What's the name of the tow truck driver, Houmatt? I can't even find what he was quoted as saying. It's on one of the previous threads, but I can't find it. Since it's the cornerpiece of your position, could you post it for us?

Yes, the supervisors spoke to the Chronicle under condition of remaining anonymous. That is a violation of department policy, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are reprimands. They probably are among those officers who are currently suspended from the force.

Of course, there's quite a difference between breaking a department rule, and committing a crime, which is what Captain Aguirre is charged with.

But if you're suggesting that the officers quoted in the Chronicle story were not even there, you have totally lost it. By that line of illogic, how do we even know there was raid? The video could have been faked. Maybe the whole thing never happened.

Get real.

That's because it was part of a radio interview that was never transcribed for FR. But it was on KTRH. Why don't you ask them?

And you are just accepting it without question.

Do you remember James Hatfield's bio of George W. Bush, "Fortunate Son", where he quoted an "unnamed source" stating Bush had a cocaine habit? Remember how it turned out to be a big fat lie?

You see, this is why anonymous sources don't have credibility. As Ronald Reagan said, "Trust, but verify."

And before you say it, I will add even if the tow truck driver did not give his name, he was willing to speak on the radio, making it possible for those who heard his voice to identify him. All you have are anonymous supervisors who claimed to be there, and others who were just critical of Aguirre talking to a newspaper.
