I understand you are now Twice as Nice? How bout a DOUBLE DOSE of Karma? Then, it can be twice as nice for your pleasure. How many times did Shelly Amaya and Jennifer Shearer &quot;go at it&quot; while at work or did she keep that strap on thing in her pants?How bout a sex offender sign in your front yard and in front of your establishment? Some say Karma is a bitch and a bitch you and your pleasured Nueces County Jailers deserve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;a href=&quot;rtsp://v3.cache6.googlevideo.com/ChoLENy73wIaEQlJ-b_LnvVqihMYDSANFEgDDA==/0/0/0/video.3gp&quot; type=&quot;video/3gpp&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;video&quot; src=&quot;http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app=blogger&amp;amp;contentid=8a6af59ecbbff949&amp;amp;offsetms=5000&amp;amp;itag=w160&amp;amp;sigh=-K9WZ9k9O9ICiPhuJ1FC8Vo61Wc&quot; class=&quot;BLOG_mobile_video_class&quot; id=&quot;BLOG_mobile_video-8a6af59ecbbff949&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jennifer Shearer is still employed as a Nueces County Deputy Officer. How can that be unless she falsified government records and failed to mention her participation / complicity in the sexual assault. Dont worry her picture is going out next. Pass the word to Shearer and then let her know that Dora et al is not like Nueces County Sheriff Jim Kaelin, Dora et al saves the video tapes. Those cost a lot more than fifty bucks and the Judge along with a &quot;few good men&quot; already have been furnished a copy. She said you that you could last forever with that huge phallic package. Unzip your pants and let us all have a look! After all no man could match you? Dont worry Dora said you &quot;went at it&quot; like the depraved warped man you are. Now lets compete man to man, I challenge You Jennifer Shearer to a PISSING contest and I will even allow you a &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;head&lt;/span&gt; start pardon the pun. Can you piss on a fire. Like Nelly says in his song, &quot;It&#39;s getting hot in here so take off all your clothes&quot; and lets witness pathetic little you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jennifer Shearer then begins to follow us. We pull over and let her pass then behind her as she then turns so as to reposition herself behind us. We see a CCPD Car and approach to document the actions of Shelly Amaya&#39;s accomplice. Well, somehow the officer accuses us of following when in fact it was the other way around. My question is how can we be following Shearer when in fact Shearer is behind us and as the video demonstrates Shearer was the one stalking us. Me thinks the Female Officer and Jennifer Shearer are pals in an off duty capacity; they sure were buddied up during this event. The end result was the CCPD Officer impounded my car despite having insurance and we were not on a public thoroughfare. This is just the tip of the iceberg!&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;a href=&quot;rtsp://v2.cache8.googlevideo.com/ChoLENy73wIaEQmC5vGa0gJm4BMYDSANFEgDDA==/0/0/0/video.3gp&quot; type=&quot;video/3gpp&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;video&quot; src=&quot;http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app=blogger&amp;amp;contentid=e06602d29af1e682&amp;amp;offsetms=5000&amp;amp;itag=w160&amp;amp;sigh=0lAb4KQSvp7uin1myx7OQsGvvFg&quot; class=&quot;BLOG_mobile_video_class&quot; id=&quot;BLOG_mobile_video-e06602d29af1e682&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey Balderas, how do you like it when &quot;she gets to stick her fingers in you&quot;? Who made that policy was it you punk?? Everyone, now it is your turn to get gang raped, invaded in your own home because you are a UFO? That means you f&#39;n owe. Thats what happens when a crooked judge makes a stroke of the pen because of a unpaid fine that was unpayable because he wanted to confine us for a class c misdemeanor punishable by fine only and NOT BY CONFINEMENT. But then again you already knew that You Cox sucker! So like my fair weather friend Johnny Canales always exclaimed on his show, &quot;ESSO,......

