A Town Hall Meeting Held

After protests and several arrests, a town hall meeting has been planned for Monday in response to the acquittal of a former Houston police officer accused in the beating of a teen burglary suspect.

 
The not guilty verdict in the Andrew Blomberg beating trial set off a series of protests and some activists even met with Harris County District Attorney Pat Lykos, demanding to know why the Blomberg jury was all white.


Some of those questions were expected to be answered at the town hall meeting last night. Three more former HPD officers on the tape are still awaiting trial.
 

Drew Ryser, Philip Bryan and Raad Hassan are all charged with official oppression.
Chad Holley has also filed a federal civil rights suit against all four of the former officers charged in the case.
