Hurtt gets his stun guns
Two weeks ago, City Council shelved a decision to pay $5 million for Taser equipment.
KHOU-11 reports that City Council approved the purchase today.
It's good to know that city has $5 million to throw around for stun guns, but the Mayor and Council have yet to address HPD's manpower issues.
(11-04-2004 Update) Mike Snyder covers the story for the Chronicle. Councilmembers Addie Wiseman and Ada Edwards voted against the authorization, arguing against the expenditure in light of the fact the city has not addressed HPD manpower shortages. A Houston police officers' union also argued the city should forego Tasers and spend the money on addressing manpower problems.
