Houston police: 4 officers wounded, 2 of 3 suspects dead

I highly doubt that anyone on this forum would stand for heroin dealing. Lots of crimes need to be dealt with ending in death for the perpetrators.

Evidently they weren’t dealing.

ETA: Ninja’d.

Frankly, even if someone is dealing drugs, I don’t think their door should be blown open and be gunned down in their own home.

I would. 100 years ago, your local heroin dealer was your local pharmacist. All things considered, I'm not convinced the way we currently handle heroin distribution is superior to that model.

Some do, yes, but I don't put dealing in illegal drugs in that category.

I'm glad you welcome dope dealing into your niegborhood. All the junkies wandering around trying to steal you shit to get a fix is fine by me. Where I live I have bridge troll/junkies wandering around day & night. And the sad thing is HPD does nothing to clean it up. Walking my dog @ real late or real early times is very eye opening.

100 years ago junkies didn't have all the liberal support they have these days! My guess junkies didn't live as long either unless they had some crazy fortune to support their lifestyle. I also think 100 years ago people got rid of human waste a bit differently.

Do I think the war on drugs has been a huge cluster ****? Absolutely! We all pretty much know the war is just another revenue generator. I also said in another post I support giving dope fiends all they want for free until they die!

I don't. But I wouldn't mind it if it happened at the local pharmacy.

It wouldn't be fine by me and it wouldn't happen in my neighborhood.

There have always been bad neighborhoods, now and 100 years ago and 1000 years ago. The presence or absence of heroin is a factor in creating them but it's hardly determinative.

Do I think the war on drugs has been a huge cluster ****? Absolutely!

I'm glad we agree on that.

I just think the cost, in dollars, liberty, and social disorder, has been so high that we should stop fighting that particular war.

Don't y'all know that "heroin control" has worked so well that the libtards want to use it as a model for "gun control". After all, there is no heroin available in any of our cities now, is there?

When I was a young MD, long long ago, my first federal drug licenses actually specified: "Marijuana, Heroin, & Cocaine" !

So..if this story keeps rolling the direction that it is now, eventually, Ms Nicolas' mother (the rat) will be splitting a large sum of money with her lawyer huh?

I’m sure some lawyers will make a lot of money. I doubt momma rat gets much of it.

Without the original call slip, is it safe to assume the ‘mother’ referred to is actually ms Nicholas’s mother?

That reporting has been vague from the beginning, as far as I can tell.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

I'm pretty sure that is what I recollect.
Everything I saw said "her mother".

Was reported by HPD to be the mother. It is somewhere in this thread.

 

[BRD@66]

May be only half a word.

 

[toddnjoyce]

My understanding is that HPD reported a mother calling to say her daughter was using in the house, based on an anonymous call.

“The drug probe leading up to the botched bust started on Jan. 8, when officials say an anonymous caller phoned police to complain that her daughter was "doing drugs" inside the Harding Street home.”

Not unlike our current opioid problem? Lets face it we are a bunch of nobodies get fed a bunch of crap from politicians & lobbiest pushing big Pharm products. It's got to the point where big Pharm & cartel are both via for the same huge market & profits!

The government is a bigger threat to individual liberty than any random drug dealer. If a drug dealer or user tries to violate someone's rights we are able to use force to stop it. When the government is the one that violates your rights it is frowned upon to use force against them.

Somewhere in this thread the is a quote from a press release or related news report that ID'd the called as the mother.

Probably about as reliable as the original version of the shooting. Maybe having the same source (HPD) is the cause? It's called CYA anyway you can and they are running out of things to say.

If the caller was the mother, her daughter was in fact inside the house. Not too hard to see the connection.

But, was she doing drugs.

There were questions yesterday as to whether the drugs actually found in the house (pot, white powder) were planted or not.

 

[AustinN4]

The mother was doing drugs also? Now that is screwed!

Edited to add: There is no evidence of the above whatsoever. I was just mess'in with cam.
