Drag-racing sting gone awry divides Houston police

The Washington Times ^ | 10/9/2002 | Drag-racing sting gone awry divides Houston police

The police chief might go to prison for perjury. The captain who led the raid might eventually be fired. Twelve other officers have been relieved of duty. And the city faces millions in potential legal costs.

The 5,300-man Houston Police Department is in turmoil, many aligning themselves behind either Capt. Mark Aguirre or Police Chief Clarence Bradford.

Looks like this one made the big time.

We haven't heard the last of this by a long shot. Quanelle X and the Nation of Islam are packing the courtrooms for the proceedings against Bradford.

I fully expect criminal charges for the KMart raid to be filed against Aguirre, which will undoubtedly bring out LULAC and other leftist hispanic activist groups.

Then there's the actual legal liability of the city for the PD's actions...

When I first read about this clusterf**k I knew that the folks in this town were gonna need a house cleaning of the command staff of the PD that resembles a Stalinist purge.
The financial blowback is gonna be something that resembles a nuclear blast up close & personal.

Dog Gone, Dark Wing - your local law enforcement got to national news along with the guy in my state whose home was nuked to charred concrete pad by fumigators!
