Scumbag mom of the year candidate:

Quote:

At the time, deputies on the scene did not know that the child in the chokehold was Henry's 14-year-old daughter.

"At that point, I 100% believed that we had a hostage situation," Peters said.

According to Peters, the teen girl was crying and pleading with her mother to stop.
"I distinctly remember her at times saying, 'Shoot. Shoot me, shoot us.' Things of that nature," the deputy said.
Scumbag judge (Dim Melissa Morris) gave her a 10K bond. At least this piece of excrement is still in jail.

The shooting happened at the Friendly Store at the corner of Lyons Avenue and Schweikhart Street around 5:15 a.m. Thursday, Houston police said.
Name does not check out

Quote:

Investigators said surveillance video shows the man pull up and drop off two kids, who then went into the store. The man then got out of his car with an AR-15 wrapped in a towel and walked into the store, too, HPD said. Soon after -- shots were fired. However, police say they don't think it was on purpose. They believe he accidentally fired the gun, panicked, and fired a few more rounds. "At some point as he was leaving the store, it looks like he may have accidentally discharged the weapon anywhere from three to four times,"
Who the hell takes a loaded AR-15 into a convenience store wrapped in a towel if not to commit a crime?

Quote:

The child who was shot is a boy between 7 and 10 years old, HPD said. The other boy wasn't hit.
Police say ricochet rounds went out into the street and went through the car window of man driving by -- hitting him too. HPD said there was also a child in that car, but thankfully, they were not hurt.
Both the young boy and the driver of the car were taken to the hospital in critical condition but are expected to survive, police said.

So far, HPD said the man accused of firing the shots is not in custody.
Great police work.

According to court documents, each man had a weapon and four were seen handling a Glock with auto sear converting it to a fully automatic handgun, a prohibited weapon.

The document states multiple weapons and accessories were found in the trunk.

"11 armor piercing rounds on an ammo belt, and one of the guys actually had a Glock handgun, that was found in his underwear," said Kahan.

"The District Attorney's office asked for a $75,000 bond on each case," Kahan said.

But 174th Criminal District Court Judge Hazel Jones set bond for four of the defendants at just $10,000. 184th Judge Katherine Thomas set bond for the fifth defendant at $10,000 as well.


The five were out of jail and back out on the street within a day.

In the Bloody Nickel? Errybody.

Not at all saying that's what happened here, though.

Another question -- who takes kids to a convenience store at 5:15 in the morning? Then follows them in with a loaded gun?

Also, Shot Spotter technology? Can I get access to that? Fascinating.

The technology is mainly embedded in the Black and brown communities, but the report states that not only is this program not making a huge difference, it is also making them feel uncomfortable about their relationship with law enforcement.

Chronicle reporter Yilun Cheng said they followed the reports HPD was making at city council meetings in regards to the program. They were concerned about the results and started requesting more information and data.

Here's part of what they found:

Out of approximately 6,300 alerts between December 2020 and March 2023, more than 80% were canceled, marked as unfounded, dismissed as information calls, or closed because officers could not find evidence upon arrival.

In addition, HPD revealed in a February report to city council that officers recorded only 99 arrests and 126 charges out of 5,450 alerts, and half of those charges were misdemeanor offenses, with the most common being illegal discharge of a firearm.
Shot Spotter is super racist

The story is worse than that -- it says that the man dropped off two kids, not his two kids. Very WTF.

His ex-gf two relationships ago probably dropped them for him to watch while she either went somewhere with her new man or went with girlfriends to Coushatta (or a birthday party in a park all night).

I was visiting my brother in Atlanta last month and they had cameras all throughout their neighborhoods high up with a small sign that said CCTV by Atlanta Police for your safety…. It was bizarre. I know we have them in downtown and midtown Houston everywhere but it was surprising to see them in a Heights like ATL hood.ñ amd other hoods.

They have cameras in tanglewood now. Pretty sure they automatically read license plates for any car entering the neighborhood

There are Flock cameras going in at most middle- to upper end neighborhoods now as well as shopping centers (e.g. Bunker Hill H-E-B).

Pretty much any new intersection is outfitted with several cameras. Not just the vehicle-sensing cameras in the mast arms, but actual CCTV cameras on the posts.

Meanwhile I'm typing this post on the GPS tracker we all willingly carry everywhere we go. Not to go down all F16, but the surveillance state genie is so far out of the bottle, worrying about it now is a waste of time.

If this thread has taught me anything it is that it isn't a lack of information that is preventing criminals from being locked up but the motivation of the people with the information.

Anyone reporting a drop in crime statistics should be forced to also compare to 2019…..a drop doesn't really mean **** when the numbers shot up and destroyed a "normal" baseline

For reference, murders in
2019 - 291
2021 - 477
2022 - 435

So murders would need to drop over 30% to just be where we were prepandemic.
