Yeesh! What a bunch of entitled, fat ass geezers with expensive toys on our expense. I’m talking about the cops.
Oh, and I don’t want to hear another word about how great Texas is. Texas is just like every other state. All fifty states are full of little tyrants. Close your eyes. Go out into public. Open them. Somewhere near you is a tyrant.

I’ll vouch for Idaho. Having little tyrants that is.

The good people here in Texas are being replaced by the same kinds who are changing other states.
Our Republican leaders have been very good at attracting businesses to move to Texas, bringing their liberal/progressive agendas and employees with them.
I anticipate Texas turning blue in less than a decade. I’m leaving when it falls to the domestic enemies of liberty and freedom.

Texas is home to the Shrub clan. And did Waco twice. What ELSE would you expect of them???

Some wag called these guys, “Meal Team Six.”
I think the term should be spread far and wide.
These guys deserve to be widely ridiculed and criticized.

June J. That is precisely what is happening to Idaho.

@June J,
Sorry, but I don’t buy it, any more than I believe that the anti-constitutional carry Sheriffs in Alabama are ones who came from NY, or the anti-constitutional carry Sheriffs in NC are from out of state. “Boss Hogg” lives everywhere. They would have done this without an influx of people from California.
Tyrants live among us. They do in Texas too.

At some point, there will be no place to run to. At some point, a stand will be necessary.

At least some “conservatives” are starting to wake up about modern police forces.

If they keep playing army, the other side might be tempted to play insurgents.
These law enforcement officials are clearly and without question violating the constitution; a document many of us swore to defend against all enemies foreign and domestic. It would be best if the federal government brought charges against them before helpless citizens have to resort to defending themselves against tyranny.

You may want to consider leaving before then. Trying to become part of a community takes time (years in most cases).
When things get fugly, strangers will not be as welcome and you may find yourself not being trusted, or worse. We moved to the “right place” eight years ago and it took about four years to become a local.

Is that an automatic weapon being brandished up in the turret? Who the hell are they expecting, ISIS? Someone needs to clue the donut commandos that fat bastards in body armor looking effing rediculous. I swear, rolling an MRAP to an American protest is the biggest dick measuring contest I’ve seen in CONUS. Nice movement of the security contractors-reminds me of a bunch of wannabes that couldn’t make the cut for a real military unit.

FWIW, here’s a link to an interactive map of military gear given to police departments. Enter the zip code and the list comes up below the map:

Herschel I agree.
Everywhere, under every label, you can find power hungry tiny tyrants looking for an excuse to exert their power over their fellow Americans.
Remember their actions not their lies.
An MRAP against seven citizens?
Overkill much?
That plate carrier on Big Boy #2 looks like it’s covering about 20% of his bulk, just remember he’s carrying his own ballistic protection.
In the Nuclear industry he’d be referred to as “a moveable biological shield”.

The good fellows in law enforcement are probably following the script from this 2003 made for tv movie:

Nothing to worry about

@Kaiserworks, Great find. This is fantastic. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry but yep, it’s probably nothing.
