Re: 5 Officers Shot In Houston - Pray

I feel like I need to change the title. It is misleading for sure after the facts came out. I guess prayer never hurt.

Look into his employment history. Been fired numerous times for incompetency.
My apologies, he was always "offered better a job elsewhere" since you can't really fire a chief. Everywhere he goes, he leaves a steaming pile behind.
It is not hard to make a conclusion.

I hear he hasn't "helped" in Dallas yet. Maybe he will get "a lucrative job offer" there? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
(sorry, Dallasians!)

As for the drug bust, it really was a fiasco. Isn't that what the SWAT team is for? This sounded like a suicide mission from the beginning. *facepalm*
Those officers didn't deserve that.
He makes Renee Hall look like Alfred Einsteen.

I worked undercover narcotics for 10 years. If it was a “drug house” I would have expected the same plus multiple buys before a raid.

Not enough true information known at this point, but there are a lot of questions. I sure hope there is not a cover up.

It seems like a bad idea to approve a search warrant based on the testimony/information of a person
whose identity and veracity is unknown.
Bill a lot of times a CI (confidential informant) is usually someone trying to work off charges against them. They agree to turn on who they were getting drugs from so their charges are dismissed. That is. Ormall the story of a CI. Sometimes it could be someone who is just sick and tired of seeing bad and agrees to go undercover to make buys.

I had a CI that I worked with that started off to have his charges dismissed, but eventually just kept working because he really did have a change of heart and seen how the drugs destroyed his family and others.

I understood a dozen uncover officers plus uniformed officers.
