Seems the NO BILL grand jury decision on Joe Horn was the last straw for Congresswoman Jackson Lee who has called for congressional hearings regarding Justice in Harris County.
As I assume is true to most large cities, the city of Houston has a large minority population with Democratic control, but it is the surrounding county which dispenses justice in a very white and very Republican manner. In fact there are no Democrat judges in Harris County. The District Attorney office and Texas state elected offices are 100% Republican. Texas Republicans, which means they are very WHITE, very beholding to very intolerant religious beliefs and about very racist.
An example of this city/county disconnect can be explained by Rep Lee being the most respected politician in the City of Houston, while in Harris County they would like to see her take just one little baby step onto a corner of Joe Horn’s front yard.
The grand Jury that No Billed Joe Horn for shooting two unarmed men in the back not only works secretly but the members are chosen in secret though it is no secret that these grand juries are picked by conservative Republicans from a pool of conservative Republicans. Though it cannot be said jurors are all white, it’s a safe bet that jurors are all white other than a few token very conservative Blacks and Hispanics. It is the nature of the Beast.
The investigation into Harris County DA Chuck Rosenthal over sexual email ended with his being forced out of office for being a racist and running a racist department of justice. Nothing really new about that other than they got caught in email. Chuck Rosenthal funny email. Republican Houston DA Chuck Rosenthal’s Racist and Sexist email
This has been further exacerbated by Pasadena, Texas looking for a new Police Chief with the many of the fine people there wanting to draft Joe Horn for the job. You know, have a Police Chief who has no problem AT ALL shooting unarmed African Americans and Hispanics in the back. Makes ya proud to be from Texas… Here is the picture from the near white riot in front of Joe Horn’s home. As you can see from the gentleman on the right it is not about race.
