a few more pieces of the puzzle here … if law enforcement diligently follows the trail - they will probably find a big pile of stinking crazy … but there will be a lot of money saying … go find something else the investigate

I would find it difficult to believe in this day any municipality would allow someone to remain under titular employment for such an extended time without actual duties and under the aegis of their authority.
And Lady Mel.
trump paid $3million in WI to find out he lost by 87 more votes than the first count came up with.
nobody in Texas needs their air conditioner repaired in December
Depends on how expansive your definition of air conditioning is. Our furnace has a massive heat exchanger connected to it that can assist the furnace in cold weather and cool the house in the summer. When we upgraded last year (living in NW WA), it created a major drop in our natural gas bills and a slight increase in our electrical bills. I consider the trade off to be favorable because our primary source of electricity is renewables (hydro, solar, wind - slowly moving more towards solar and wind with battery farm assist).
I don’t know but I’m willing to bet that his union has something to do with his remaining on the force while suspended for years.
To be expected given that we’ve just endured four years of being governed from an alternative dimension devoid of gravity and reason. It’s actually a miracle of sorts that the country still mostly hangs together and largely functions.
Aguirre strikes me as more rational and more intelligent than your average Texas Republican.
Aguirre, Wrath of God
I liked the movie.
Another problem in Texas, apparently. As if we didn’t have enough issues to cement our glowing reputation around the nation /sarcasm.
HPD Chief Art Acevedo suffers no bullshit. Wager he won’t allow his department to be slimed by this. If this schmuck was somehow still receiving pension or bennies following his having been allowed to walk away from the botched 2002 raid?
Watch this space for further developments.

That $211,400 will only go a little ways to paying off the damages from this moron’s soon-to-be-coming civil judgement.
Hopefully he will get enough to retire early, especially if he can tap into the Liberty Center for God and Country. JFK, they deserve to be sued just for having that name.
Actually winter is a better time to get AC fixed if it needs it - you don’t need it while it isn’t working. And it’s cheaper if it isn’t an emergency OMYGOD my AC is out.
“which is led by prominent right-wing activists in the state.”
I wish the article said what state it was.
The photo caption says Houston PD so I am guessing TX although the story itself seemed to have FL written all over it…
I think we’re in a real-life zombie apocalypse!
You gotta be fucking kidding! The last person that I’m aware that made a citizen’s arrest was when Gomer Pyle got Barney Fife for an illegal U-turn. You have to love Trump supporters, they’re all almost as stupid as the Orange Asshole himself. Sad!
It’s hard to be sure if he’s the villain here or the victim.
He was duped. He wasn’t attempting to perpetrate a fraud himself.
Can you value the sincerity of someone who is so very wrong?
What the actual fuck? How many more crazy-ass stories like this are we going to have to suffer through? Thankfully no one got hurt. This time.
ETA: not to answer my own question, but it occurs to me that we’re gonna be dealing with shit like this for years to come. These MAGA’s aren’t going anywhere and they’re going to be pissed that Mad King Donald was ‘robbed’ of his throne.
'Twas sarcasm.
