Houston, 14 December – former Police Captain Mark Anthony Aguirre falsely, incorrectly decides that an AC repairman is involved in massive vote fraud. Failing to convince the police or other authorities of his bizarre claim: he is alleged to have hit his victim’s vehicle, forcing him to stop: and then pointing a gun at his head.
If the name Mark Anthony Aguirre is familiar, he was linked to a K-Mart policing action which was so disastrous the controversy prompted the largest internal affairs investigation in HPD’s history and later resulted in disciplinary action against 32 officers and staff members. A jury acquitted Aguirre of five counts of official oppression.
Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said Aguirre “crossed the line from dirty politics to commission of a violent crime and we are lucky no one was killed.”
The false, ridiculous vote fraud conspiracy he believed seems to have concerned Facebook’s Zuckerberg’s getting Hispanic children to forge votes. Unsurprisingly, Aguirre could not get anyone in law enforcement to agree to any arrests. Instead, he decided to operate outwith the law, and drew a weapon on an innocent man, forcing him to stop his vehicle. No trace of voter fraud was found – only repairman’s tools.
Aguirre apparently is linked to the ‘Liberty Center for God and Country’ group. There was a Go Fund Me appeal, since removed, created to ‘fund the vote fraud work’ Aguirre and others were involved in. One news source says Aguirre, 63, was allegedly paid $266,400 by the Liberty Center for God and Country to investigate voter fraud in the lead up to the election
This is a former police chief who has shown a serious lack of regard for human rights, fire arm safety, law and order: it’s time to ask for his former cases to be reviewed: and for him to lose the right to have firearms.
As an aside, in a slogan taking us back to the McCarthy era of communist-hating, the Liberty Center told its 900 Facebook page members that ‘the only good communist is a dead communist’ – feel free to report this post too, made as it is to highly-paranoid, suggestible people who will undoubtedly include gun owners in its membership.

Dear DA Ogg, As a gun law reform campaigner I appreciate your strong words concerning the illegal, dangerous, armed attack ex Houston police chief Mark Anthony Aguirre made on an innocent party. As you know, he decided to take the law into his own hands concerning non-existent voter fraud he believed was going on, and brandished a gun at an innocent man. You were right when you said ‘it is lucky no one was killed.’ I am sure we will see a robust case built against Aguirre, and I do hope one result is he will be prohibited from ever having firearms again. Additionally, I wonder about the robustness of any past convictions his evidence may have influenced, and in how a man like him with no understanding of law became a police captain – I hope his past work will be looked at too. Thank you.

Just outside of Los Lunas, on the last leg of a trip that started in South Bend, Indiana, a New Mexico State Police officer attempted to pull Applewhite over for what was described as a traffic stop. It was 8:32 a.m., a NMSP press release said. About 10 minutes later, two state troopers tried to arrest Applewhite. When an altercation occurred with the first officer, the second officer shot Applewhite, firing “at least one round,” the NMSP said. Applewhite, unarmed, died that day in the hospital.
To take this action: VOTE, and ask at least one other person in your family/group of close friends to vote as well.
They have however shockingly decided to charge elected Representative Attica Scott with regard to rioting: for trying to get to a church before curfew as police blocked her route.
Within a month Trump was renewing the gun law reform promises made during his campaign which he had abandoned.
We agree with her family and their lawyer who called this a sham.
Mother Golda Barton also confirmed she called the police and asked for a crisis intervention team to help her manage the situation and get her son treatment.
Far right protesters are coming from out of state and inciting violence. They including 17-year old Kyle Rittenhouse who is now on a murder charge: his mother drove him and his weapon to the demonstrations, where he shot two people dead.
With no arrests, the officers have been at liberty to do as they please, perhaps even ‘get their stories straight’? – as the family and community suffers.
