FBI, Texas Rangers raid Precinct 2 constable's office, home

[DoubleDuty]

They don't do traffic stops in Collin County thank goodness

Our Constable came in for a chat today.....Stetson, pressed white shirt, blue jeans, badge on leather belt with a 1911 on the other side and his full quill ostrich boots.......

The ostrich boots seem a bit flashy, but overall that sounds much more constabley.

Flashy?

 

[V-Tach]

I don't consider mine....flashy........

But concede some may think that....

 

[TheDan]

Flashy?

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Back in the 80's, in Houston city limits, the sheriff and constables would both vie to be selected by my homeowner association for contracted neighborhood patrol. The constable was selected one year and the sheriff promptly abandoned service of any kind. He said, 'any crime, let the constable handle it'.

I've seen several cases in the cities in TX where I've lived that the various LEO agencies hate each other. At least Houston eventually got rid of their City Marshals.

I lived in a rural county where the Sheriff Dept only serviced the area surrounding the county seat. We were the 2nd largest town in the county but at the opposite end and they were never to be seen unless a wreck occurred in a rural area. We had our city police and the two agencies despised each other. The major FM roads were deemed highways so we'd see the same 2 or 3 Highway Patrols traveling those routes. Enough to the point where I was pulled over by the same patrolwoman twice in 10+ years.

Full quill used to be the sign of someone with money to spend and no work to do.

I never heard that.
I've been wearing full quill for 40 years.

We all know you have no work to do

So you’ve had too much money for 40 years?

 

[ZX9RCAM]

So you’ve had too much money for 40 years?

I guess according to some.

3 of my 4 pair are full quill.

 

[TxStetson]

I guess according to some.

3 of my 4 pair are full quill.

So that means you’ve had 3 times too much money.

 

[SQLGeek]

I'm glad we figured this out.

Cam still wants to know what gun was used in Odessa though.

Maybe, until you consider my oldest pair of boots is 40+ years old.
I wear boots every day.
How many pairs of shoes would that take most people.

 

[V-Tach]

Boots can be re-soled/heeled many times..........

Most shoes are disposable............I do have an older pair of wing tips that have been re-soled...........yeah, I know wing tips = old geezer.....

 

[oldag]

I have more miles on some of my boots than most people ever put on a car.

Half soles and heel caps...

 

[TxStetson]

GOOD Boots can be re-soled/heeled many times..........
