I smell typical cops. They don’t care about parties. In fact, I doubt the majority even vote. And if they do, they don’t know what they’re voting for. Believe me, I grew up with cops in the family. The ones I knew were dumb as hell.

What needs to be done in this situation is people need to get elected to the city council and fire the chief. And make sure his replacement knows the constitution and intends to explain it to his cops.

If you are carrying a rifle around, I am going to think you are nuts.

I believe it is legal under Texas Law. Thus in your senario
the law must be wrong?

Is that correct?

I believe that the AG can yank the Chief's law enforcement certification. I'm certainly going to encourage Abbott to do that.

I’ll give them a call, too. This is Texas FGS!

Good deal, Basil. Thank you.

Tell me about it. I got arrested for three trumped up charges-Fail to carry ID (I was on foot demonstrating Abbott’s SILENCE on immigration), Disobey officer (I refused to sit on the ground as COMMANDED) & a jaywalk. all of these dismissed. I had to get an ACLU attorney to represent me on this false arrest at the hands of a METRO officer. We await their response. Conservative judges apparently gave us the Ruling in Atwater (TX CASE) where a mother and her kids were not wearing seatbelts. She gets taken to jail. As a result of conservative ruling in this SCOTUS case cops can now arrest for throwing bubblegum out of a car window. it was a BAD THING!

Texas has always had it's share of corrupt law enforcement. These days, though, like you see on this thread, there is an organized effort to contact the AG about it. This problem will get sorted out. Gregg Abbott is pro open carry, and doesn't put up with BS by law enforcement.

When the Feds were doing the stop and swab roadblock in Ft. Worth, the FWPD chief got whacked pretty hard and publicly apologized for allowing his personnel to get involved with that.

Lots of Texas Freepers sent emails and sent phone calls over that issue, too.

Now that there is enough blue in Texas they can start creeping their leftist/globalist agenda. If we let them get away with changing culture like this it’s all over. These directives are probably coming down from Holder himself.

Abbott’s SILENCE on immigration

You are barking up the wrong tree on that. Abbott has filed a brief with the Supreme Court, supporting Arizona's position on enforcing immigration laws.

“Texas needs to get its house in order.”

I personally know two flaming libs who moved,from MA,to Midland-Odessa a few years back.

I hope Texas doesn’t go the same way NH has.

Texas is actually better today than it was in the '70s on stuff like this. And much better than when Lyndon embarrassed us all.

Don't color Texas blue just yet.

“What the hell is going on in Texas these days? Are the “steers” outnumbered now?”

There are a lot of statists in high places. There are a lot of people who have been lied to by the old media. There are a fair number that are waking up and trying to wake up the rest. We are winning in Texas, but it is not a sure thing, and good Texans can use all the support they can get.

Amen!! Bump!

If you are carrying a rifle around, I am going to think you are nuts. I bet many people called the police on him.

So? What he was doing was perfectly legal. One hundred percent legal. Who gives a crap how many people called the police? That's a separate thing.

The cops' job is to uphold the law. The cops' actions were in direct violation of the law.

Pretty black and white.

Thank you for the ping and post.

Purge the jack-booted thugs.

I’m not sure I want to go to the shoot if the cops are going to steal our guns from us. We have some VERY expensive pieces, and replacing them would cost us a pretty penny.

That would be the definition of "conservative" that means "to protect from harm or decay." These judges are all for using law enforcement to protect "immoral" people from harming or decaying themselves.

Not to be confused with the definition of "conservative" that means "to use sparingly." THIS variety of conservative judge would have ruled in favor of limiting the reach of government, hence a mom whose kids weren't wearing seatbelts would be, horror of horrors, left to run wild and propagate! Chaos would ensue as people, even children, went riding around in cars with no seatbelts. That's the kind of thing that happens when you use government sparingly, you know!!!!

Yep. Thanks for reposting that. I'll be making an inquiry at the AG's office, as well.
