How understaffed is the Houston Police Department?
Well, let me put it this way. We don’t have enough cops to catch an old man on a bicycle with a sack full of cash:
The man rode up to the bank on the bike shortly before 3:30 p.m. Tuesday. Once inside, he approached the teller, demanded money and said he had a bomb. The robber then gave the teller a note demanding money.
The teller complied and the robber escaped on his bicycle. No one was injured during the robbery.
The robber is described as a white male, 50-55 years of age, approximately 5′8″ tall, 170-200 pounds. He had long gray hair pulled back in a pony tail and a gray beard.
During the robbery, he wore khaki colored pants, a khaki jacket and matching hat.
Meanwhile, Chief Harold Hurtt’s real estate holdings in Phoenix are nice and secure.

At least he was color coordinated. Even his hat matched.
How come when the suspect is a black male they leave the word black out cause it might be racial to say black male, but its ok to say white male?

Oh my gosh that was so hilarious. The man needs a beard and long hair with a ponytail. Where is Photoshop when you need it. ROFL.

The reason they say white and not black man. IMO most white people are not raised to have a chip on their shoulder and we haven’t gotten mad enough to say or do anything.
In all fairness, the Chron has gotten a lot better about reporting the race of wanted suspects. For a while the paper was ignoring even its own stylebook policy, but they’ve improved.
Maybe the bank robber was trying to give the police a fair shot at arresting him or hope that the police will use excessive force in arresting him and he can sue them.
Matt,
In all fairness, they still suck….. hee hee
I guess the security guard/cop at the bank was a doughnut-induced coma when this all happened!
I didn’t know Sarge grew a beard.
He took out an undocumented loan.

Now THAT was funny!
“he approached the teller, demanded money and said he had a bomb”
Actually, he said he was a bum and wanted money. The clerk panicked, handed him a drawer full of cash and he left thinking it was his luckiest day ever!
Neo when are you going to shoot me those pig race pics?
Stating here for the record that this 50-55 year old white male with long gray hair pulled back into a pony tail and gray beard was right here in Rosenberg at 3:30 Tuesday afternoon. Furthermore, my hat does not match either the trousers or shirt, and I only one pair of kahki trousersm which were in the laundry Tuesday afternoon. The tire on the bicycle has been flat since last summer.
Now—where was Squawk?

ROFLMAO! I admit I did think of you!
Still, Neo:
Where was SQuaek at 3:30 yesterday afternoon?
I actually have a tip for Chief Hurtt:
Canvas the VFW’s in the area…you’ll find all sorts of middle aged guys in khaki shirts and trousers with beards and long gray hair in pony tails….
Somebody needs to check out Sarge’s alibi.
Sad to say one of the 1st things I noticed about the story beside the 3 stooges bike escape, was they stated the guy was WHITE. I see others noticed too.
Matt, in all fairness getting better ain’t good enough for “reporting News”! Facts, man just gimme da facts.
