Trinidad Police Chief Charles Gregory needs a good thrashing.
Instead of responding to the charges, the city launches a heavy handed cover up. This certainly lends some credibility to her report.
There’s two sides to every story. This side is getting the publicity first.
Include her right to free speech.
“If your water looks discolored, contains sediment, has a strong odor”. Have to be awful thirsty to drink that.
First order of business for the city is to fire its attorney. Then figure out who else to let go to cover the settlement costs.
All she said is that she received reports and people who have concerns should report problems.
I thought all Texans drink their water from a muddy huff print.
Sounds like she has a case to me, from what I read what has been posted.
She couldn’t pay for better “Banned In Boston!!” style publicity. Was a complete unknown until now.
Start with this: How’s the water?
I’d normally say that this is the type of thing that happens in Third World countries like Trinidad but these days, it easily could happen in the UK, other European countries or even some parts of the US.
The sheriff claimed that her claim was untrue “
she claimed that the city’s water issues had led to hospitalizations due to bacteria.”
this is what confuses me, sheriff seems to say she claimed it led to her hospitalization and it did not, so she was basically yelling fire in a crowded theater.
so if she did not claim it was her, and it is provable that there were hospitalizations from this than she needs to hope that “qualified immunity” does not apply,
and not for the directors of the water dist either.
So this is what criminal activity now looks like. So much for the First Amendment in Texas. I guess asking questions is no longer allowed. I hope that the city has a lot of financial reserves to payout when the lawsuits are settled.
“......”We have received reports that some citizens have been hospitalized due to bacteria in the water. This is a serious public health concern that deserves immediate attention. If your water looks discolored, contains sediment, has a strong odor, or you have experienced related health issues, please send us a message. We are gathering information and reporting findings to the state.......”
