At this point, it would be hard to not see Bradford's attitude toward Aguirre and the K-Mart raid as rather suspect.

Bradford blew it by making such a flat assertion under oath.

He should have said "I don't ever recall using such profanity. It is against my beliefs to behave in such a manner."

Or, "I did not have profane words with that man, Mr. Aguirre."

I thought lying under oath has been perfectly legal since 1998.

I don't like this guy all that much, but this whole thing is a joke and pure politics. He probably just didn't remember the profanity. I doubt that I could remember every word I used in a conversation that goes back quite a while. Can't believe they are going to destroy this guy over something so damn silly.

This is such a ticky-tac thing! The question must be asked, who did Bradford offend?

[unbiasedtruth]

Houston Police Chief C.O. Bradford was indicted Friday on allegations of lying under oath...

After Clinton, I thought lying under oath was no big deal. I guess it's only okay to lie about sex and not weather you used profanity.

"We'll be open to any suggestions his attorneys make." Rosenthal said. "And we'll consider everything in this case. The earmarks of this case look to me like it will have to be resolved by a trial. Certainly if we can resolve it by something other than trial that's fine with me."

This Rosenthal guy doesn't sound like a prosecuting attorney to me. In fact, he talks as if he's pre-disposed to favor the defendant.

How do we know he didn't say niggardly?

"HPD's chief is indicted"

I read the headline and thought H was for Honolulu. Book 'em Dan-o!

From what I have read Aguire is not very popular. A subordinate of his was the original complaintant, but this is blown out of proportion. I recall once years ago when I had been robbed, while the police officer was there I discovered I was missing not only the wheels from my car, but speakers from my truck as well. Well I became rather agitated and began cursing the dirtbags who robbed me. As you can imagine I used some rather colorful language, and the officer was uncomfortable and chided me on my outburst. I also had to pratically beg him to take fingerprints.

Had it not been for the complete stupidy of the juvinile thieves bragging of thier misdeeds at school I would not have got my stuff back.

What difference does it make that Bradford did not like Aguirre? Aguirre ran the K-Mart raid, and he's responsible for what happened that night.

I'm sure Bradford was more than willing to let Aguirre take the brunt of the criticism, and maybe Bradford knew more about the planned raid than he admits, but it doesn't change what happened.

I hope Bradford is convicted of perjury and is run out of town. He refuses to cooperate with the Justice Department in identifying people who are in the country illegally. He's a fool, a liberal, and a liar. Good riddance.

Houston Chief on the map again. His K-Mart and Sonic Burger arrests need to put him in jail. This guy is crook against America if there ever was one.

OMG! Bradford used a DIRTY word???

I'm old enough to remember my son saying his high school football coach used profanity..... OH HORRORS!!!!!!!

[HiTech RedNeck]

after being duly sworn, (Bradford) did, under oath, make a false statement ... that he had not called subordinates names in meetings

"But... but... they weren't names! they were terms of affection! I use the 'motherf-----' word with my best friends!"
