What's the name of the tow truck driver, Houmatt? I can't even find what he was quoted as saying.

That's because it was part of a radio interview that was never transcribed for FR. But it was on KTRH. Why don't you ask them?

But if you're suggesting that the officers quoted in the Chronicle story were not even there, you have totally lost it.

And you are just accepting it without question.

Do you remember James Hatfield's bio of George W. Bush, "Fortunate Son", where he quoted an "unnamed source" stating Bush had a cocaine habit? Remember how it turned out to be a big fat lie?

You see, this is why anonymous sources don't have credibility. As Ronald Reagan said, "Trust, but verify."

And before you say it, I will add even if the tow truck driver did not give his name, he was willing to speak on the radio, making it possible for those who heard his voice to identify him. All you have are anonymous supervisors who claimed to be there, and others who were just critical of Aguirre talking to a newspaper.

Houmatt, a Grand Jury interviewed those supervisors and then issued multiple indictments.

I believe the Houston Chronicle knew who they were talking to. Why would these officers come out like this? Just to get your friend, Captain Aguirre? Did they also hide all the evidence of crimes being committed that night?

Is this your reality? The raid went well, all the right criminals were caught in the act, and then some junior officers decided to lie about what happened in order to get Aguirre in trouble? Is that what you would have us believe?

Did you know that the Houston City Council voted to spend your tax money to get the records of those arrested expunged? I guess they didn't hear your tow truck driver.
