| Disgraced the badge in a minute TikTok video. |
A woman who made a viral rant calling Black people racial slurs was outed as a Houston Police officer. Now it will certainly affect the agency, the precient she was stationed at and the community that depends on her to do her job with impartiality.
It also grows the calls for the end of police immunity.
Ashley Gonzales has officially scrubbed her social media. I had difficulty trying to search for all her profiles. I didn't bother looking at MySpace but I will soon. But TikTok, Facebook and YouTube profiles of her are gone. But I am definitely looking for all of them.
Authorities said they believe it's Houston Police Officer Ashley Gonzalez in the video. While she's still technically an employee, she has been relieved of duty.
According to Houston Police Department officials, Gonzalez turned in her badge and gun and will be checked on to make sure she's at her house every day. She's not allowed to perform any police duties. When the investigation into the incident is complete, she will either be reinstated or indefinitely suspended, which means she will be fired and not eligible to be rehired.
In the video, Gonzalez appears to be referring to an incident that happened while she was off duty. She said she "hated Black people" and if she were to respond to a 911 call and a Black person was at the scene, she would take them to jail. She used the N-word several times and referenced slavery.
In the video, she said she felt good about calling a Black person the N-word to their face.
Gonzalez mentioned that the situation she was talking about in the video reminded her of her time in the Marines. According to military officials, Gonzalez served in the Marines from March 2019 through March 2023 and reached the rank of Corporal, E4. She was a motor vehicle operator and earned several awards, including the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal and the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal. Records show she did not deploy during her tenure.
The Houston Police Officers' Union issued a statement condemning Gonzalez's actions. The president of the Houston chapter of the NAACP, Bishop James Dixon, also condemned the video. He told us he has talked with the HPOU president, and they are on the same page.
“That is a sick mindset and is violence waiting to happen," Dixon said.
Dixon added that he has heard from several officers who are also disgusted by her actions.

| Pretty stupid. |
Here's the full statement from HPOU:
"The Houston Police Officers’ Union is extremely disturbed by a video circulating on social media regarding an officer making offensive, racist comments. In no way does the HPOU or its leadership condone or tolerate racist behavior from any of our officers. The Houston Police Department prides itself as being the most diverse police department in the nation, largely a product of the collaborative changes to civil service law that the HPOU and the Department have made through our meet and confer process. It is our belief that the Department is diligently working to confirm the authenticity of this video and will take appropriate measures to ensure public confidence and trust between our Department and our community."
While officers have limited free speech rights, they cannot engage in behavior that undermines the department's professionalism.
Houston a city with 2.7 million residents, extending into four counties has over 5,800 officers covering 678 miles.
The lack of sympathy when a police officer killed on duty will be directly traced to people like that woman. Her rant will assure that people will not shed one tear if a police officer is killed.
When cops are acting like this on social media or in public, the likelihood of watching their fellow officers die is strong. When a suspect does kill a law enforcement officer, people gonna justify it by saying folks like Ashley Gonzales made it possible.
Her rants show that the whole department would rather kill you than protect you.
So why not protect yourself from the abusive cops?
If she is terminated, she will be ineligible to serve as a law enforcement officer in Texas.
If she does move to another state, it could follow her. But it highly unlikely she will ever be a police officer again.

