I was there about 5 minutes before it happened, kinda scary.

That totally sucks! Did you see the pictures of the tow truck driver dragging the car's ass on the ground? This is one of the reasons I don't like to be in that area of town on the weekends at night - there is just too much potential for BS like this to happen. I was pulled over a couple of weeks ago 1 block away from Polly Esther's after I left. The cop was "just checking to make sure I wasn't one of the racer kids" that hangs out around there. Cops like that give cops a bad name.

quite horrible. =/

in this case, what should be done would be calls or letters to "those businesses" which were making the complaints only to verify that the complaints were even being made. lots of 'hearsay' complaints have been generated by HPD over the years, very few of them are actually real.

Just heard they are doing a report about it on Fox 26 News tonight, though I'm sure it will be on other stations as well...

Well I think the cops over did themselves with that many arrests. Wasn't it like a few months ago they busted drag racing and only arrested 10-20 people and handed out some citations? When you think about it, drag racing incident was more severe than the congregation of people at Kmart just this past weekend, yet they arrested 400 innocent/guilty people? That is surprisingly difficult to grasp an understanding to me. I guess cops have to much power to just do anything these days. C'mon arresting a 10 year old girl? She might never leave home now. Oh, well back to All About the Benjamins, one funny ass movie.

i think its kinda funny. i know some inocent people got arrested but the police managed to take care of a portion RICEY CARS thats are infesting the import scene.

i feel bad for the people who were HONESTLY not in the wrong.

i laugh at all the dumb ricers who got arrested for hanging out and doing burnouts and blaring their crappy music. they are the ones that deserve to be arrested.
