Police and Prison Still Not Shaping Up - February Off to Bad Start

SAN ANTONIO - After the debacle that was the police’s response to the chaos that occurred last month, citizens of San Antonio expected them to up their game.

Unfortunately, this month seems as though it might become worse than the last.

The scrutiny under which SAPD has been operating lately has yet to improve their performance.

A crew of 6 police investigators combed over a new local art gallery just after sun up, Sunday morning. Their warrant, the owner said, was to search the area for blood. The investigators could not be found for comment, and when SAPD was contacted, they knew nothing of the incident, claiming that the investigators had not been a part of the police force. The owner is unaware whether or not any blood was found on the premises or if it was just a pretense for the imposters to conduct an illegal search for something else. Witnesses claim that the crew had what looked like official SAPD uniforms and badges, which begs the question - why can’t SAPD hold on to their stuff? Why was it so easy for these people to impersonate officers?

On the heels of that disturbing occurrence, there was another theft from the police this week. Two armored SUVs were stolen from the Police fleet building on Frio street. 6 people involved, dressed in black gear, wielding automatic weapons. It is unknown if these were the same six who claimed to be police officers searching the art gallery for blood.

And finally, on the heels of the prison escape that occurred last month, our detention centers are also falling apart, another link of the justice chain shattering.

The prison warden was assaulted in his home by masked gentleman this week. “The Gent” as he’s being called by guards at the prison, was found with Warden partially dressed, and hand cuffed in his home. The warden has declined comment, and his wife is moving out, lending credence to the theory that there was no assault at all, only another scandal for the people of San Antonio to deal with.

With all of the incompetence show by the justice system lately, citizens are starting to wonder whether they really can trust the justice system in the city of San Antonio, and how long it will take to completely collapse.
