I happen to live right around the corner from where the raid took place, and I have been here for three years. Right there at Westheimer and Dunvale, where there is a Wal-Mart directly across the street. That's where the K-Mart in question is.
FACT: Large amounts of people had been gathering in the K-mart parking lot on late Friday and Saturday nights.
FACT: Residents in the apartment complex had called the police on many occasions over the past months preceding the raid, citing loud music, alcohol consumption, drunken behavior, and vandalism.
FACT: People had also complained to K-Mart store employees, in which, for whatever reason, nothing was done.
FACT: Those arrested, over 200 in number, all claimed to be paying customers of K-Mart and the nearby Sonic.
FACT: However, during the raid, people were seen running to the Sonic in an attempt to evade arrest.
FACT: If the assertion they were all customers were correct, there would be a similar number of people at the Wal-Mart across the street at that time (12:30 am). There was not.
FACT: Charges were dropped against those arrested only at the behest of the acting police chief.
The reason those people were arrested is because they were engaging in criminal behavior, which was the only reason why they were there in the first place.
Stick with what you know, get educated about the rest, or just shut the hell up.
