One of the most destructive hidden lessons taught in all public schools is that you have no freedom of association… That you can’t discriminate against people who don’t align with your values.
@CHIMPUSX DPS does NOT play around!
their chase policy is "keep going until you run out of gas, and the next Trooper will take the lead"
they absolutely positively will not stop. ever.
I was lucky enough to find a stray cat that when I had his microchip scanned which had also been turned off at least let me know that he was 9 years old and more than 300 miles away from where you originally had been adopted. Poor guy was out living on the streets the best thing that's ever happened to me
@AustinJustice There might even be aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer charged forthcoming.
A car is a deadly weapon
The police car was ... Clearly a police car.
It is not unusual to charge agg assault w/ deadly weapon like this in texas

@thevivafrei Under Texas law, if convicted, the sentencing range starts at 5 years in prison, and parole eligible after serving half the sentence.
Also, at the punishment phase, defense can present evidence of "sudden passion" which can reduce the case to second degree and probationable
@MaryAnnreports defense goes first??? in what universe does that happen? State gets to close first, then defense closes (if they want) and then the state gets a rebuttal argument.
