BLM / Plano - Disruption and confrontations

[no2gates]

I already know the answer to this, but why the hell arent these people working again? Everything is opened back up

The restaurants are begging for workers. There's lots of jobs, they just don't want to work.

Here's the location, from what I can tell... (I know a LOT of location hints from my job)

Chick-fil-A · 8724 Preston Rd, Plano, TX 75024

★★★★★ · Fast food restaurant

goo.gl

It's right next to a Chick-Fil-A / shopping center, and across from mall on the opposite corner of the highway, so definitely they were strategizing for maximum impact, and that's a VERY high traffic volume location.

Wow that is really close to my old office. Real uppity area with frisco right to the north which is California pt 2.

Maybe we need to send a link to that video to each Republican house and senate member and perhaps there is time in Texas to pass a bill about immunity in this type of situation. Perhaps also get rid of pussy cops not big enough to enforce current law. People with a medical emergency could have died in that situation.

There is a bill in the Texas House now about blocking streets and roadways.

DO WE HAVE LEGAL RIGHTS TO PROTEST BACK AT THEM?? IF NOT, THEN WE CAN CLOSE THE THREAD NOW. THANK YOU. ENJOY YOUR DAY.

We have a new moderator/admin?

Go to the intersection and play country music as loud as possible. They'll go away.

Hand out job applications. Should have a faster time for desired effect.

Hell, that would make me run screaming too.

Well shit when is the next one?? I love to park up on sam rayburn and chuck some frozen water bottles at them

That bill they are discussing, only seems to impose a penalty if they impede an emergency vehicle. That's bullshit in part. No, they shouldn't be allowed to obstruct an emergency vehicle for sure, and yes, it should be a felony with mandatory jail time, but what about the rest of us? We should be blocked from being able to use public roads by protesters? Wrong!

It should be a felony for obstructing traffic, regardless of who it is.

There is already OBSTRUCTING A HIGHWAY which is a Class B Misdemeanor. Blocking a road, street, sidewalk, or anything that the public use to travel is an arrestable offense and while no reasonable cop would wade into a crowd, they should be on the radio calling in the cavalry to get the road open asap and dealing with any immediate threats to safety.

The right to assemble or petition the government does not and should not extend to the denial of others' rights to travel safely.

Serious question for you. At what point do you go from trying to move them off the highway with verbal commands + presence to using force like a nightstick or oc spray?

The elephant in the room is that some of these ass-wipes are armed and seem willing to fire... since it is legal in Texas to carry a long gun in public, nobody wants to confront them for fear of a fire fight.. so what's the solution??

He was the police chief in Amarillo before.. I thought police chiefs came from within the department. Then again I always live out in the country where all we have is the sheriff

 

[Hoji]

Yea, that's re-assuring......

Here is a picture of the Chairman of the Republican Party of Texas

ZOMFG!!! He’s black too!!!!!
Trailer park probably has the “militia” you are looking for. Complete with ceremonial white robes.

Forgive my canned answer, but only when such force was reasonably necessary.

I, as only person, am not going to go to a crowd, tell them to move them go in swinging or spraying. Think about a military force. When there is contact, they do not always engage right away regardless. When I engage I am going to win and I want to set my win up so it isn't a pyrrhic victory where I get the road cleared, just to face an indictment.

Kinda like finding a large car club doing burnouts and donuts in a parking lot. I will call in back-up, make my presence known and work the edges to get them to leave. It isn't reasonable to run start putting people in cuffs, especially when I am alone in a large, hostile group. If someone is getting assaulted or something, sure, I will act NOW to make it stop but short of that I will use the resources available to me like time, distance and additional officers to gain compliance with the law and make arrests as needed.

I will take one bad-ass country sheriff over 5 lame city police chiefs any day.

And they know this. The Mob Rules.

Apparently you can even pull guns and nothing happens. Thus they know make sure to always operate as a large group.

PDs have got to figure out how to stop this. It is only getting worse. But not if PDs and the DOJ think the problem in America is White Supremacists.
