Duty Vs Rights

by Ron on September 13, 2004 · 0 comments

Sunday our church had a special service to honor our local firefighters. Our minister gave a short sermon and one line really stood out to me. “We here a lot about rights, but not much about duty”.

Arrest Quota

by Ron on June 21, 2004 · 0 comments

Seems that cops in Houston are now going to have to make a quota of arrests. This is trouble. It should be pointed out having ticket writing quotas is bad, but arrest quotas is worse. The consequences for getting a ticket are much worse than being arrested. If a CHL holder gets arrested - not [...]