Oh yeah and a bunch of male Nueces County Deputy Correction Officers watching Amaya as she tore the clothes off, slammed the inmate on the floor and proceeded to mount the inmate and insert her fingers into the inmates&#39; vagina. Finally one officer removed the Jailer as she was bold enough to admit &quot;she said, &quot;that&#39;s right I did say I was going to get to stick my fingers in you&quot; and Colonel Jessup would be proud of the spirit she said it in! You know how he was proud of admitting as if he were bragging?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Jessup: &quot;What&#39;s going on? I did my job, I&#39;d do it again!&lt;br /&gt;[stands up defiantly]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kaffie: we have to get Jessup to tell the court members that he ordered the code red.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think he wants to say it. I think he&#39;s pissed off that he has to hide behind all this. I think he wants to say that he made a command decision and that should be then end of it.&lt;br /&gt;[Starts imitating Jessup]&lt;br /&gt;Kaffee: He eats breakfast 300 yards away from 4000 Cubans who are trained to kill him. And nobody&#39;s going to tell him how to run his unit least of all the Harvard mouth in his faggoty white uniform. I need to shake him, put him on the defensive and lead him right where he&#39;s dying to go.&lt;b&gt;There is nothing on this earth sexier, believe me, gentlemen, than a woman you have to salute in the morning. Promote &#39;em all, I say, &#39;cause this is true: if you haven&#39;t gotten a blowjob from a superior officer, well, you&#39;re just letting the best in life pass you by.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kaffee: *Colonel Jessep, did you order the Code Red?*&lt;br /&gt;Judge Randolph: You *don&#39;t* have to answer that question!&lt;br /&gt;Col. Jessep: I&#39;ll answer the question!&lt;br /&gt;[to Kaffee]&lt;br /&gt;Col. Jessep: You want answers?&lt;br /&gt;Kaffee: I think I&#39;m entitled.&lt;br /&gt;Col. Jessep: *You want answers?*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Kaffee: *I want the truth!*&lt;br /&gt;Col. Jessep: *You can&#39;t handle the truth!*&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[pauses]&lt;br /&gt;Col. Jessep: Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who&#39;s gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago&#39;s death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don&#39;t want the truth because deep down in places you don&#39;t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don&#39;t give a damn what you think you are entitled to.&lt;br /&gt;Kaffee: Did you order the Code Red?&lt;br /&gt;Col. Jessep: I did the job I...&lt;br /&gt;Kaffee: *Did you order the Code Red?*&lt;br /&gt;Col. Jessep: *You&#39;re Goddamn right I did!* &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the inmate repeatedly dared Shelly Amaya to admit that she had already said she was going to stick her fingers in the inmate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said it and the male member of the Nueces County Jailer Audience pulled Shelly Amaya from on top of the naked inmate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do they answer and say the videotape footage is destroyed?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Surely they would use it to vindicate themselves?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heck,..... wouldnt that put and end to these allegations?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jay Worthington conducting an internal affairs investigation? Yep, he is definitely worthless and Mike Lowrance well lets just say since it is not his wife who endured the sexual acts and it is Nueces County Sheriff Jim Kaelin who is his &quot;dom&quot; and it is Nueces County Sheriff&#39;s department from who he receives his authority and paycheck; who knows karma is life giving you back what you give, dish out and / or deserve I just pray Karma gives it to him and not his spouse. Yeah they are all little bitches,.... where is Bubba when we need him?</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml'

funds.</title><content type='html'>EI 10: Improve Collection of State Employee Debt&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Improve the collection of debt owed the state by its employees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Background&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    One subset of debt due the state is the amount owed by state employees. The Comptroller&#39;s warrant hold program reports that 10,343 state employees owed the state $44.3 million as of June 1996.[1] (Exhibit 1.) Currently, $28.3 million, or 63.9 percent, is owed through student loan programs. The Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation (TGSLC), which administers the federal guaranteed student loan program in Texas, is owed the largest proportion ($25.5 million, or 57.6 percent, of the total amount).[2] The debt held by TGSLC may be reinsured by the federal government. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board&#39;s (THECB) Hinson-Hazelwood student loan program is owed $2.7 million, or 6.1 percent of the total amount.[3] Another $13.6 million (30.7 percent) is owed to the Attorney General for child support payments, while the remaining $2.4 million (5.5 percent) is due to the Comptroller&#39;s office for delinquent taxes and the Texas Workforce Commission for unemployment tax liability.