Sgt. Harold Preston was a 41 year veteran of the Houston Police Department. He was the caretaker for his elderly parents. 65 years old, he was just a few weeks away from retirement.
He was shot and killed Tuesday morning in the line of duty.
Preston was shot by Elmer Manzano, an illegal alien and convicted felon with multiple priors.
- In October 1994, Manzano was arrested for the unlawful carrying of a firearm in Dallas County. That case was dismissed after a year of deferred adjudication, according to Dallas County court records.
- In August 2000, Manzano was arrested for assault in Dallas County. He agreed to a plea of one-year probation in the case. His probation was later revoked and he was sentenced to 6 months in jail, according to Dallas County court records.
- In December 2000, Manzano was again arrested in Dallas County for assault. He agreed to a plea of one year of probation in the case. His probation was later revoked and he was sentenced to six months in jail, according to Dallas County court records.
- In May 2001, Manzano was yet again arrested in Dallas County for felony assault causing bodily injury to a family member. The charge was dismissed after two years of deferred adjudication, according to Dallas County court records.
- In December 2002, Manzano pleaded guilty to evading arrest with a motor vehicle in Harris County. He was sentenced to 120 days in jail, according to court records.
- In 2004, in Harris County, a judge issued a protective order against Manzano, but there have been no court records of crimes or domestic issues since then.
A second officer, Courtney Waller, was shot in the arm.
This is Kim Ogg, the Harris County District Attorney.
On October 18, Manzano was arrested for brandishing a weapon and threatening his wife.
Enter Ogg
HPD Officers took Elmer Manzano into custody that day but Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg declined to take charges, instructing Officers to release him, and return the six bullets he had in his pocket, he was also allowed to keep his gun which he claimed was locked in his safe.
Two days later Manzano used that gun and those bullets to kill Sgt. Preston. Had Ogg not dropped the charges, Manzano would have neither the bullets nor the gun.
Kim Ogg is an elected official. She received significant financial help from a monster bent on destroying this country.
Billionaire George Soros again has stepped into the Harris County district attorney’s race with a half-million-dollar advertising buy on behalf of Democratic candidate Kim Ogg.
Last February, the liberal business-philanthropist—and Republican bogeyman—spent $100,000 in support of Ogg’s unsuccessful primary opponent Morris Overstreet.
The latest Soros contribution arrives just days after the Ogg campaign filed a quarterly finance report showing she received nearly $135,000 in campaign contributions from a PAC supported by Steve Mostyn, another major Democratic financier.
Ogg is as responsible for the death of Harold Preston as is Manzano. A mongrel puppet of Soros, Ogg is a wretched, vile beast who should be removed from her position immediately.
Soros-backed stooge DA’s and AG’s all over the country are presiding over rampant crime.
More here.
In the last few months we’ve seen a billion dollars in riot damages, 300 cops injured and 30 people dead while these vermin ignore the carnage. In Seattle it’s always catch and release.
Soros is but one more oligarch who has more control of this country than any of us do and that should scare the hell out of you.

The left creates the conditions for rampant violence, then their solution is to restrict the rights and freedoms of law abiding citizens. The reality is, we would be safer without leftists.
This is horrendous.
These Soros’ backed DAs are also turning Self Defense laws on their heads.
If a Lefty threatens you, and you defend yourself there’s bound to be either escalation or backing down.
In either case, a Soros DA will go after the victim, the home/property/person defender.
Those who instigate get free passes.
@Nan G: Liberals are scumbags and Soros is King of the Scumbags.
Soros does bear responsibility for this and other crimes that have been committed right under the watch of his failed candidates. However, let’s not ignore the fact that the voters elected these people. Either they support their policies or they have no idea who they are voting for. Either way, they bear a big chunk of the blame themselves.
@Me: Absolutely true. People should realize the full extent of what their votes represent. They can be legitimately ignorant at first, but not correcting the initial mistake (such as reelecting Obama or voting for Hillary or Biden) is inexcusable.
Manzano should be hanged and Ogg and Soros should face charges if aiding and abetting and given Life Without Parole
live in Houston, she could care less about the city or its people. white trash
