Houston police fired 40 shots at woman's car; city denies liability
Original: Houston police shot her car 40 times. The city denies liability. Surprisingly this supposedly easy case needs to see the
Houston police officers fired roughly 40 shots at a woman's car, and the city is refusing to accept liability for the shooting. What was expected to be a straightforward case is instead heading to a judge, drawing criticism of how the city and its police department handle police violence claims. Commenters describe Houston as an unfriendly environment for such victims.
Why now: The contrast between the extreme number of shots fired and the city's denial of liability is reigniting debate over police accountability in Houston.
