And what would be the reason for that?
TXI? Is that short for something? I didn’t find that username.
Money...supposedly.
Most uniformed officers were supposed to be issued BWC's. The city didn't have enough money to issue a camera to each officer, so they issued a set to each station. You check out a camera and turn it in at the end of the shift. Investigators, detectives, most people that work in plain clothes aren't required to wear a BWC under the current rules.
The undercover guys definitely didn't wear them even when running warrants. That's all about to change now. The cameras are junk BTW, another low bid city item. The batteries don't last the entire shift, buts that's another issue.

Bad cop had smack in his console
Texas investigator iirc
This.
I thought I heard something about this in Artholes press conference, I thought it might have been the pot and coke they "found" during the raid.
He quickly went on to another reporter.
ETA: The word "been".

My bet is they're extremely hesitant to release it. Why? Because the dead woman was 58 years old, my guess is the mother is around 90 and most likely obviously senile.
Did this couple not have kids?

His username is "txinvestigator".
He was sufficiently tough in his approach to conversation that he could be off-putting...and that's putting it nicely. However, he never pulled talking points out of his butt. Even people who found him infuriating had to admit that 99% of the time he was intellectually honest and 100% of the time he brought verifiable facts to any argument. It was possible to have philosophical differences of opinion with him and argue to a mutual and courteous "We'll just have to agree to disagree" but I don't think I ever saw anyone outright win an argument with him. He was that good.
It didn't matter if you didn't like his personal style; you'd still respect the guy.
IMO, this thread would have been 1000% better if he were contributing. My PS a few posts back merely reflected that opinion.
I did a few times by presenting information that he couldn't repudiate. Then, he would never respond to the thread again. Lol.
He was one of my favorite posters and I learned a lot from him in the beginning. When I came back to the forum I was disappointed to find him and some others (Tejano Scott, etc) replaced by Fudds.
You are correct. Thank you for jogging my memory. I remember him dropping out of some threads when things didn't go his way but I did not remember the specifics of who was talking at the time.
Whether you win or lose, though, it's awfully nice to remember a time when arguments were intellectually honest throwdowns of facts vs. facts, isn't it?
I have successfully engaged in debates with him on some of the finer points of the law when discussing the some of the more ambiguous points of the Texas Occupations Code. Sometimes contentiously, lol.
When it came to presenting facts on the Government Code and Texas Penal Code he was only very rarely wrong.
If you are going to challenge him, have your facts ready, have back ups to those facts, and have pertinent case law to back those up.
He wil.
And more information is slowly finding its way to the light of day:

There will be a flood of appeals on any case the officer was involved with......
With all his past, it difficult not to believe other officers knew or were suspicious but protected him.....Public perception of this will not "just go away".....
Integrity is always doing the "right " thing even when no one is looking.........
