10 mph over the speed limit is running ‘afoul’ of the law.

Agreed! But thanks to the corrupt “judical system” in Waco, we still don’t really know what happened that day. Furthermore, mass arrests without any basis, are antithetical to this country and it’s Constitution. The idea that a government entity can deprive 117 individuals of their liberty without specific charges is gestapo-like.
But even in Waco, the truth will eventually come out. And that’s why Reyna has been dragging his feet, because when the truth does finally come out, he’s headed for disbarrment at the minimum, and being charged with abuse under color of authority more likely. Solving crimes with criminal activity on the part of prosecutors may be o.k. in Texas, but it sure as hell isn’t Constitutional. Reyna is like a cat trying tocover a 15 inch turd! I hope in the end, that the “good citizens of Waco” will face a multi-million dollar payout that really hurts. Then maybe they will choose their public officials more carefully!
