover up
