I read the source there and it has quite a bit more about the case itself, but the ways in which they made this wrong just goes on and on. Wow.

A request by Mayor Mitch Landrieu initiated the nearly year-long investigation into the department's system of paid detail - private security work performed by off-duty officers for third parties.
Among the report's findings were that the officer-negotiated paid detail system "led to officers abandoning their official duties in favor of detail work, preferential treatment for private employers, officer fatigue, extortion of private businesses, lack of policing in certain neighborhoods, and undermined the chain of command by permitting lower-ranking officers to act as detail coordinators for higher-ranking officers," the April 15 opinion says.
