  1. You raise a good point here. It is highly unlikely that this was the first time that Goines framed someone. The Harris County defense bar is probably already reviewing the files of everyone who was convicted based upon the testimony of Goines. Motions to reopen those cases to exclude and/or re-examine the evidence are coming. The costs for that judicial review will be substantial for the the city. Anyone who is exonerated will likely bring a civil action, and those costs could be staggering. Police misconduct in Chicago has resulted in massive liabilities for taxpayers. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/new-wrongful-convictions-could-pressure-chicagos-finances-484458081.html Killing/shooting/incarcerating innocent people is unacceptable. When it happens because a cop lied it’s unconscionable. Regardless of the cost, all of those people are entitled to justice. Hopefully it will include not only compensation for the victims and criminal charges for those responsible, but also reforms that would include at a minimum a reassessment of the use of no-knock warrants and the circumstances under which they can be obtained.
  2. Bet he’s got a ball gag though. Judge probably considered ordering him to wear it, but realized he would like it.
  3. More like an Armenian Buddy Hackett, imho.
  4. So if this "heroin dealer" bullshit was just pure fabrication, then what do y'all think was the true motivation for Goins? Did Tuttle flip him off at a stop light? Did their dog shit in his yard? Did he have the hots for Rhogena Nicholas? Is Goins an addict, and this was just a tragically bizarre result of his impaired judgement? Lying in affidavits and driving around with throw down bags of heroin are pretty good indicators that he's shady as fuck. Is Goins straight-up psycho? Power hungry cop who can't get a boner unless he's in tactical gear? What the fuck was this really all about?
  5. The Bionic Asshole would be a pretty great user name. Just sayin
  6. https://www.click2houston.com/news/investigates/channel-2-investigates-major-questions-raised-about-raid-turned-shootout-after-warrant-reviewed Heads need to fucking roll for this bullshit.
  7. Strom already looks to be in peak mid-season form.
  8. Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot - this is a great film, and Joaquin Phoenix and Jonah Hill were both terrific.
  9. Is it just me, or are those the steepest goddamn bleachers ever? One too many Molsons and one misstep and you could tumble all the way out to the middle of the 55 fucking yardline.
  10. When no-knocks go bad inside the loop in Houston, nothing happens. It's just another suspect dead, dead, dead... Straight outta H-town, lazy motherfucker named Art Acevedo...
  11. These particular cops said that this raid was the end result of a two week operation. Regardless of whether they questioned any neighbors, they damn well should have been able to observe that with their own eyes during that time.
  12. I don't know about all that. But they probably are mostly large.
  13. What about the assholes on here who choose avatars who would never knowingly be associated with them? News flash: those assholes are the worst.
  14. No appreciation for hustle and entrepreneurship. Those 40 subscriptions to Vibe aren't just going to sell themselves.
  15. Currently sitting at 21% on rotten tomatoes, but hey man it’s cool. Whatever floats your boat.
  16. Yeah, Wayne's daughter is Becca. I got the same impression that something happened to her, or that she and Wayne were estranged.
  17. So much stuff to unpack in the next 2 episodes: the derailment of the 1990 investigation, the falling out between Wayne and Roland, the death of Amelia, the estrangement between Wayne and Becca, the resolution (hopefully) of the case once and for all. Hold on to your butts.
  18. Cold Pursuit - terrible Also saw Serenity a couple of weeks ago, and that was double wtf terrible. I give both of these movies the finger.
  19. Fenves pretty much already told PETA to fuck off - Bevo’s staying.
  20. Other than the gray hats, pretty damn sharp.
  21. Officers shot with .357 pistol or rifles and shotguns? “white powdery substance” or cocaine? Still no lab report confirming that “boy” is heroin? No other heroin recovered? No plastic baggies? No other paraphernalia? No surveillance footage or pics from other buys during a 2 week operation? Really??? The controlled buy with the CI was the ONLY drug transaction during a 2 week operation? No statements or testimony from neighbors confirming (or even suspecting) that there was irregular activity at the house? No body camera footage? Sounds like Art has ‘em working in shifts.
  22. No - that was Grant.
