      Texas is a big place, a lot of greedy ignorant sour people there, but a lot a good people too. Same can be said for anywhere it’s just Texas is big and there is a lot of wealth there.

        Well, it’s more about the people in charge doing the right thing regarding the police, not about the citizens.

        I didn’t even know we had a dedicated police oversight org. I always thought it was just a function of the state troopers.

      which makes me wonder what other heinous shit this crooked department did - look at texas, lol… look at ken paxton alone… I’ll bet there’s a lot more stuff they’re hoping to bury.

      And right there between Waco, Tyler, and Dallas?! Talk about a part of Texas that LOVES punishing the poor and mentally unstable. It used to make me so sad to drive to visit my siblings at Baylor; there’s this strange cult-vibe you get where people get more holier-than-thou while more openly advocating for killing unhoused people, and cheering when they see someone in tattered clothes getting arrested.
