Officer Rodney Johnson, HPD.
The Mexican government will whine, beg and criticize as the execution date draws near.
Texas will execute him anyway.
But if the borders were being properly controlled, Officer Johnson would likely be alive today.
Along with several others who have been killed by illegal scum.
Just like Bush they are hard working people just here to do
the work ordinary Americans refuse to do. Hes right I would
certainly refuse to shoot a police officer in the head four times.
Too bad there arent any politicians who care about this.

And this--probably an illegal too:

"Since 1992, the police department has barred officers from asking people who aren't under arrest about their immigration status. The order also prohibits them from arresting people solely based on suspicion that they are in the country illegally. Police do check the immigration status of those arrested on Class B misdemeanor or more serious charges."
And I thought they were smarter than that in Houston.
Can we now take care of the "living" part? Huh? Huh?

Uh hello, one of your fellow officers just got his head blown off by an illegal. You knew for a long time now that the feds weren't doing their job in securing the border. How about your department taking matters into its own hands, Mr. Hurtt, and do what's morally right?
Hey brainiac - If illegals know that all they have to do is make it to a sancuary city (and Houston is less than 300 miles from the border as the crow flies) and they are home free, then what difference does it make what the federal policy is?
Now, I agree that the federal government is to blame for this crisis, but still . . .
This is one of the issues that needs to get out there- I know we try, but it seems no one is listening.
Of course illegal criminals come from Mexico and other places in large numbers; if being a criminal was your occupation it would only make sense to come to the US. After all with the "hands off" policy many LEOs in the US have toward illegals, your odds of getting caught are much less than in your home country, and if you are caught our jails are much nicer.
It really gripes me that illegals get a pass on things like false documents, identity theft, vehicle registration and insurance. In many places they are treated lighter than citizens on things like DWI and other offenses.
In Maricopa county in Arizona they actually had two seperate court systems set up- one for minorities (mostly illegals) and one for others. The court for minorities was giving lighter sentences for DWI and lesser fines than the court for the others. Others would be US citizens, mostly caucasian. I know about 6 months ago there was a fuss raised about that system- but don't know if they did away with it or not.
Shelley Sekula-Gibbs Ping!
She's been down to a South Texas border watch.
How about a wrongful death suit against the city and the local politicos who put the sanctuary policy in place, the federal govt, and the Govt of Mexico?
Hit them where it hurts.
Laws are only as good as the people enforcing them. The police should do it anyway. Yall can't fire all of them if they stand together.
Officer Rodney Johnson, HPD.
"U.S. Rep John Culberson, R-Houston, reminded the public Monday of his efforts to cut off federal law-enforcement funds to the Houston Police Department if it refused to change its "sanctuary policy.""
God bless him!