| The shooter killed his family. |
What did those children ever do to drive their father mad with rage?
The suspected shooter is a 31 year old man who is an Army veteran.
Now, you tell me how many of these U.S. soliders are coming back warped in the head?
President Donald J. Trump will just eat his McDonald's, drink his Diet Coke, watch Fox or Newmax, post some dumb shit on Truth Social or X and the go to bed. Oh, he will do a campaign event or appear at a sporting event.
We are $39.6 trillion in debt. Trump in his first year of his second term has put over $3 trillion into the national debt.
While 34% of Americans approve of his job, the rest of us are angry. There are Americans who fear they might be homeless. They're Americans who are likely going to be potentially violent if they are angered by politics. Some are potentially desperate to steal or just willing to end it all when things get worse.
I get it.
We are living in chaotic times.
Y'all voted for this.
If you didn't and you keep telling folks, "we tried to warn you", understand that you're part of the problem too. You act like you are on some high moral ground when you're just as bad as they are.
MAGA is dead.
Trump is definitely in the second term curse.
President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Gov. Jeff Landry, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Sen. John N. Kennedy (R-LA), U.S. House members and Shreveport mayor Tom Arceneaux were notified of this mass shooting.
The shooter killed eight children Sunday in a shooting that authorities described as a domestic violence incident and was later killed by police after he fled in a carjacked vehicle, officials said.
The suspect's wife and a woman believed to be his girlfriend were also shot and seriously injured in the violence, which occurred at two homes in the early morning, police said.
The children killed were 18 months to 12 years old, police said.
“I just don’t know what to say. My heart is just taken aback,” Shreveport Police Chief Wayne Smith told reporters. “I just cannot begin to imagine how such an event can occur.”
Police identified Shamar Elkins as the shooter and sole suspect. Seven of the eight children who were killed were his, police spokesperson Christopher Bordelon said.
Shreveport police officers responded to the 300 block of West 79th Street just after 6 a.m. following reports of a domestic disturbance, police said. Bordelon described the crime scene as “extensive.”
The gunman first shot a woman on nearby Harrison Street before he headed to a home on West 79th Street, where he killed all the children, police said.
The gunman fled and carjacked a person at gunpoint near the intersection of Linwood Avenue and West 79th Street, police said.
Officers shot and killed the suspect in neighboring Bossier Parish after a pursuit, police said. Police believe there are no other suspects, Bordelon said.
“Officers were forced to discharge their department-issued firearms, neutralizing the suspect,” police said in a statement.
Louisiana State Police are investigating the shooting of the suspect. Shreveport police said nothing suggests any wrongdoing by officers.
The gunman shot 10 victims in all. A teenager had non-life-threatening injuries from falling off a roof, police said.
One of the wounded women is Elkins' wife, who was shot in the face but was alive Sunday, and the other woman is believed to be his girlfriend, Bordelon said.

He said investigators are still investigating why Elkins would have carried out the shootings.
“We know it’s domestic in nature, we know his wife is involved, and she is the mother of at least seven of the children, with the eighth being a family friend,” Bordelon said.
A small-caliber handgun was used in some of the violence, and Elkins had a "rifle-style pistol" when police confronted and killed him, Bordelon said.
It appears many of the children were shot in their sleep, Bordelon said. Most of them were shot in the head, he said.
"It is a disgusting and evil scene," Bordelon said.
Mack London, 71, who lives on the same block, said he didn’t hear the gunfire and that he only learned of the killings from a neighbor as he stepped outside around 7 a.m. to close his gate. By then, he said, the street was flooded with police and an ambulance, with the block shut down and onlookers gathering.
London, who has lived there since 1991, said such violence is unheard of in the neighborhood. “Nothing like this has ever happened on this street,” he said. “It was bad. ... I hate that it happened to those kids.”
Shreveport Mayor Tom Arceneaux said the community is in mourning.
“This is a tragic situation, maybe the worst tragic situation we’ve ever had in Shreveport,” he said at a news conference.
Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry said he is “heartbroken over this horrific situation” and grateful for local law enforcement and first responders. House Speaker Mike Johnson, who has represented Shreveport in Congress for almost 10 years, called the incident a “heartbreaking tragedy,” adding that his team is in touch with local police.
Elkins was a former member of the Louisiana Army National Guard who served from August 2013 to August 2020 as a signal support system specialist and a fire support specialist, but he never deployed and left a private, the Army said.
Elkins had a 2019 arrest and conviction of illegal use of a firearm, which likely prohibited him from legally owning firearms, Bordelon said.
Members of Shreveport’s City Council gathered near the scene Sunday afternoon to pray and ask the community to lift up the family affected.
The slain children “had their whole life ahead of them,” Council Chair Tabatha Taylor said through tears.
“This is the result when someone snaps,” Taylor said. “So I’m going to ask the community, along with prayer, with every mental health consultant that is out there — this family and this community needs you.”
Freddie and Marie Montgomery live across the street from where the children were killed, but they didn’t know the family well. They said the family had moved in about six months ago.
Around 6:30 a.m. Sunday, there was a commotion and Shreveport police were entering the home, they said.
“When they brought all those kids out of that house, that’s just the worst thing I ever seen,” Marie Montgomery said.
Saturday, Freddie Montgomery was visiting with another neighbor and returning home when he saw a man in the front yard and the children playing outside. He said he waved at the man and the man waved back like normal.
“When we found out what had actually happened over there, it was just, just a shock,” he said. “There is no sense in this.”
