It now seems that some of the the Minutemen coming to Houston might actually exercise their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. A number have concealed carry permits, and the local organizers will not forbid them to carry their weapons.
I'm not going to get into a discussion of the right to keep and bear arms. I won't discuss whether or not these folks should be carrying weapons when legally authorized to do so.
No, what I want to point out is this glaring lie from an HPD spokesman.
Houston police are aware that some of the Minutemen will be armed, and officers will make sure that all laws are obeyed, said Lt. Robert Manzo, an HPD spokesman.
Well, maybe just by the Minutemen. There will be no enforcement of our nation's immigration laws, nor laws against hiring immigration criminals. That means the border jumpers and those who aid and abet them will get a free pass -- as usual in this sanctuary city.
Stern, so true. But I would think that saving lives by stopping DWI offenders is actually a cost

They are so wrapped up in the politics and PR BS that the line officer is not permitted to do the job that the public expects of them. Enough sais, "Don't get me started". I actually had a supervisor try to slow down my DWI arrest activity because, as he explained it to me, "It cost the taxpayers more than it's worth to go to trial and put them in jail".
