Holmes was forced to resign. after having been charged with allegedly engaging in a quip for quo plot to have felony charges dismissed against his benefactor, Jon Lindsay.<br /><br />While, it's reported that Travis County has employed a system "Freedom Cities ordinance" that has restricted some class C misdemeanor from arrest, it does not fully address a arbitrary racist system, it is a start. Major obstacles to fully addressing the problems can be laid at the feet of the law enforcement communities and their unconstitutional unions.<br /><br />Conversely, in ongoing suits in Harris and Galveston Counties, which address similar matters of overhauling the highly restrictive bail systems, their efforts only touches part of the problems. In Harris County O'Donnell's costly three-year old bail bonding case, at this point, are estimated at $6,852,087.30. My question: What were the overall cost of Travis County's "Freedom Cities ordinance??"<br /><br />We can do better, at less cost.Gunny Thompsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-88518888003610421582019-11-06T04:43:46.125-06:002019-11-06T04:43:46.125-06:00In the 1980s, Henry Wade was using probation as a ...In the 1980s, Henry Wade was using probation as a means of getting high school students into the system so other related cases could be "cleared" by attaching them to a kid who just plead guilty to something he/she didn't do. This process was usually applied to Black and Hispanic boys aged 17 or 18 rounded up in the vicinity of a crime and given the the standard plea bargain pitch, "You can sit in jail for six months and wait for trial where you'll get 20 years or you can plead guilty to this charge and I'll have you on the street in three days." Most of the kids charged this way were sent to prison in less than six months for crimes they didn't commit. Just and observation of the goings on in Dallas County when I was there.
