Crime in Houston: Over 260,000 criminal cases suspended due to lack of personnel

5/5 - (3 votes)

Although Texas is still a “red” state, the city of Houston is run by demorats. Houston hasn’t had a republican mayor since 1982. The district attorney for Harris County, Kim Ogg, is a demorat who was backed by George Soros.

Houston’s current demorat mayor, John Whitmire, came into office last December. When he ran for office he stated, “I know how crime impacts our lives. I have instituted groundbreaking reforms reducing prison populations because we can be tough and smart on crime.”

Considering what’s been occuring (or not occuring) in Houston during the past eight years, Mayor Whitmire is going to have a lot of cleaning up to do:

HPD says over 260,000 criminal cases were suspended due to ‘lack of personnel’ over 8 years

From Fox 26:

Houston Police Chief Troy Finner has released some new information regarding criminal cases that were suspended. 

Last week, Finner identified 4,017 cases of alleged sexual assault administratively suspended for “lack of personnel” – investigations essentially kicked to the curb back to 2016.

On Monday afternoon, Houston police released a new statement saying:

“Our review of adult sex crime cases suspended with a code of “lack of personnel” has expanded to include all other divisions in the department found to be using that same code. We have determined that department-wide approximately 264,000 such incident reports since 2016 were suspended with this code. That figure represents about 10% of the 2.8 million incident reports filed with HPD in the past eight years. Of those 264,000 reports, about 100,000 of them are property crimes. Our efforts to review sexual assault incident reports and contact potential victims continue. We are also moving additional personnel to other investigative divisions to address these incident reports involving crimes against persons.”

Last week, Finner said he first became aware sexual assault cases were being suspended for lack of manpower in 2021 and ordered the practice stopped. He says an internal investigation is underway to determine why that explicit command was disobeyed.”

Best to avoid large, demorat-run cities. Between their soft-on-crime district attorneys, progressive policies toward incarceration, and overall lack of functional leadership (especially when is comes to addressing public safety needs), no one is safe in these cities.

Not bad enough yet? Oh I think its way past time and If it was your wife and daughter that was killed and they just let them go.
I think if it was my wife and daughter I would be playing 45 pic up game when the guy got to the street and funny but I would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.45 pic up =230gr hydro shock 45 acp…they don’t have enough personnel to do illegals but plenty to prosecute Americans Double tier Standard of Law….

We are living in a police state right now not full blown but one anyway, and if we lose come November, then it will become a full blown communist police state, like East Germany after WW2. The FBI CIA DEA and the rest of the weaponized alphabet people will be going home to home if you protest what they do. Dan Bongino has a movie out called the Police State and its about here if we lose.

If you get a chance watch the movie and you will find out what we have to look forward too if we lose this election…
Pray God intervenes on our behalf……Good Post DCG

Are we living in a State (there is a difference between the small “s” and the big “S”) that overlooks/ignores law for political favor?

You know we are, just depending on which state your living in red or blue. The closer we get to the election your going to see more violence in the streets than ever before and it will be like last time. They have set a plan in place to steal the election already.
They will let them burn it down if they so please. The powers to be are behind all of it you see what they have been able to Trump. Now think we do not have the same re-sources he has and he is having a hard time. Think what they can do to us. So yup as it gets closer they will do anything to hang on to the power…

Agree. Dems are in a desperate & largely Unconstitutional power grab (since 2016). I’ve recently read discussions addressing some of the things my husband & I have been trying to anticipate as scenarios w/coming election betw Biden/Trump should the Democrat “lawfare” fail against Trump (which it will en masse): 1) Irregularities (once again) in 48 states that do NOT require voter ID. 2) Last-minute replacement of Biden at the Dem convention. This would negate ability of GOP to address issues w/ the Dem nominee. 3) A new Pandemic “lock down” issued from the Biden Admin & his pusillanimous Trans Surgeon General, resulting in ballots galore appearing from far & near & over and over. 4) Hysterical Street demonstrations/ burning/looting without consequence (as in the BLM riots of yore) to prevent a Trump inauguration. 5) Regrettably, some posit a potential Trump Assassination…
