Apparently, K-Mart should have just armed their checkout clerks and sent them out to clear the trespassers.

Did you read the article? Here's some snippets for you, so you don't have to strain yourself reading the whole thing.

A crowd of angry teenagers and their parents accused police Sunday of arresting many innocent bystanders

The Kmart store is open 24 hours a day, and many of the people at the HPD station at 61 Reisner said Sunday that they had simply been shopping or eating at a Sonic drive-in restaurant that adjoins the discount store's parking lot when they were arrested.

Emily Demmler, 19, said: "All I was doing was eating ice cream."

... all the patrons at the Sonic were ordered by police to march to the Kmart, where they joined throngs of other people who were being arrested

"...It didn't matter what you were doing; they arrested you."

"They even arrested a 10-year-old girl who was having dinner with her father...

he showed police a receipt for bottled water from Kmart, but he was still arrested.

Now, remind me, which laws were these fine men-in-blue enforcing?

Crime is out of control in Houston under Mayor Brown and he spends the Houston Police resources persecuting young kids regardless if the are law abiding or not. When Brown was the Chief of Police under Kathy Withmare Houston was the crime capital of the U.S. Now Brown is trying to break his previous record of incompetence.
