Not a Texan, not a deputy, but as an active duty Sailor who recently was tasked with coordinating the memorial service for a fellow sailor who took his life, I find her dismissive excuse disgraceful.
Yes, her remarks were distasteful. However, I have a not “so high” opinion of people who take their own lives.

Agree, sounded somewhat like a ‘cheap shot’.
I was wondering what the WHITE POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION had to say about her conduct.
MLK TRIED to ‘teach’ us that a Cop is a Cop, a Sailor a Sailor, a Marine a Marine etc etc his color or ethnicity not withstanding.
Was wondering if the Deceased was a Catholic and what is the Catholic Churches stance on funerals for ‘certain causes of death’.
I seem to remember at one time the Church was not prone to ‘celebrate’ the death by suicide, apparently the same stance the Sheriff took....
It was a disgrace.
The man was obviously jacked up. And apparently the office didn’t intervene.
Then to deny him a basic Officers funeral service...that’s just a damn disgrace.
