Citizens with AR-15s Stand Guard Outside Texas Police Departments
Breitbart ^ | 7/11/2016

Posted on 07/11/2016 4:45:07 PM PDT by Altura Ct.

On July 9, two days after the heinous ambush on Dallas police officers, citizens armed with AR-15s stood guard outside various police departments in Texas.

According to the Montgomery County Police Reporter, James Evans, Roger Tarrant, and Paul Wilson went to the Patton Village Police Department with “their AR-15s in hand” and stood guard. They also stood outside the City of Splendora Police Department (SPD), where passing drivers “honked their horns in approval, while others stopped for photos, selfies, and to personally thank them for what they were doing.”

In fact, the men garnered so much support in the form of food and bottled water that they began stacking the food on the hoods of their pickup trucks so well-wishers could see they already had more than they could handle.

Traffic outside SPD became so bad that the department used a Facebook post to urge drivers to keep moving. The post said:

Citizens of the City of Splendora, SPD is aware of the individuals in the front of city hall today. A SPD officer along with outside law enforcement agency officers have already made contact with them. They were not viewed commiting [sic] any criminal offenses. They were very cooperative and understanding when discussed of firearms safety. They showed no danger to any persons when we made contact with them. They are showing support for local law enforcement agencies which is appreciated in this hard time for the State of Texas and the country is going through. For the safety of drivers on roadway, we ask citizens driving by taking pictures to not stop in roadway due to it can cause a traffic hazard or wreck. Thank you to our great city and east Montgomery county for the positive support.

I'm sure there's exceptions, but try this in downtown Houston in front of the police station. Hell, the thugs wouldn't even have to show up and they'll jail ya. Pretty sure Dallas or anywhere around Dallas today, pull up and unload a bunch of guyz with AR’s. You won't be welcomed.

Right now, with the police being attacked on all sides, standing up for them is being appreciated.

Depends on where you’re at I reckon. Small towns across America you’d probably be well received if the group let them know they are coming ahead of time.

Major urban areas....not so much. I gotta crisp $100 bill sayz you’d be disarmed and told to go away.

God never blessed any created entity yet because of deserving — but because of mercy and grace.

Because it deserves it?

Or because it needs it?

If the slightest hint of the former, that is deadly, deadly pride.

Obviously you don’t know Montgomery County. They’d get a no billed grand jury and walk

Driving through Hartford, CT, a digital billboard displayed this ad

I understand the LAMAR adv. company has taken a lot of heat for their PSAs on this. LAMAR is based in Baton Rouge

>>Obviously you don’t know Montgomery County.<<

Obviously not. Oh, did I mention, I'm a resident? Did I happen to mention, Slendora is a hop and a skip?

Splendora is a small community and receptive to locals with firearms.

You know as well as I, these same fellas show up in front of the Houston police dept. with those pieces of iron and they'll not be well received.