[4]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;   Exhibit 1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    State Debt Owed by State Employees, June 1996&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Source: Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Warrant holds&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The Comptroller&#39;s warrant hold program offers all state agencies a tool to collect outstanding debts. Fifty-two agencies currently participate. The warrant hold program applies only to non-salary payments and is fairly simple. An agency sends the Comptroller&#39;s office a request to participate in the program. The Comptroller&#39;s Claims Division asks the agency to identify the source of debt owed the state. The agency submits identification numbers for the debtors (either individuals or organizations) to the Claims Division. From then on, as the Comptroller&#39;s office prepares warrants, the debtors&#39; identification numbers are electronically checked against the prepared warrants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    If a state employee to whom a warrant is made payable owes money to an agency participating in the program, the warrant is held by the Comptroller&#39;s office, and the agency on whose behalf the warrant was printed is notified that the individual will not receive the warrant. The employee is notified of the withheld warrant, the outstanding debt amount, and the amount of the warrant withheld. If the warrant is to be released, the employee must contact the agency owed and agree upon a payment plan. The agency holding the debt then must contact the Comptroller&#39;s office to release the warrant. The agency may choose to collect on a certain portion of the debt before the warrant is released, or to release the warrant as soon as a payment agreement is reached.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    If a state employee owes delinquent taxes to the Comptroller&#39;s office, the Government Code SS403.055(g) gives the Comptroller the authority to apply the warrant to the total amount that individual owes the state. Taxes can be offset--applying the warrant to the delinquent debt--by warrants other than salary. Taxes and other debts to the state may also be offset by lottery winnings, as authorized by the Government Code SS466.407.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Wage garnishment&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    In addition to warrant hold, the state also may collect debts through garnishment, a process by which part of an involuntary deduction is made from an individual&#39;s wages to repay a debt. Wage garnishment is a severe measure and one that is used only rarely. Under present law, Texas may garnish current wages for only two forms of debt: child support payments and student loans. The Texas Constitution specifically prohibits garnishment except in court-ordered child support cases, but federal law has superseded the constitution in the case of student loan repayment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The Texas Supreme Court ruled in Orange County, Texas v. Ware, a 1991 decision, that the Texas constitutional prohibition against garnishment of current wages does not apply to an employer&#39;s withholding of an employee&#39;s compensation until the employee&#39;s debt to the employer is paid. The Court ruled that a garnishment occurs only when three parties are involved: the employer, the employee, and the third party creditor. Thus, holding a state employee&#39;s paycheck because the employee is indebted to the state would not appear to be an unconstitutional garnishment. It might be possible for the state to hold a salary payment if the applicable laws were changed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Child support enforcement&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Enactment of the federal Child Support Enforcement Act (P.L. 93-647) in 1975 strengthened the public&#39;s commitment to address the problem of nonsupport of children, with program administration left to the states. This commitment was further enhanced by the Family Support Act of 1988 (P.L. 100-485) which required states to impose wage withholding on the noncustodial parent in all new or modified child support enforcement program cases. As of January 1, 1994, states were required to provide for immediate wage withholding for all support orders issued, regardless of whether a parent has applied for child support enforcement services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Child support payments are generated through court orders. Custodial parents failing to receive child support payments may apply for collection services through the Office of the Attorney General (OAG). OAG also may begin collection services if a custodial parent applies for Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) benefits and is not receiving child support payments. OAG attempts to persuade the non-custodial parent to pay current and past-due child support. If this effort is unsuccessful, OAG then may begin the garnishment process by serving the non-custodial parent&#39;s employer with a court order or writ of withholding to turn over a portion of the parent&#39;s compensation. OAG may garnish up to 50 percent of the parent&#39;s disposable earnings to satisfy the debt. The specific amount is set by the court order or writ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    According to the warrant hold information, $13.6 million is owed the OAG for child support payments--$832,000 of which is owed by employees whose child or children receive AFDC and $12.8 million owed in non-AFDC cases. The federal government reimburses the state 66 percent of the costs related to child support enforcement.[5] In 1995, the state paid about 37 percent of the cost of AFDC and is entitled to the same proportion of the additional AFDC-related child support collections.[6]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Collection of outstanding student loans&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    In 1991, the federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation Act (P.L. 102-164; 20 U.S.C. SS1095a et seq.) gave TGSLC the ability to garnish up to 10 percent of a debtor&#39;s disposable pay. TGSLC may continue to garnish wages until the defaulted loan has been paid in full. TGSLC has established criteria for wage withholding. Wages may be withheld if an employee has at least $400 outstanding, a $12,000 salary, and a collection account that is being worked by a TGSLC collector.[7] TGSLC reports that most state workers with unresolved collection accounts (those in which no payment has been made in at least 60 days) who are candidates for wage withholding do not have large salaries. As of August 1996, 55 percent earned less than $20,000 a year, and 96 percent earned less than $30,000 annually.