Transcribed 911 calls reveal that San Marcos police officials refused multiple requests for assistance from a Biden campaign bus that was being harassed on the road by a so-called Trump train, even as other jurisdictions agreed to help.

The transcriptions were included in the amended lawsuit against the police officials filed by those who were inside the bus at the time of the incident, The Texas Tribune reported.

In October of last year, a Biden campaign event was canceled after a caravan of Trump supporters surrounded a campaign bus and attempted to force it to stop in the middle of the highway or run it off the road. Former President Trump at the time retweeted a video of the incident on his now-banned Twitter account, writing, “I LOVE TEXAS!”

Actually, I am friends with a cop on one of those forces. His department outside Dallas was asked for volunteers to escort Biden. Not one f***ing officer volunteered.

Well none of the video I saw showed anyone trying to run the bus off the road or stop it…

Maybe it did happen but would assume if it had video would have been posted by the folks on the bus showing it, and nothing I saw remotely looked like that.

I recall a Biden supporter trying to change lanes into a Trump supporter.

Didn’t Biden have Secret Service by then?

I’m sure Secret Service was present, but they do like to have local law enforcement present, for jurisdictional issues and just for extra bodies. And it’s great optics for a degenerate Communist to be seen with a big entourage of cops indicating their readiness to be his goons.

Biden was not on the bus. I don’t think that he was even expected to attend the planned event. The headline is misleading, probably purposefully.

They claimed that the police wouldn’t help and I can’t picture them telling the Secret Service “No.” That was the thought process behind the question.

“… and attempted to force it to stop in the middle of the highway or run it off the road. ”

Only the willfully ignorant, I mean Dims, believe this crap.

It wasn’t Biden’s bus. He wasn’t on it. Just a Biden bus

The pickup was already beside him/her…she sideswiped it, plain and simple.

I hope it goes to court and he/she loses their licence for being a paranoid dumb ass.

Really? The SS wants local officers mucking up their operations? I doubt it.
