The last one was at Tianamen Square.

See #201, especially the last paragraph.

You are taking a very extreme position while accusing everyone of the same thing. You don't think anything went wrong in these raids, which makes you just about the only person in Houston with that opinion.

This is all about a police department that decided to use indiscriminate mass arrests in an effort to terrorize people and prevent them from congregating in public. You don't have a problem with that because you don't want these people to get together in your neighborhood.

I understand that. I wouldn't want them a couple of blocks from my house, either. But there are legal ways to deter that, and there are illegal ways. There are ways to prevent police harrassment of those people who are out in public minding their own business and obeying the laws.

You are in complete and utter denial of the police misconduct in this situation, and you are going to be very surprised when you, as a Houston taxpayer, is going to be required to pay untold millions of dollars in lawsuit awards.

I wish there was a way to bill those awards only to Houston citizens who don't think anything wrong occurred here.