[8]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    June 1996 data from the Comptroller&#39;s warrant hold program indicate that almost 5,600 state employees, or about 2.1 percent of total full-time equivalent employees, are in default on student loans. The total amount in default is $28.3 million.[9]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    State employees owe TGSLC, THECB, and 20 institutions of higher education student loan debt. Information from the Comptroller&#39;s warrant hold program indicates that 4,600 employees owe TGSLC about $25.5 million, an amount representing about 90 percent of the total student loan debt of state employees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The other state program with a substantial student loan debt is the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board&#39;s Hinson-Hazelwood Program. The agency is due $2.7 million (9.5 percent of the total student loan debt) from state employees, according to data from the warrant hold program. The remaining 20 agencies (which comprise only about 0.5 percent of state employee student loan debt) are institutions of higher education, including the Texas State Technical College System, medical schools, and community colleges.[10]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Limitations to state collection programs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Several limits to the effectiveness of wage garnishment and warrant holds exist. The biggest limit to wage garnishment is that it can be used for only two state-administered programs. A constitutional amendment or a new federal law would be required to expand the program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The largest limitation in the warrant hold program is that there is not a mandatory usage of the Comptroller&#39;s system. Moreover, the warrant hold program is effective only if an employee receives payments other than salary compensation. Debt for a state employee who never or rarely travels, for instance, could remain uncollected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Another factor is the amount of time needed to collect a debt through warrant hold. A warrant is valid for two years, and the Comptroller&#39;s Claims Division reports that a fair number of withheld warrants simply expire. This occurs for any number of reasons; in some cases, the debtor never contacts the agency owed to work out a plan, or the agency owed chooses not to release the warrant. In at least some cases, at any rate, a withheld warrant is not a sufficient motive to prompt debtors to begin paying their debts. Some debtors may consider multiple withheld warrants sufficient cause to begin paying a debt, but generating that number of warrants may take months or even years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    A final limitation on the warrant hold program is that little aggregate information is available regarding collections and debts owed the state. The Comptroller&#39;s Claims Division receives information from agencies about outstanding debt to generate warrant holds, but agencies are not obligated to update this information after the initial data have been submitted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Recommendations&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    A. State law should be amended to broaden the Comptroller&#39;s warrant hold program and require mandatory participation by all state agencies and institutions of higher education.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The Comptroller&#39;s warrant hold program applies only to warrants issued by the Comptroller&#39;s office. The program could be expanded so that any payments by the state would be withheld until debts owed by people receiving state payments are cleared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Ultimately, the program could be expanded so that debtors to the state would be precluded from receiving licenses and permits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    B. State law should be amended to allow the Comptroller&#39;s office to promulgate and enforce rules regarding the submission of updated warrant hold information from state agencies and institutions of higher education to ensure accuracy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    C. State law should be amended to allow for the automatic offset of liabilities against warrants issued by the state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    This provision would allow a warrant that is issued and held to be applied against a debt owed the state, treating all debts like taxes are currently treated. This recommendation should not be applicable to salary payments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    D. State law should be amended to require automatic payroll deductions for state employees with delinquent debt payments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    If a state employee becomes delinquent in his or her repayment of debts to the state, the owed agency should be able to set up a payroll deduction automatically to repay the debt. For those deductions not established by federal or state law, the Comptroller&#39;s office should use its current statutory authority to establish the priority of deductions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    E. State law should be amended to allow the Comptroller&#39;s office to adopt a warrant hold policy relating to state salaries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Using the Comptroller&#39;s warrant hold program to hold a state employee&#39;s paycheck because the employee is indebted to the state would not appear to be an unconstitutional garnishment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Many state employees may not know that they owe a debt to the state until a warrant is issued and held. Notices of delinquency should be sent to all employees owing a debt by the agency owed, along with information regarding repayment procedures. Upon receipt of the notice, the delinquent employee would be responsible for contacting the owed agency to voluntarily set up a payment plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    If no contact was made by the employee, the owed agency would be obligated to notify the Comptroller&#39;s office, the employee, and the employing agency that the employee&#39;s paycheck will be held. Arrangements for payment toward the debt would have to be made before the owed agency releases the warrant. As mentioned earlier, the Comptroller&#39;s office has the authority to establish the priority of payments for debts that neither federal nor state law address.