The Police State Of Texas

Greg Abbott's embrace of authoritarianism paints a picture where no one in Texas is safe.

By now, I’m sure you’ve heard about what happened yesterday on the UT Austin campus. There are plenty of clips of police brutality floating around, including their brutalization and arrest of the Austin Fox affiliate’s reporters. So, I’ll spare you the trauma of reposting them, but we all must understand what happened yesterday and why.

First, it’s essential to know that the protest being held at UT Austin was to feature speakers and would have included a pizza party and arts and crafts tables.

My buddy Mark was drinking in a Austin Texas tavern and this guy came up bought a drink and reached in his pocket to pay for it and didn't have any money. Mark paid for his drink-after the bartender called the police on him.
Long story short-
My friend spent a night in jail for buying a drink for a guy.
Texas has been a police state for quite a while. Not going to get any better until they vote out all those crazy ass Xtian Republicants.

3. On the same note

In Texas, if you're drinking a beer in your plate glass window in your front room and people on the street can see you you can be arrested for drinking in public. In your own home. Land of the Free my ass.
