You might have heard of the fuss over the batshit-crazy polygamists in Texas and how the cops raided their compound on allegations of child abuse. I haven't been paying much attention to it and, as I haven't watched the TV news in many days, I've seen no footage or photographs of the raid.
Tamara has. And she picked up on something: The cops in Texas showed up with armored vehicles. Including the Midland Sheriff's Department, which brought their M-113 APC a couple hundred miles so they could play sojer. Midland County has about 100,000 people spread out over about 900 square miles. What the hell are they doing with tracked and armored vehicles? As far as I can tell, there were no credible allegations that those folks were stockpiling guns; the press reports mentioned nothing more than some hunting rifles and for damn sure, there have been no photos of grinning cops standing behind tables laden with confiscated firearms.
Look at the third photo in the sequence in the CNN story. It shows a cop in woodland camo getup perched between two sand-colored rocks. Great concealment, he might as well have a sign over his head saying "Shoot Me."
Are you getting the feeling that the cops now regard the citizenry as enemies?

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

...and they can't find the girl who called them in to begin with.
ReplyDeleteFishy.
Don't get me wrong -- I think child-raping polygamists ought to be clubbed like seals, but I'm seeing probably cause falling by the wayside.
Cranky, that is indeed curious.
