Look, here is my bottom line: I'm tired.

I am tired of you practically twisting my arm in an attempt to get me to admit to something that I know to be untrue.

You have deliberately chosen not to look at the whole picture (hell, you did not even acknowledge the latter part of post #224) just so you can condemn and crucify the Houston Police Department for doing their g*ddamn job.

Now, if you actually believe I am ever going to lie to others and myself about what happened on September 18, and why, you can rest assured: Hell will freeze over first.

No, you still don't get it. I'm only asking you to pledge to admit your mistake if "what you know to be untrue" actually turns out to be true. If you are so sure that you are right, then why is that an unreasonable request? You risk nothing.

You have deliberately chosen not to look at the whole picture (hell, you did not even acknowledge the latter part of post #224) just so you can condemn and crucify the Houston Police Department for doing their g*ddamn job.

I responded to every part of your post #224. If you don't believe that, then you must be reading a version that I can't see. If you'll point out what part you believe I missed, I'll repost my response to it.

But, arresting people who have not committed any crime is not "doing their g*ddamn job". Had the HPD arrested only people that actually committed crimes, I would be in vehement agreement with you. But, I don't believe that to be true. I know that you don't, but I'm willing to accept the judgment of the Harris County courts. Are you?

Now, if you actually believe I am ever going to lie to others and myself about what happened on September 18, and why, you can rest assured: Hell will freeze over first.

I presume that you mean August 18. But, what are you going to do if the HPD administration fires and/or reprimands any officers involved in the raid, or if the Harris County courts dismisses the charges or acquits any of those arrested for criminal trespass? Will you still be claiming that the HPD did nothing wrong? If so, who will you be lying to, then?
