I think you might have experienced a transplant cop episode .... we have “texas” cops that are Texans and Texas cops that came here from liberal third world shitty cities. The “transplant cops” being unable to shake off old unconstitutional ways . We had one of such in our small town department ..... he tried to bring “all he ran away from” with him ..... he was run out of town eventually.
Congrats on the new grandchild.
Hopefully it was upside down while hanging from a fence rail.
