Houston police claim code error led to 264,000 criminal case suspensions
The Houston Police Department's investigation into dropped sexual assault cases has now been expanded to include about 264,000 more cases.

Houston Mayor John Whitmire came out Monday against the Houston Police Department's handling of thousands of police investigations that were suspended due to faulty computer codes.

"I am very concerned. It is unacceptable and I have instructed Chief Finner to be transparent and continue his review as a top priority," Whitmire said in a statement on X. "Public safety continues to be my highest priority."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Victims? Who cares about victims if you can claim that the crime rate is falling in your city?

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
