The city of Houston has apparently suspended 260,000 criminal cases in the past eight years because of a lack of personnel. Scary thing in the first regard is that this is only 10% of criminal cases in Houston in this time, meaning that about 300,000 crimes occur annually there, and scarier yet that these cases are "suspended", meaning that whichever victims (say up to thirty thousand families) are involved do not get justice, and also scary because innocent men and women still have the axe of justice hanging over their head, because the case is not dismissed, but rather suspended.
But you can always find Officer Friendly doing traffic patrol. Priorities, I guess.
