Fired Hempstead police chief now nominee for sheriff

We asked him to resign from his job. He refused to resign, so the council had no other choice but to fire him Hempstead Police Chief R. Glenn Smith, who was fired last month by elected city officials, is now the Republican Party's nominee for Waller County sheriff. via Houston Chronicle

[ashamed of Hempstead]

The next time Eric Hanson does a story on any city, I hope he interviews someone from the city or at least qualified to make a statement. Why would any journalist interview someone from Austin county when there are almost 5000 residents of Hempstead?

I AM MADDD at R. Glenn Smith! How dare this man get in front of potential voters and LIE - Just like the politician he is!

I went to the court house last night to see the debate. I had not ever been to any of the forums and did I ever get an ear full of BS from RG Smith. I have never seen him in person.

My next door neighbor is a prominent business owner here in Hempstead. He told me that R. G. Smith came by his business and told them something to the effect of "I know that I have made mistakes here in Hempstead and alot of people are upset with me, but do you REALLY want a BLACK MAN as Sheriff?".

It is despicable that any human being can think that they can get away with the things that HE has done, and still think that we, the citizens of Hempstead will support him. NO WAY!

Because I have respect for all people, I did not post the actual word that RG SMITH Used. He did not use the word "BLACK" but a very derogatory word that starts with an N$@@&R.

SHAME SHAME SHAME - We cannot afford this type of mentality in Waller County, he has done enough damage to the reputation of Hempstead.

My neighbor was so taken back by this idiot, that he told me "Being a dedicated, lifelong Republican for 40 years, he was NOT going to vote a straight ticket, and he would split it and for the first time, vote for a Democrat!. I too, will do the same. I am going to tell everyone that I know, the same thing.
