Not only the city manager (Houston, Katy, etc.) but the JOP in two counties, Texas Highway Patrol and County Sheriff stand between me and my destination.
We’ve got cops everywhere. I still can’t for the life of me understand why we still pay for Constables and Sheriff.
We have as many as FOUR law enforcement agencies prowling the roads and highways looking for revenue and an easy mark. All willing, wanting, ready and able to treat any citizen as a full blown dangerous criminal. Some, I hope, are honorable but many are simply drunk with power and bravado with little brains and big guts.
If they aren’t earning their keep then approach the city manager with a program to cut their numbers.
And somehow the criminals always seem to slip thru them, whats up with that?
