I lived in that part of Houston for most of the past three years, and the only thing that could have kept me from being arrested in that raid is that I still don't shop at K-Mart because they had hired Rosie O'Donnell.

LOL. Well, I am one of those that has really knocked the police on this one (because they deserve knocking), but your behavior does demonstrate one salient point

Virtue is its own reward.

Those kids (sorry, I think of adults aged 18-23 as kids, much as that would have offended me back when I was that age) shoulda been partying the last weekend of summer vacation at a righteously conservative parking lot -- Wal Mart, or maybe near a Dominos Pizza. Maybe that was the secret hidden agenda of the HPD -- putting it to Rosie and Martha. At least that would make a little sense.

I agree that the police deserve criticism and in some cases punishment. In case my original comments weren't clear, I'm not defending the behavior of these "kids" in the parking lot, and I wouldn't have been among them even when I was that age. However, it would have been very easy for me to be arrested if the police swept the parking lot and took even average citizens who were just shopping. I did much of my shopping in stores along this section of Westheimer. The kids should have been arrested if they were causing a problem. What shouldn't have happened is the police arresting average citizens just trying to do their regular shopping.
