  1. Somewhat satisfying buuut:

    >”While the City of San Marcos continues to deny many of the allegations in the lawsuit, the City of San Marcos Police Department’s response did not reflect the Department’s high standards for conduct and attention to duty,”

    Not directly related but illustrative of the climate- The **official** Texas GOP response to the incident:

    >Abby Livingston from The Texas Tribune reached out to the RPT today and asked a question about a Biden campaign bus in her attempt to portray conservatives as violent radicals, even though it is leftists from **Antifa** and **BLM** who have been assaulting, robbing, and looting fellow citizens and their property.

    >Below is Chairman Allen West’s response:

    >“Three Trump supporters have been executed, one in Portland, one in Denver, and one Milwaukee. A leftist mob attempted to storm the house of the McCloskeys, threatened to burn their house down, rape Mrs. McCloskey, and then kill them both.

    >Where is the liberal corporate media’s concern about that real violence? Additionally, none of what your question implies is accurate. It is more fake news and propaganda.

    >Prepare to lose…stop bothering me. Maybe **Soros** can cut y’all another check in 2022.”

  2. > The transcription shows that Daenzer said the Biden bus should “drive defensively and it’ll be great.”

    > “Or leave the train,” the 911 dispatcher responds. “There’s an idea.”

    I was under the impression that the bus was being followed and harrassed wherever it went in the area, so this is basically like someone being chased by an attacker calling 911 and being told by dispatch “oh, just stop being chased”.

  3. It’s not enough. The city will move on with few lessons learned.

  4. Texas’ current leadership encourages this kind of state sponsored terrorism. Imagine the lack of response local San Marcos residents must experience regularly. At the end of the day there were Texans on that bus and their politics cannot play a factor in whether or not they are deserving of police protection against harassment.

  5. San Marcos failed at their job. PERIOD

    But then they are also going out of their way to try prevent students at Texas State Univ. from voting. Students sued last year. San Marcos said that the voting center would only be open for a few hours…did not go well for the State.

  6. I wish they would have gone all Mad Max/007 on those assholes… bus pops out knives from the wheels, drops an oil slick, rolls coal in 270 degree arc, shoots exploding darts and then little windows appear with guns sticking out in all directions. Fuck that caravan. I can’t believe they got away with it.

  7. Well there it is a piece of good news in these dark times.

  8. I drive through the area at least twice a week. Guys with Tic Tacs for dicks are always trying to run people off the road with their ~~Eco~~Ego Boost trucks, so they probably just thought it was another Tuesday.

  9. Reminds me of that stupid boat parade on Lake Travis, Trump supporters flying lots of Trump flags on their boats, wakes swamping some of them,glug,glug, glug.

  10. Sucks that the taxpayers are going to have to pay for this, and the cops responsible (also costing the tax payer) will suffer no consequences.

  11. When Democrats are less inclined to ‘back the blue’ this pathetic and unAmerican response is exactly why. The corruption and rot within a lot of America’s LEO’s is abhorrent.

  12. Every single police officer who failed to give assistance belongs in jail forever.

  13. So Republican terrorists got away with it, and foisted the penalty off on taxpayers. Well done, fascists!

  14. Again, LEOs will face no real monetary or employment related consequences other than “retraining”.

  15. Those sure sound like consequences until you read that the officers involved didn’t receive any kind of reprimand and remain employed by the PD. That’ll show them….

  16. Sending cops to sensitivity training, or really any training, is money wasted

  17. That was chilling, I remember watching it on socials. Fascism had come to America.

  18. This is another reason why Texas should be stripped of the motto “Don’t mess with Texas.” The first reason was Uvalde.

  19. The individual people named in the suit should also have to pay that $100,000 to each person on that bus.

  20. If democrats suddenly started utilizing stand your ground laws we’d either break out in civil war or this shit would stop happening so much. You ever see a maga hat and think “don’t mess with them, they’re crazy and they might shoot you”? Works both ways.
