I think that if they left, they should have been fired and the ones that were looting should have been arrested convicted and fired, or like I said before that all looters should have been shot on sight. The Mayor who is a racist ordered the disarming, and should have been convicted for Civil Rights violations, as well as those that followed the orders. I work in an area not far from New Orleans and would refuse any such orders. When some officers started talking about people with guns, some saying that we should take them, I told them that was a stupid idea and a good way to end up in Federal prison, and this was before the Heller decision. I expected the Heller case to be a landmark decision, and I hope that anyone that grabs guns from law abiding people ends up in Federal Prison as an example.
