This explains a lot for me–
“Does the Liberty Center endorse that?” ABC13 reporter Jessica Willey asked Jared Woodfill, the attorney for Dr. Steven Hotze, the president of the right-leaning Liberty Center.
Complete asshole. So complete, he’s north of both Dan Patrick and Ted Cruz on the scale. So detestable he stopped running for office. No one would vote for him. He is the gold-standard of intolerant fundie witchburners.
Hotze has been playing fundie games in metro Houston-- demagoguing on the fringe of religious extremism for decades.

Just occurred to me-- IIRC? That raid was to try to corral street racers at a popular meeting spot-- a K-Mart parking lot. He had this massive vehicular raid staged-- and scooped up over 100 people and vehicles. Held them under arrest for hours in the lot. Unfortunately for him? About half were just shoppers. Mass civil rights violations. Oops.
Lost his 24 year HPD career.
Guess he never learned.
