The fact that Medea even bothered to discuss this with Texan policemen is yet another proof that she's permanently resident on Planet Zongo.
I don't think the story of Medea and company setting the police on the FReepers was about todays event, but some earlier one that Dr. R had participated in. As it turned out, only the Anti's ended up being frisked for weapons. :) We are the good guys, and the police know it.
