I grew up in Houston, that used to be an extremely violent police department, beatings were routine, on the streets, at the jail, and even at headquarters.

Sue the Houston Poilice Union and not the citizens.

Why are these officers still on the street?
If you did your job like they do theirs, you'd likely be fired - but not at HPD

"Criminal justice professor Larry Hoover said HPD's disciplinary system of gradually imposing more severe suspensions, coupled with the ability of an officer to appeal a firing to an arbitrator, makes it hard to get rid of bad officers."

How many of these union thugs are out there? I'm waiting for some individual cops to start coming out and fingering the bad cops. You know, like we want the Moslems to do.

The cops need to let the citizenry gethomesafeeverynight.

Why would they shoot at lawsuits?

[count-your-change]

And for running a stop sign you are shot dead? Traffic court must take place in the hospital or the morgue.

failing to use his signal before turning

Total BS reason to stop someone.

BWAHAhahaha

If you shot everyone who didn’t signal turns in Mass, the state would be depopulated in short order!

Back in my sysadmin days I hung out on alt.sysadmin.recovery. One of the British sysadmins was considering a job in the Boston, Ma, U.S.A. area and was concerned about driving here. Best advice he got?

“Use your turn indicator once or twice a year and you’ll be fine.”
