It wasn't about Texans being rednecks; it was about texas government employees who clearly and directly violated agency policy. If TABC didn't fire these fools, it would've opened both the agency and the state to Federal lawsuits at some point. Sometimes smart and right are also the cheapest way to go. Told ya so.

I think that it’s proof that the systematic shining of the light on the truth by a committed group of people makes a difference. Rallying and marching are just one method of doing that.

Do they get a slap on the hand for this??? It sure seems that way. Since none have been disciplined for their part in the raid. What about the police officers that used excessive force?
