What was the Houston Police department thinking when it arrested 300 people, some of whom were simply trying to get a chili dog at James Coney Island? Read Roma Khanna’s article in the Houston Chronicle.

I have no personal knowledge of this area on Saturday night. There may be severe problems in this area that require police action. If so, the Chronicle would likely have documented them. Drag racing, the purported reason for the raids, to me, hardly warrants this kind of reaction.
