The repetitious paperwork is all in a day's work. But with an increased emphasis on air safety in a post-9/11 world, such red tape has become a hassle for U.S. air marshals crossing the Canadian border. That, in part, is why the federal government wants to relax rules so that foreign law enforcement officers don't need a permit when bringing their weapons into Canada. But some fear it may be opening Pandora's box by giving police agents carte blanche to carry guns in Canada.
There's not a thing to worry about. As we've proven here time and again, they're "The Only Ones," with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men...

Agreed, that's why I applaud Houston Mayor Bill White for pledging to hire 500 more super-heroes.
I don't know what to make of this "Only-One" though... his super powers must be defective..

Officer Arthur J. Carbonneau also failed 16 of 30 subjects in his mandatory Texas peace officers' test, including "use-of-force law," "use-of-force concepts" and "arrest, search and seizure," records show.
In field training, records show, he repeatedly got lost trying to find locations he was called to and became so rattled that trainers had to take over his calls. When the 23-year-old rookie was assigned to remedial training because of the problems, he mishandled the subduing of an agitated person — a mistake his instructor said could have cost lives.
Yet, Carbonneau still became a full-fledged officer in December 2002. Eleven months later, he killed Eli Escobar II, 14.
Turns out that was (another) isolated incident, we're assured HPD's superpower granting abilities are intact:
"There is no objective evidence" to indicate department training is "deficient," concluded the city's expert, Albert Rodriguez, who is commander of the Texas Department of Public Safety Training Academy in Austin, according to an affidavit filed as part of the lawsuit.
Rodriguez also defended the department's hiring of Carbonneau, despite his training errors and having two car accidents in one day as a new officer.
Enough sarcasm, this is discusting:
Despite objections from HPD, a federal judge has decided their case can move forward to the pretrial stage. It appears to be the first major lawsuit in years involving an officer-involved shooting in Houston that has been allowed to advance so far.
It's surprising the care is getting this far? Keep in mind this "only-one" shot an unarmed and non-confrontational 14yr old while his partner held him down.

Won't post the entire link.... Try this
It wasn't murder one, but it was Goddamned sure negligent homicide worth at least 5 years in Huntsville. Too fucking bad he was a cop, he should be inside where he could find out just how fucking tough he is.
Houston only hires murderers for their police force. This guy never had a chance, being just a negligent homicider. If they ever develop a bone finding machine it will be very interesting how many skeletons show up in the bayous around Houston, with cuffs and/or police bullets close by.
