“First, the Chief told my deputy that while the weapon drawn wasn’t a pistol, it was, in fact, a “pepper ball gun.” In a separate conversation, the Chief claimed it was a “taser.” In a recent Facebook post, the Department is now saying it was a “electronic control device.” Paxton said. “Whatever it was, the police declined to pursue the leftist who brandished the weapon, and no charges are being pressed against him.”

Paxton continued, “Second, the Chief was anxious to excuse the rioters. “You have to understand the situation.” urged the Chief. “We have to negotiate with these people. Do you expect us to mass arrest the protesters? You know that’s not going to happen.”


Maybe the Plano police chief should be looking for another line of employment

Citizens need to provide top cover.

The protests are well advertised so providing "overwatch" shouldn't be too difficult.

If only the snowflakes in their cars could have gotten a pair and formed up with the big guy there would have been enough to shut down the BLM protest and cleared the street.

What is Paxton going to do about it? These incidents will continue to happen if nothing is changed.

We have to negotiate with these people.

No, actually you don't.

Do you expect us to mass arrest the protesters?

Yes, we do because that's your job. Borrow some prison buses from the DOC and make the protesters pee just a little. Half of them have probably been on a prison bus before or know someone who has. Then you take them to the county lockup for booking.(and if you happen to be able to drive past a prison along the way...) Make their bail $1,000,000 to start. Yes, they'll get a bail hearing in a day or three and it will be lowered.

Conservative States need to revisit sentencing guidelines for blocking a highway. First offense, 30 days. Second offense, 90 days, third, 180 and fourth, a year and one day aka minimum State prison sentence. That's how you stop this stupid shit.

Texas Attorney General Paxton needs to do more than just “get involved”.

Issue an arrest warrant for the Plano police chief. Charge him with malfeasance, misfeasance, nonfeasance, dereliction of duty, public endangerment, stealing oxygen, giving aid and comfort to a domestic enemy (BLM terrorists).

The scene made it look like the nearest State Cop was 500 miles away.

Yes, that is exactly what I expect you stupid cretin.

Plano is one of those places where they will pull you over for going 2mph over the speed limit. You see, arresting people is going to cost them money, while shaking down motorists is just another form of taxation.

The modern day highwaymen don't want to do anything that might impact their ability to make their daily quotas.
