I don’t understand the “I didn’t have a radio” excuse that’s clearly being offered as an explanation for Arredondo claiming ignorance of the 911 calls. Even if he showed up without one, did none of the hundred other cops who showed up in the next hour have a radio, either?

This right here is what should immediately stick out to everyone, yeah Arredondo should get the loving book thrown at him, but that right there should even lead to more heads to the chopping block.

This lady working in agriculture for probably next to nothing and no benefits, versus the mediocre shitlord getting guaranteed overtime and a pension for a job that is essentially bullying poor people for a living.

This isn't really strictly texpol but I thought swears would appreciate it. I never had anything this extreme happen to me but they were always trying to do these little object lessons at us



going back a bit but this reminds me of when my older sister was at summer church camp as a young teen in the 90s they put them in the back of a uhaul trailer in the Texas heat and drove around a bit as an object lesson "on what hell is like" which is not only not really biblically sound, but also what the gently caress are they going to do when one of these kids gets a heat injury for their stupid loving lesson? It still makes me mad when I think of it and I tell my parents they should have chewed some asses over it but they're churchy boomers so welp.

I think they're a bit worse than normal. Not a lot, but a bit. And of course, that's on top of being an overpaid, overarmed small-town police force, so they're not used to having any semblance of accountability or scrutiny. This is probably the first time many of them have ever had to worry much about what they say or do in a long while. Local government has nothing to really keep its police forces in line or under control, so they're free to become like this.

A bigger town would have police who are either better at lying to the media or maybe one of the many measures taken to try to be ready for a shooter would've sunk in so they wouldn't have to cover their fat asses.

I mean once you actually get out of San Antonio or Austin, the IH-35 corridor isn't so bad. Busy, sure, but not horrible. Though it does help to know the places where it tends to slow down. I can't see how an underground version of the same tunnel, but only for Tesla's self-driving firebomb cars, would actually help.

Ugh, it absolutely wouldn't be properly engineered I bet. You'd end up with something like the suicide off-ramp for the Tanger/San Marcos outlet malls near me. Where crazy people come barrelling down an off-ramp trying to desperately slow from highway speeds, dodge the people on the access roads and then pull into a driveway in too short of a space...all while people exiting said driveway dodge people using the access road to accelerate up a too near onramp onto the freeway.
