Houston officials are at it again

It seems like Houston law enforcement officials always make news and not for the right reason:

A group of Houston police officers has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city and Chief Harold Hurtt, alleging a "longstanding history of policies and conduct that discriminate against Hispanic police officers."

The 23 plaintiffs in the civil complaint say they are underrepresented in management, and that rank-and-file Spanish-speaking officers aren't properly compensated for "additional work" they perform, such as translations.


Let's hope their complaint is fully investigated.
