Welcome to Houston, where naked men punch motorcycle cops in the face:
A number of Houston police officers responded to an incident where an officer was involved in a physical altercation with a suspect Tuesday afternoon.
The officer was initially called to a strip center at Heights Boulevard and I-10 where a man was reportedly walking around without any clothes on.
The officer arrived on scene, approached the man and ordered him to get on the ground. The suspect got down, but then got back on his feet and struck the officer in the mouth.
A wrecker driver saw the confrontation and pulled over to assist. “Guy was steadily hitting a police officer in the face and the officer had blood all over him,” he said. “So I jumped out of the wrecker and pushed the guy off of the officer. He was barely conscious on his feet. That naked guy had hit him several times hard in the face.”
An off-duty officer then arrived on the scene and Tasered the suspect who, according to police, appeared to be high on drugs.
A wildman gets naked and punches a motorcycle cop in the face repeatedly, and the first thing people blame is “drugs.”
Whatever happened to blaming Bush for everything?
Here’s the line that makes me proud of my town:
“What’s amazing, there were a bunch of citizens standing around and nobody was helping the officer at all,” the wrecker driver said.
Having lived in this city for eighteen years, I’m confused as to why the wrecker driver found that amazing.
I’d think they’d be placing bets or calling dibs on who got to fight the naked guy next.
I’m kinda glad Rodney King wasn’t involved.
shudder
cage match comes next
I don’t know about bets or dibs. Where’s a good full auto paint ball gun when you need one!
So when will the rioting start if the Policeman is not jailed immediately for assaulting the honest citzens fists with his face?
NO JUSTICE NO PEACE! NO JUSTICE NO PEACE!
“The officer was initially called to a strip center at Heights Boulevard and I-10 where a man was reportedly walking around without any clothes on.”
I can see where a guy could get confused.
If it was called a ‘Fully Clothed Center’ there would be no problem.
I’d think they’d be placing bets or calling dibs on who got to fight the naked guy next.
Neither of us wants to think about what the bystanders would be doing if this had happened in San Francisco.
Where do you find this stuff?!?!
Doesn’t everyone carry guns in Texas or is Houston like a liberal bubble or something?
My first thought was, there are cops in Houston?
Then I wondered what the 5-0’s problem is with the human body.
Then, when the trucker went to help, I thought he was going to help the naked druggie beat up the cop.
Things are going down the drain over there. I need to move back and clean the place up a bit.
