If you have the stomach to watch the pinhead Union President whine about being sick and tired...the video is in the link.On Monday afternoon, around 5:00 pm, a dozen SWAT team members with Houston’s narcotics department, along with six other patrol officers descended on a Pecan Park home to serve a search warrant. According to police, their undercover agents had purchased black tar heroin from the home several times before the raid.
As police approached the door, however, the suspects inside opened fire and 4 of the officers were shot. Another officer injured his knee during the raid, but was not shot. During the exchange, the two suspects were both shot and killed.
After the raid, Houston police chief Art Acevedo and the Texas governor issued statements decrying the “horrific attack” on police officers and “asked for prayers.”
After the governor and the chief issued their statements of support for the officers and asked folks to keep them in their thoughts, Houston Police Officers’ Union President Joe Gamaldi went on the offensive, noting that “we’ve had enough!”
“We are sick and tired of dirt bags trying to take our lives when all we’re trying to do is protect this community and our families,” he said. “Enough is enough.”
While it is entirely acceptable for an officer to be angry and voice their opinion about criminals who try to shoot them, Gamaldi then took it a step further and went after people who may just be critical of police. He then threatened that they will be “tracking” these people who are critical of cops.
“If you’re the ones that are out there spreading the rhetoric that police officers are the enemy, just know we’ve all got your number now, we’re going to be keeping track of all of y’all, and we’re going to make sure that we hold you accountable every time you stir the pot on our police officers. We’ve had enough, folks. We’re out there doing our jobs every day, putting our lives on the line for our families.”
Dirt bags?
Seems like there's a lot of dehumanizing language being tossed around these days. Perhaps identity politics doesn't have a positive outcome after all?
