Pimp’s Up Ho’s Down- Dallas SWAT Edition

Consensual crime enforcement eats one of their own today. Dallas SWAT officer Johnny Baker was fired for having sex with a prostitute. Officer Baker is a star of the A&E reality show “Dallas SWAT.”

Mr. Baker and his Dallas SWAT team used millitary force to terrorize citizens engaged in consensual activity. Most notably, they conducted a millitary style invasion of a poker game as part of a misguided SWAT crackdown on Texas Hold Em.

Mr. Baker has denied ever paying for sex and has not been charged with a crime. Hopefully Mr. Baker will have an epiphany that arresting consenting adults should not be the business of millitarized police forces. Gambling, drugs, or whatever Mr. Baker was doing in that hotel room should be legal for consenting adults.
