Houston is one screwed up city. That is why people live in the suburbs...better schools, lower taxes, and much better law enforcement.
Who ever takes over after mayor "out-of-town Brown" hopefully will clean house. Remember mayor Brown used to be the police chief, he lowered standards, recruited the wrong people and the Houston PD is still dealing with these challenges. He forced these things on them, as police chief...and his legacy continues as mayor. After Brown was police chief, he left for new york city....screwed that up...and Klinton made him drug czar. He then "returned home" to Houston to run for mayor. And the "educated" voters in Houston just kept electing him....hey they also keep electing that liberal, anti gun, "genius" Sheila Jackson Lee. Saw her and her aids attempt to purchase silencers and class III weapons at the Geo Brown Show....real jerks! Kops wouldn't touch it.
