A Houston police officer who has battled the department's no-beard policy in court for nearly two years said Thursday he hasn't decided his next step after a federal judge threw out his civil rights lawsuit against the HPD and the city of Houston.

OMg people will try and sue over anything now a days

People are just making up rights now. I think its my right to take your tv from your house. I think its my right to take your dog from the back yard. I think its my right that I dont have to pay for my car.

You have the right to , Life, Liberty , Happiness. Everything else you earn

It's the pursuit of happiness. There are no guarantees that you will actually be happy. That's a very important distinction. I think people these days are actually trying to make sure everyone is happy - which obviously is not possible.