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Provisions for enforcement would have to be made by the agency owed for those employees who are paid with local funds. The owed agency would have to determine which state employees are paid with local funds, and would then be obligated to establish a payment plan for the delinquent employee. The owed agency would have to notify the employee of the impending deduction and submit the payment plan to the employing agency for enforcement of the deduction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Fiscal Impact&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    A stricter approach to collecting debt owed the state by state employees would presumably increase the amount of debt collected by the state. Implementation of these recommendations would require programming changes to the Texas Payee Information System and the Uniform Statewide Personnel/Payroll, incurring some costs which would be absorbed by the Comptroller&#39;s office. The cost of this recommendation is negligible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Footnotes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    [1] Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Count of State Employees on Hold, June 24, 1996, pp. 1-17.

I didn&#39;t know last year that it would affect me the way it has. It&#39;s my right that I need to do something about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I feel my rights have been violated that day last year,&quot; Weary told KRIV-TV. &quot;I have had to deal with that for this whole entire year. I&#39;ve thought about it a lot. It&#39;s been on my mind constantly.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two officers said they stopped Weary because he didn&#39;t have a front license plate and was driving &quot;suspiciously.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the police report, the 6-foot-4, 308-pound Weary became angry and uncooperative after being stopped in an area near Reliant Stadium, where authorities were on alert because of criminal activity. Weary was coming from a team practice when he was stopped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Police said Weary was shot with a Taser after he pushed one of the officers away and then tried to come toward them after being told to put his hands on his vehicle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest was later dismissed because of insufficient evidence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weary&#39;s attorney, Joe Walker, told KRIV that his client&#39;s lawsuit doesn&#39;t specify a dollar amount.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I will leave that to the sound discretion of the jury,&quot; Walker told KRIV.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The officers &quot;clearly used race as a factor for reasonable suspicion and making a traffic stop of Mr. Weary,&quot; Walker said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Walker said Tuesday that Weary would not have filed the lawsuit if he had received letters of apology from Mayor Bill White and Police Chief Harold Hurtt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He had also asked for monetary compensation, which would have been donated to a police charity, and that the city review its policies regarding racial profiling and the use of Tasers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;He never got his letter of apology or a concrete review of tasering,&quot; Walker said. &quot;He asked for a copy of [taser] policies and they sent him a policy that was completely blacked out, censored.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Walker said the city&#39;s policy on Taser use needs to be re-examined because some reviews done by local media and advocacy groups show that in more than 350 of the first 900 police Taser incidents, no person was charged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weary&#39;s taser incident renewed controversy over the stun guns&#39; use, prompting White to call for a study of how officers have used the devices. The study, being conducted by the University of Houston Center for Public Policy, is set to be done by January.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://larrygcox.blogspot.com/feeds/1981569838478473742/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/7812874921953587009/1981569838478473742' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7812874921953587009/posts/default/1981569838478473742'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7812874921953587009/posts/default/1981569838478473742'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://larrygcox.blogspot.com/2009/06/taser-students-at-school-and-ccpd.html' title='taser students at school and the CCPD officer claims &quot;I would have shot him (student) if he hurt me&quot;'/><author><name>dannoynted1</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14945400306838778051</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5709/988/1600/slingshot%20d1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812874921953587009.post-4094598345366604841</id><published>2008-06-14T23:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-14T23:30:45.894-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Due Process"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Judicial Process"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Larry Cox"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="School to prison pipeline"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="The Best Defense"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="TRLA"/><title type='text'>§ 52.041.
