Whitmire is not to be praised. He has had Houston cooperating with Ice & originally stated he would not let Houston police investigate the Ice murder. Whitmire is a Republican in Dem clothing & has been terrible for the city.

Houston Mayor John Whitmire: For the Salgado family, life will never be the same. At no fault of theirs, Mr. Salgado was chased by a unmarked vehicles. Before he could identify himself and speak as a Houstonian, he was shot and killed. We'll use our resources to pursue a transparent investigation.

There were no arrests, no tagging and no windows broken at today's protest in Houston. I didn't see any even vague tense confrontations or exchanges with police.
After 2.5 years in LA, it's wild to see how much calmer Houston police are than LASD/LAPD.
