The former HPD captain told authorities the repairman was hiding 750,000 fraudulent ballots in a truck he was driving, but it turns out he had air conditioning parts and tools.

"Aguirre allegedly never told police that he had been paid a total of $266,400 by the Houston-based Liberty Center for God and Country, with $211,400 of that amount being deposited into his account the day after the incident."

1. Oh wow.

Reminiscent of planet pizza's dude who went up there to free up non-existent children from a non-existent basement.

[Takket]

2. i don't understand what the deposit/money was for?

20 years is not enough for this lunatic. he should be locked away for life for terrorizing that man.

[Nevilledog]

3. Sounds like it was payment for "investigating the fraud".

[captain queeg]

4. I hope a lot of the inmates have some past dealings & resentments with this clown

And he’s quickly recognized.

14. Dr. Hotze says: "Kill 'em"

"Kill 'em": Houston GOP powerbroker Steve Hotze left Greg Abbott a voicemail requesting that National Guard "shoot to kill" rioters
Hotze, a staunch critic of Abbott's coronavirus response, left a voicemail with the governor's chief of staff in early June with the incendiary instruction.

In the days after George Floyd's killing in police custody in Minneapolis last month, as massive protests against police brutality spread across Texas and other states, conservative power broker Steve Hotze of Houston called Gov. Greg Abbott's chief of staff to pass along a message.

"I want you to give a message to the governor," Hotze told Abbott's chief of staff, Luis Saenz, in a voicemail. "I want to make sure that he has National Guard down here and they have the order to shoot to kill if any of these son-of-a-bitch people start rioting like they have in Dallas, start tearing down businesses — shoot to kill the son of a bitches. That’s the only way you restore order. Kill 'em. Thank you."

The voicemail, which The Texas Tribune obtained Friday via a public information request, came on the weekend of June 6, several days after Abbott activated the Texas National Guard as some of the protests became violent. It is unclear whether Saenz responded, and Abbott's office declined to comment on the voicemail.

16. What a nice man

NOT - this has teeth

[magicarpet]

8. Well the Fascist Captain's lawyers fees well gobble up that $200K real fast.

Good,... hope it costs more plus he gets jail time.

[exboyfil]

9. Why are we hearing about this now

and not before the election?

Some might think they were hiding something until after the election.

[chowder66]

10. Wow. That is one messed up cop. nt

[herding cats]

17. Former cop.

He was, "indefinitely suspended from HPD in January 2003."

I don't know the background but that sounds like he's been bad before now.

[malaise]

24. Check Dalton99a's post at #19 n/t

[herding cats]

25. Thank you! What an idiot!

He's a fool who should never have had power over others!

[malaise]

27. He is a fool but he may also be a tool

and that's the part that bothers me

[herding cats]

11. From another local source.

According to the documents, Aguirre ran his SUV into the back of the truck to get the repairman to stop and get out. When the technician got out of the truck, Aguirre pointed a handgun at him, forced him to the ground, where Aguirre reportedly put his knee on the man’s back. The incident was captured on the body-worn camera of a police officer.

Aguirre directed police to a parking lot nearby where another suspect, who has not been identified, took the truck, investigators said. There were no ballots in the truck. It was filled with air conditioning parts and tools.

The other person (not identified) stole the vehicle and took it to a parking lot. Isn't that theft?

[malaise]

12. The most important part of this story is that he had been paid a total of $266,400

by the Houston-based Liberty Center for God and Country, - a den of Trumpsters

https://libertycgc.com/

This story is HUGE!

[herding cats]

15. Yes, it is.

As they say, this story has legs!

[exboyfil]

18. $200K after the incident

Which looks like the actions of a co-conspirator to me.

I wonder if they got any Covid money.

[malaise]

20. The web site is all Killa Con

Follow the money - I want to know the AGs links to the group

[tanyev]

13. But did they look inside all the parts and tools?

All 750,000 ballots might have been rolled up really tight and stuck inside!

19. The idiot was fired in 2003 for this fiasco:

https://www.mrt.com/news/article/Houston-police-captain-in-Kmart-raid-fired-7778659.php

Houston police captain in Kmart raid fired
Published 6:00 pm CST, Tuesday, January 28, 2003

A Houston police captain whose botched raid of drag racers last summer sparked a public uproar was fired Wednesday.

Police Capt. Mark Aguirre, commander of the Aug. 18 raid in a Houston Kmart parking lot and a 23-year veteran of the police force, is already under indictment on five counts of official oppression in connection with the case.

He met Tuesday with acting Police Chief Tim Ottmeier, who announced Aguirre's firing during Wednesday's Houston City Council meeting.

Houston police Sgt. Ken Wenzel, a 26-year veteran and one of 13 officers suspended with pay after the raid, resigned Tuesday hours before he was to meet with Ottmeier. Aguirre's lawyer, Terry Yates, had expected Aguirre to be terminated and has said his client would fight any departmental discipline.

Wenzel also was indicted in December on the same five charges.

"I think what occurred is a grotesque charade," Aguirre said Wednesday.

He was in charge of the raid intended to curb drag racing, and Wenzel was a sergeant in his division.

Police found no evidence of drag racing the night of the raid, but they arrested more than 270 people in the department store's parking lot and those of a nearby Sonic Drive-In and James Coney Island restaurants.

Many of those arrested were restaurant customers, and they were charged with curfew violations and trespassing.

All charges against those arrested in the raid were eventually dismissed. They are being expunged from their records at city expense, but several lawsuits have been filed against the city and police department.

22. Oops one more thug posing as a cop

Thanks for the links man

[exboyfil]

23. He made it all the way to Captain

and has demonstrated again he is unhinged.

Put him someplace where he can't terrorize anyone anymore.

21. This person is an idiot

28. The head of the Liberty Center is Swervin' Steve Hotze

Dr. Steven Forrest Hotze, head of the "Liberty Center for God and Country", was arrested for DUI in Houston in October 2000. His prosecution failed because the Officer failed to appear at 3 different hearings.
(The Liberty Center is who paid Agguirre $266,400 to hunt down the imaginary 750,000 mail-in ballots on October 19, 15 days before the election.)
Hotze's attorney at the time was Terry Yates.

www.houstonpress.com/news/hotzes-blue-angels-6562483

In 2003, when Police Captain Agguirre was fired, his attorney was Terry Yates.

www.mrt.com/news/article/Houston-police-captain-in-Kmart-raid-fired-7778659.php

In 2020 when ex-Captain Agguirre was arrested for the October 19 assault with a deadly weapon, his attorney is Terry Yates.

Those Trumpers are sure keeping attorney Yates busy!
