We are pledging $100 and a free website to anyone who wants to run against Narvaiz on a platform of cleaning up the obviously troubled San Marcos Police Department. We feel that Stephens and Williams are the tip of a nasty iceberg and that Narvaiz lacks the will and the intelligence to deal with the problem.

Monday is the LAST DAY to file against Narvaiz. Please contact the Friends of Missy through ThePetitionSite.com if you need the filing fee and we will help you!

If you believe that both Stephens and his Chief should be fired, here are those petitions:

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/fire-san-marcos-police-chief-howard-williams

If you think Mayor Narvaiz has made a terrible decision in backing those jerks, please sign this petition (also includes the complete text of her statement to the press):

Maybe these petitions have an impact on those we seek to influence and maybe they don't. They are, however, an exercise in Freedom of Speech and serve to reassure those whose expectations are not being met that they are not alone in their disappointment.

If you believe a boycott of San Marcos is in order, here's a petition for that:

I can understand Mr. Gonzales placing his life in danger for his dog. I cannot understand Mr. Gonzales placing the lives of those driving on the interstate in danger because of his dog. The officer was right even if most of the people reading this are against him.

Jeff - The officer was right to stop him. BUT, said officer has an attitude problem and a big mouth. Treat a customer/patron like that and you're gone in a minute. A public servant must treat citizens with respect at all times. If they can't or won't there are less stressful jobs.

Hello, really people? You are trying to destroy a good cop's life, threaten his family and make his life hell because somebody didn't know how to take care of their dog? I'm surprised they aren't attacking the VET that sent them to New Braunfels. And the same people are now making money off their dead dog with TV apperances and will probably try to file against the city, so the tax payer can pay for the easy life. Plus, are we all looking at the same video? The guy looks like he is on crack running around crazy. And wasn't the other officer performing cpr on the dog the whole time. Bottom line- safety is more important than an animal.

I feel really bad for the couple who lost their dog. The officer was insensitive and disrespectful. However, watching the video and seeing the man's behavior, he is lucky he was not subdued or worse. If this had happened in Houston or Dallas and not a college city, that would have been the case.

Now if I run aginst her do i get the whole $100 up front or will it be in installments...

My thoughts on the matter...

Did the guy deserve to be repremanded for speeding? Yes.
Did the cop need to treat him that way? No.
I suspect Officer Stephens would have been condescending and power trippy even if there wasn't a dying pet in the car.
Does he need to lose his job? No.
Does he need some serious lessons in compassion and how to treat people? YES!
