    Why did the police think that was sufficient evidence to jail someone, especially when there wasn’t any further collaborating evidence.

    I mean, this is US police we’re talking about here, and not just anywhere in the US, but Houston, Texas.

    The answer is “cops do way worse on their own as it is,” and “they don’t actually give a shit, they just want to arrest someone.”

    US cops are terrible, but Texas cops are the worst scum of the worst scum.

      Texas Rangers on the other hand… or at least specific one of them. That’s another story. It’s the man! His tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried. He does not use spell check. If he happens to misspell a word, Oxford will change the spelling. Where some kids pee their name in the snow, he can pee his name into concrete. He counted to infinity. Twice. Once a cobra bit his leg. After five days of excruciating pain, the cobra died. And so much more…

        I heard he once had sex in the cab of a semi truck, and got some bodily fluids on the seat. That truck later became known as Optimus Prime.
