This seems like a good use of taxpayer dollars...
KHOU-11 reports that the City of Houston will decide whether or not to allocate $150,000 to defend Chief Hurtt's no facial hair policy:
The case centers around four Houston police officers who filed a federal discrimination lawsuit against HPD over their beards.
The officers have not been allowed to wear a uniform because of the department’s strict no facial hair policy.
Yeah, with HPD's manpower shortage, this idea was pure genius: Sideline four officers AND spend thousands of dollars!
