Apparently not you...I have seen just about everything you’ve posted in your short tenure here on Free Republic...
So anyone who doesn’t know the Texas Penal Code cover to cover, are people that do not know what they are talking about??? Boy is that a gotcha if there ever was one...
Anyone else that has engaged you doesn’t have all the facts, yet you boldly make your own suppositions and we are supposed to just take your word for it??? hehehe, prove it...You claim to be a reserve Peace Officer in this state...Most Law Enforcement professionals I know, don’t write comments in the tone you are doing here...
As for my opinion of the kid here, I believe he was wrong in his methodology, and he was appropriately cited for it, something else is obviously happening here, and will come around with time...This will hash itself out with time...
But back to you...I’m not attacking you, I’m calling you out...
Telling someone they do not have all the facts, and that they do not have the background information doesn’t mean that your keyboard quarterbacking of this is any more credible, especially when you are in the same information loop as we are...
I seriously doubt that your tone will change if you choose to explain your reasoning in response to me, by all means prove me wrong...
I’m just giddy with excitement to see what you have in store for us...
I don’t quite understand the hostility in your post.
I have never said that anyone had to know the Penal Code cover to cover to know what they are talking about. However, only an idiot would post those signs or paint a mural without checking the local laws first.
I have been very clear, if you actually read my posts, that I don’t know all of the facts and that we should wait for ALL of the facts. Apparently you missed the fact that I have been debating a single person and only stated that this one person did not know the facts. I’ve been responding back and forth with the same person, unless you missed that. I was not condemning all of the freepers, by any means.
And yes, anyone that makes automatic assumptions that the cops were wrong and this is a pro-obama conspiracy by the cops is spouting off rhetoric and not the facts (ie. they don’t know what they are talking about). That behavior makes all conservatives/freepers look irrational and look like we are just looking for an excuse to pick a fight.
However, it is appropriate for me to point out that there are differences in the law, the level of legal enforcement, and the differences in city ordinances. It is also appropriate to point out that extentuating circumstances could be at play here.
You claim your calling me out, but really you missed the point. I never once claimed that either the activist or the cops were at fault. I never made any assumptions of that sort. I consistently stated that we should wait for the facts, but as is, there seems to be more to this story. As a matter of default, since we have only heard from the activist and not a single bystander, cop, or city official, we have NOT, by definition, heard the whole story.
As to my tone being unlike the cops you know; well I’m sorry that I don’t fit the mold, but if you look at my profile, I am a reserve officer if my spare time and a accountant in my full-time. I’ve been through basic and advance SWAT schools and I’m an EMT. I seriously doubt you know too many cops that have my specific background, but it is what it is.
