Political Divisions

"The censor believes that he can hold back the mighty traffic of life with a tin whistle and a raised right hand. For after all, it is life with which he quarrels." -- Heywood Broun

"To freemen, threats are impotent. [Lat., Nulla enim minantis auctoritas apud liberos est.]"
-- Marcus Tullius Cicero

"Political tags -- such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth -- are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire." -- Robert A. Heinlein

* A now-former Rosebud Texas police officer has been sentenced to 15 years in prison on a felony assault conviction for when he was caught on a state police officer’s dashcam choking a 17-year-old boy on the side of the road who was never charged with a crime, apparently just because the officer didn’t like the way he answered a question about his stalled-out car.

* A Sequin Texas police officer has resigned after being indicted for soliciting a girl under the age of 17 for sex via text messages and then attempting to cover up the attempt by deleting the messages.

* A Dallas Texas police officer is on administrative leave while he’s under investigation over a fatal accident where he crashed into a stalled vehicle while allegedly speeding on the way to a non-emergency call without his lights or siren and killed the 69-year-old man who was in the vehicle.
