Good lord, commissioners are arguing the increasing crime isn't a problem.

It's "up" but it's not as bad as it was in the past. So ya'll, it's not as bad as the 80's, so nothing to worry about.

This is getting testy.

Can you imagine if a private company had that attitude?

Ford CEO: "Yes, our new fleet of vehicles are much more dangerous for riders than two years ago, but they are still safer than our vehicles from the '70s!"

The goal should be 0 homicides and the top priority should be the safety and well-being of law abiding citizens and their families.

Jack Cagle and Steve Radack have to want to gouge their ear drums out sitting with those clowns.

The special interest idiot just talking in opposition to new restrictions on PR bonds bragging about how criminals detained instead of released at more likely to commit more crimes. Did the thought ever cross her mind that criminals remanded are usually repeat offenders and/or a more serious risk to the public?

Radack has retired, it's Tom Ramsey now, but yes, he's not happy either.

I said it before. Someone needs to use that same metric for racism and see what the response is. "It's not a big deal, used to be way worse"

If I was an evil genius and wanted to destroy one race I would do the following to that race:
  • Destroy their family structure.
  • Increase their dependency on government.
  • Reinforce cultural focus on non-scalable professions (athletes and entertainers).
  • Excuse any poor academic performance by blaming the system.
  • Maximize abortions amongst the race.
  • Maximize homicides amongst the race.

That's systemic racism.

You forgot enforcement of bail to get out of jail while they are on trial for crimes that they didn't commit!!

Also, according to one speaker you can be charged with assault without ever touching another person. Think about that for a second.

Lina Hidalgo and Rodney Ellis stack the speakers' spots with these payed Leftist "community organizers" to block out the space where ordinary citizens would normally have the ability to speak.

I had no idea so many "Texas Community Project" type groups actually existed.

It's funny when these callers use the exact same data to present their point. So either they are all researching the same source, or they were fed the information from someone. It's a mystery.

No, that's when they hired a County Administrator, who can now bury personel changes out side of court.

If you're watching, the county lawyer, budget office and engineer are no longer in the session.

They've been gutting the politically independent career service people who had the temerity to say "we can't afford it." The new county administrator is the local political toadie they put in charge of the budget office when they fired Bill Jackson with no notice.

The county re-org was mentioned by pct3, to make sure everything is transparent. 30 days is when the County Admin has to make his report on the path forward.

Sounds like a lot of potential change coming.

Turns out Bill Jackson and Garcia had some friction from back when Garcia was county sherif. Shortly after Garcia becomes a commissioner Jackson is gone.

Now Poppe is gone. Can't imagine Blount will be around much longer. They also got rid of the county clerk, can't remember her name off the top of my head. She was replaced with an interim hire direct from the DNC who oversaw the election.

Diane Trautman. She made the mistake of mentioning election law to them, so they forced her out.

You actually can. Tex. Penal Code 22.01(a)(2)

Quote:
Sec. 22.01. ASSAULT. (a) A person commits an offense if the person:
(1) intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causes bodily injury to another, including the person's spouse;
(2) intentionally or knowingly threatens another with imminent bodily injury, including the person's spouse; or
(3) intentionally or knowingly causes physical contact with another when the person knows or should reasonably believe that the other will regard the contact as offensive or provocative.

In the civil context, assault is a threat of unwanted contact and battery is actual unwanted contact. Most penal codes combine the two into an assault charge.

Not a killing but I saw an ambulance with patient in tow was highjacked at gunpoint last night.

Like something out of a GTA video game.

The gunman, who was not immediately identified, was under the influence of some kind of substance and has a lengthy criminal history, police said.


I refuse to believe this. I think he's interested in going to medical school and wants to see first hand what kind of care patients receive from emergency responders. He's a valuable member of society.

that's a crazy situation with the ambulance hijacking. HFD needs to take a look at their protocols going forward.

the EMT in the back and the patient were abandoned and left at the mercy of the gunman
