DPS Threatens to Murder Area Residents

On the night of Friday September 11, 2009 a DPS officer threatened to murder several area residents by driving over them in his cruiser. The residents were standing on the sidewalk at the entrance of an alley. When the officer approached he ordered them to leave, which was beyond his authority. He then yelled at the residents. When they still stayed put, he threatened to run over all of them with his cruiser, which would have, in all likelihood, resulted in their deaths. As such, he did in fact threaten to murder them. The officer then contacted his superiors. Two commanding officers arrived, along with 5 other officers in 4 squad cars. The officers then interviewed the residents, and concurred that they had not broken any laws, and were within their legal right to refuse to obey the orders of the DPS officer. Moreover, the residents were within their right to refuse to turn over their identifications to the DPS officer, given that he is not a police officer. The commanding officers then apologized for the violent behavior of the DPS officer, and assured the residents that it would not happen again. Nevertheless, this scenario si horrifying, in that a DPS officer threatened to murder people by driving them over with his car. Hopefully in the future DPS will better screen its officers to make sure that they do not threaten nor attempt to murder anyone else.

I again thank my anonymous sources for providing me with the details of this tragic incident.
