We’re the Only Ones Compensated Enough
Mayor John Whitmire has finalized a contract agreement with the Houston Police Officers’ Union to raise the salary of first-year police officers to $81,000. The agreement, which also includes expanded benefits, will make Houston’s 5,200 police officers the highest-paid in Texas. Previously, officers’ first-year salary was set around $60,000. [More]
That’s a heck of a raise. When’s the last time a private company offered you that kind of increase?
And since this is WarOnGuns, we might ask how Whitmire is on our issue.
He’s fine for expanding them for “Only Ones” to allow armed children on the force. That’s what the citizen disarmament lobby calls them, especially when they want to exclude 18 to 20-year-olds from the Second Amendment, right?

Just what they need: Lori Lightfoot-level competence. Look for homicides to soar.
Hey, maybe she’ll demand a name change!
On the bright side, consider this disaster containment. She won’t be in a position to threaten the greater Republic.

Idiots Prove Idiom
“I don’t want that at home, I don’t even know how to shoot,” said the Houston, Texas, retiree before handing them over to the authorities… “There is really no other safe way than this to part with it,” said the 60-year-old… “We have to get rid of them,” the 69-year-old man said, handing over seven weapons.

As the Lynch Mob Forms
“We must not allow citizens to become judge, jury and executor,” the group, which consisted of Dr. Candice Matthews (Texas Coalition of Black Democrats/Rainbow/PUSH Coalition/New Black Panther Nation), Quanell X (New Black Panther Nation), family members of the deceased and other civil rights organizations, said in a statement.

Abusing the Abuser?
Mother of fatally shot restaurant robber says customer who fired multiple rounds ‘abused’ her son: ‘Why didn’t you stop? … He was dead already … That hurts.’ [More]
I’ve had my own questions about the shoot, but there’s one indisputable truth you just can’t get around: If you don’t want someone to shoot you in self-defense, don’t try to rob them at gunpoint, fake or otherwise.

When in Doubt, Fake It
No Questions Asked!
A felon caught with a gun near the city? No worries– just tell them you were bringing it into the “buyback,” didn’t understand the transport requirements, and you thought it was “No questions asked.”
Speaking of which: Are you a widow with absolutely no gun training so you don’t know how to check if your deceased husband’s gun is loaded, or anything at all about safe handling or transport? Well, come on down!
Any questions?
Hey, uh, everybody knows private sales are legal in Texas, right? Is that a public sidewalk I see in front of 3826 Wheeler?
