Straight From The Ector County Sheriff

“Why do you want to use intimidation as a way to keep law enforcement from doing what we’re supposed to do,” Griffis said.
Because if this is what you think you’re supposed to do, you don’t understand or believe in your oath of office. You’re dishonest and dishonorable, and so are your deputies.

Not Boss Hogg. Sheriff Roscoe P Coltrane.

Look, when Law Enforcement is just doing its job, you get on the railcar, ok, it’s not hard, it’s for your own safety and the safety of the Officers, and it’s the Law. Just get on the train.

An MRAP.
For seven individuals.
Finally got a chance to use his federally funded toy in the intimidation of citizens.

When citizens use it on cops, it’s intimidation.
When cops use it on citizens, it’s ‘exuding command presence’.

So Sheriff Muffin was actually just keeping people safe. Not looking for any excuse to roll in with the military gear in their MRAP and hopefully shoot the bad people bearing “automatic weapons.”
And Sheriff Creosote is threatening to take away a business owner’s liquor license. Business owners there must feel so safe. I hope they show his how safe in the next election.
Incidentally, Trump reversed restrictions on military hardware for these awesomely trained police.

Do all Southern cops look like they’re training for “MY 600# Life?”

Scary that this sheriff thought that what they were doing was law enforcement. It was in fact a heavy handed jack booted move, reminiscent of totalitarian regime tactics. What ever happened to just talking to folks?? Anyway, I may be old and slow, but I think I could out run those two hefty ol boys…

Not knocking vets, but this looked just like a scene from an embedded journalist in a warzone.
Phil Carson would have a pretty different reply, methinks.

“This is not a Second Amendment protest”
Does it have to be, in order to bear arms?
TABC is silly. And if those guys were on private property, all those deputies should be fired and their boss Hogg fired too.

Fattest job in the USA. I thank the Gods every day that most coproaches are ill-disciplined, poor marksmen, scared of their own (large) shadows, and low IQ. What would America’s police state look like if the government thugs were smart, fit, disciplined and wily? What if they conducted their counterinsurgency like they meant it?
I remember an armed bureaucrat made the allegation that they are fat because of a “stressful” job. If that is true, why is it that we armed legions in combat zones in neo-imperialist shit-pits planet-wide weren’t shaped like blimps?
He had no response.
What would Michael Collins do?

Sure glad this is America!!! This shit happened in Fallujah, the insurgents would have set up to be behind the infidels. After the last ‘man’ was past the MRAP, the guy in the turret would have been capped, maybe with subsonic ammunition from maybe a couple of blocks away. Then, start taking out the rest of the ‘invaders’ with shots right where the spinal cord meets the cranium. The behind-most first, then work their way up the column to the guy at the very front. With good planning and discipline, the guy in front wouldn’t even know he was advancing by himself. But this is America, where we respect and adore pigs…. er, cops…… who do so much for us.

MRAP + Bar = crispy critters
Just gotta use your imagination. Nothing will clear someone out of an armored vehicle faster than a few well mixed cocktails.
