Yeah, I agree that an administration that fosters down improper methods and allows unacceptable tactics can cause a department to become rotten overall.Liberty wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2019 11:29 amThe so many issues we are seeing today are not the tiny minority of miscreant officers, but the administrators and agencies themselves. The issues of revealed about the shooting of the Houston couple isn't just about the one renegade co, but of the coverup by the chief, how could Goines continue his blatant behaviour for so long. It's hard to believe that his activities weren't widely known.Keith B wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2019 9:17 amThe major majority of police officers are good people and do the right thing. It's the 1-2% that push the edge or outright break the law, get caught and are publicly outed that cause a skewed view of law enforcement in people today.Papa_Tiger wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2019 8:56 am
Unless I know the police officer personally, I wouldn't trust him/her any farther than I could throw him/her, and that is a sad state of affairs indeed.
Everyone needs to be careful and don't violate the rules by generalized bashing of law enforcement in comments.

If he had been her father, then there would have been no crime committed. A minor can drink with their parents in Texas.Pawpaw wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 2:09 pmActually, a crime was committed... by agent Jergins when he handed the beer to the minor.Scott B. wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 2:01 pm In short, TABC agent screwed the pooch. Classic bar sting, agency brings in under age, young looking girl/guy (female in this case) and tries to get them served.
Catch was 1) it's on good quality video, and 2) the bartender checked her ID, noted that she was underage. Asks the older male (agent) next to her if he was her father, she indicates yes. Hands the beer to the male who then legally hands it to his 'daughter'. No crime committed, 3) defense lawyer was drooling at the opportunity to expose a little TABC abuse and struck gold.
Not the first time TABC has stepped in it.
A year in jail and a $4,000 fine sounds like a good start.
