Citizens with AR-15s Stand Guard Outside Texas Police Departments
Breitbart ^ | 7/11/2016

Posted on 07/11/2016 4:45:07 PM PDT by Altura Ct.

On July 9, two days after the heinous ambush on Dallas police officers, citizens armed with AR-15s stood guard outside various police departments in Texas.

According to the Montgomery County Police Reporter, James Evans, Roger Tarrant, and Paul Wilson went to the Patton Village Police Department with “their AR-15s in hand” and stood guard. They also stood outside the City of Splendora Police Department (SPD), where passing drivers “honked their horns in approval, while others stopped for photos, selfies, and to personally thank them for what they were doing.”

In fact, the men garnered so much support in the form of food and bottled water that they began stacking the food on the hoods of their pickup trucks so well-wishers could see they already had more than they could handle.

Traffic outside SPD became so bad that the department used a Facebook post to urge drivers to keep moving. The post said:

Citizens of the City of Splendora, SPD is aware of the individuals in the front of city hall today. A SPD officer along with outside law enforcement agency officers have already made contact with them. They were not viewed commiting [sic] any criminal offenses. They were very cooperative and understanding when discussed of firearms safety. They showed no danger to any persons when we made contact with them. They are showing support for local law enforcement agencies which is appreciated in this hard time for the State of Texas and the country is going through. For the safety of drivers on roadway, we ask citizens driving by taking pictures to not stop in roadway due to it can cause a traffic hazard or wreck. Thank you to our great city and east Montgomery county for the positive support.

Evans said he just “wanted to show police that civilians stood by them, that they aren’t alone.” He added, “I am tired of seeing officers slain for doing their job.”

This is exactly what it’s going to take to send the message that we won’t back down either.

I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in
the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American
character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch — The enemy is
receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or
four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am
determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a
soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his
country —

Victory or Death.

William Barrett Travis.

Lt. Col. comdt.

Good Job Tx! Man up!

Putting themselves on the frontlines.
Police stations and after today’s news out of Michigan, they may have to protect courtrooms.

I support what they’re trying to do and love the message it sends both wayz...to the police, we are with you. To the BLM, get past us first.

Problem...as soon as there is an incident and one of these guyz end up cappin a thug...they will be wrestled to the ground with several muzzles pointed at them, handcuffed and tossed in jail.

OUTSTANDING!!!! This is what I am talking about, and it sends a message to the BLM and their various factions.

Don’t Tread on Me and Don’t Mess with Texas.

I commend their efforts and am behind them 100%. I know it’s semantics but these officers are civilians as well ala civilians that are sworn in or civil servants; big difference

There were some on FR arguing that the man legally carrying a long guns at the BLM protest (whose photo was released by DPD) in Dallas on Thursday was wrong. I bet they are tripping over themselves to applaud this. The same right secures both behaviors.
