HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Law enforcement officers across our area are being warned to watch out after a patrol car was sabotaged and two officers were shot at in two separate incidents.

On this busy New Year's Eve, personal safety has been emphasized as much as public safety.

The Harris County Precinct 7 Constable's Office confirmed one of its cars was sabotaged. The attack was on a sergeant's take-home marked unit. He noticed a warning light and when he took it in for repair, a county technician discovered someone had intentionally cut the car's anti-lock braking system. Left undetected in an emergency, it could have been disastrous. An investigation is underway.

Additionally, a Harris County Sheriff's Office sergeant believes he was shot at. That officer was working his second job at Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center when he heard a gunshot in the parking lot outside the emergency room. We're told when he went to check it out, he saw a man fire two more shots out of a SUV toward his patrol unit.

This is moving to epidemic proportions, aided and abetted by organized radical groups.

I was thinking the same thing. Not crazy about it.

Slowly, the heat is being turned up. Radical (communist) groups are the front for this administration.

aided and abetted by our FERAL Government.

When in American history have you ever seen an American president make every attempt to destroy the country and people he represents. He is not of this land

Heck, I thought there was a mutiny on board a U.S. Navy ship.

So true. Whether he was born in Hawaii is at this point immaterial.. what matters is how and where he was raised. He doesn’t view issues through an American prism.

After reading the headline, I thought that they fell for the “banana in the tailpipe” trick.

Not a good trend. God Bless our Police.

I don’t believe a “cut” ABS is a hazard. On some vehicles I have disabled the ABS.

Don't know, but one thing is for sure, elements within our own gubbamint seem hell bent on fomenting racial strife, economic hardship, soft tyranny by militarizing LEOs, warrant-less spying on private citizens communications/credit card/medical records, shredding constitutional separation of powers and much more.

Feels like freakin bizarro-world where big brotha gubbamint is all knowing, all seeing and all providing like some sort of damn nanny state.

Scary times.

The one in LA was already discounted.

Anything that happens at this point is being called an “attack”.

If he believes it, it must be true.

Many cops are scared silly at the moment. I can't say I blame them, but being scared leads to bad judgement and poor assessment of situations.
