Protecting and serving the sh!t out of you.

[Rick Modena]

Exactly the same as Sharpton and Jackson. I don't get it. None of them are charismatic. But they have huge followings. And the people that follow them are too fucking stupid to realize they each have a vested interest in keeping racial tension. If we all sang fucking kumbaya tomorrow, they'd be out of business and off the news.

Because like all attention whores they go out to all of the Hispanic, or Black events where there is racial tensions and instead of putting out the fires, they fan them from behind the curtains. Most of these events are stupid people anyway so they think these clowns are their champions, but they are only in it for themselves.

JWP is about to serve some serious jail time, the FBI is about to fuck him in the ass and I can't wait to see his smug ass face as they are taking him to a Federal pound me in the ass prison...

I don't think he will. I think if they had anything on him, the whole situation wouldn't have been so quiet. It's been like 3 years, and nothing...


I do hope I'm wrong though!

As a general rule, it's probably best to avoid driving through Cockrell Hill. Police in the tiny hamlet, a .6-square-mile splotch in the middle of Oak Cliff, wrote 7,890 traffic tickets last year, nearly two for each of its residents.
That's doubly true if you lack proof of insurance. Each month, the city impounds 200 to 300 cars, according to an investigation conducted by Mayor Luis Cerrera and reported last night by CBS 11's Jason Allen.

That's an insane number for a town of Cockrell Hill's size, but it wasn't his department's penchant for towing cars that prompted Police Chief Michael Sellers to resign yesterday. It was because he was bypassing the legally required public auction and selling some of the seized vehicles from the department's front window.

Assistant City Manager Brett Haney says the cars that were sold had been legally abandoned, the city having received no response to certified letters sent to the title and lien holders of the vehicles. He describes the front-window sales as "an isolated incident" and says there is no indication that Sellers or anyone else pocketed any of the proceeds, which were "on par with what we get generally" for other vehicles sold at auction.

"There were six vehicles, two mopeds and four cars [according to Cerrera's investigation], and the city has responded by turning it over to the DA. As far as we're concerned, we did our due diligence."

Whether or not prosecutors decide that Sellers did anything criminal, the episode raises some serious questions about law enforcement in Cockrell Hill.

Activist Carlos Quintanilla says the department intentionally targets Hispanic immigrants, who often lack a driver's license and thus have their car title in another person's name. The city's previous rule, which the City Council changed last night, said that only the title holder could claim an impounded car.

There's also the sheer number. Once again, for a town of 4,200, impounding 2,400 to 3,600 cars is insane. Even if, as Haney says, that estimate is too high, "a misnomer" on the part of the mayor ("I would conservatively estimate 150.") Cockrell Hill is impounding a helluva lot of cars.

Haney says that's is a byproduct of the city's efforts to maintain public safety. Impounding cars "is not a policy goal at all. It's an attempt on the police department to remove uninsured drivers. Me and you are both at risk if we ever get in an accident with an uninsured motorist. The idea is to get them off the road."

Public safety was also the justification for Cockrell PD's policy of letting command staff take legally abandoned cars home with them. (They couldn't take the squad cars because the department needs all four of them for patrol.) That way the chief and his deputies would "be able to respond to emergency situations," Haney said. The City Council changed that policy last night as well.

This is the second time in six years that Cockrell Hill's police chief has resigned following a mayoral investigation. Sellers got his job in 2008 after Catherine Smit quit amid suspicions that she lied on her job application.

what does not having insurance having relate to the car's title in in someone else's name ?

Federal grand jury subponeas went out last week so we are about to hear all the details of what this particular shitbag has been doing. A lot of it was shaking down real estate developers who wanted to build in south Dallas.

Because once the car was impounded for no insurance, the "owner" could not get the car back since the title was not in their name.

What I don't get is that it says they changed that part of the law. So now you can pick up impounded cars without being the registered owner??

The "owner" cant prove that they own it, still.

I just don't understand this: "The city's previous rule, which the City Council changed last night, said that only the title holder could claim an impounded car."

That leads me to believe that not only the title holder. Maybe they now allow you to pick it up if you have a Bill of Sale or the title is signed off by the actual "title holder"? IDK. Seems like that rule was pretty standard.

LOL, Cockrell Hill. What a fuckhole.

I wonder if Denny can add anything to this story.

[John -- '02 HAWK]

I worked in the area for the last 4-6 months and would see a car getting towed usually every other day just to the east of cockrell hill road and jefferson.

most of the pos's that are getting towed arent worth paying impound fee on.

[01-GATOR]

Fuck Cockrell Hill, I avoid that piece of shit city at all cost.

I agree with the man on this. The Feds are slow on their cases, but they don't get search warrants on a public officials house at the drop of a hat. That had to get cleared through DC. They got a case on him, just a matter of how big....First to squeal gets the best deal...They got a squealer ...

[Sean88gt]

When I go to Jose's house, I have to take a 30 minute detour as not to drive through CH. Same goes with Plano Texas, I will pay the NTTA before I drive through that fucked up ass town!

You do realize that all tollways touch Plano, right?

Hope you guys are right. JWP needs to go away. Didn't he have some suspiciously aquired vehicles? Connected maybe?
