Dallas Co. sheriff's officers entered quarantined apartment

Five members of the Dallas County Sheriff's Department who were briefly inside the apartment where a man with Ebola stayed have been temporarily put on leave.

"They're very concerned," said Christopher Dyer, president of the Dallas County Sheriff's Association. "Their families are concerned. You've got to go home and tell your spouse, 'Hey, I was just inside this house where a guy had Ebola.'"

The three deputies, a sergeant, and a lieutenant accompanied the head of Dallas County Health and Human Services Department and a doctor into the apartment late Wednesday night. They had gone there on the orders of Sheriff Lupe Valdez to get the people inside to sign a court order forbidding them from leaving the apartment.

Dyer said deputies should never have been involved to begin with, because he considers it a federal issue and not a local matter.

"My concern is for the deputies and their families, and I want to see Dallas County do everything that they can to alleviate their concerns," Dyer said.

The deputies are expected to return to work in a few days, Dyer said.

She didn't want to get infected you see. Wonder what time they made it back to the Sheriff's office and handed her that document? Just morbid curiosity.

“Did they touch the pen used to sign the document?”

They probably supplied the pen and put it back in in their pocket.

Very good question.

The latter would be the most reasoned.

Exactly - a perfectly natural thing to do. LEOs are big on documentation and they use pens frequently. And they are often gracious in the sharing of their pens with others.

I would imagine the experts will say that there is only a very low probability that active virus was gathered by these early responders.

Nothing like a deadly disease in a country full or MORONS.

Should be fun to watch.

If nothing else, this entire situation in Dallas tells us that if this thing does get 'into the wild' here, there will be NO stopping it! (assuming it hasn't gotten loose already)

I see it as a VERY reasonable assumption that it HAS gotten loose here already. There just needs to be a couple weeks time for it to be confirmed. With the rampant stupidity displayed daily now, does anyone feel safe from ebola and that things are just dandy?

“Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez was hospitalized last night for high fever and back pain, her reelection campaign manager said at a luncheon she was supposed to attend today.”

Rut Roh (you’d have to know who Scooby Doo is to understand that text)

A friend f mine has been saying this ebola will be the emergence of police state policies. I thought he was exaggerating. But, if this is a Federal Issue then all that Homeland security ammo is gonna come in real handy....

Very true! When it does happen, no one will truly know where it started either. This guy in Dallas essentially turned himself in.

The person that gets it, has no idea, spreads it, and dies somewhere is the one that’s gonna get us.

Worse yet.... Imagine if a group of Jihadists gets intentionally infected, comes across the Southern border, splits up to different regions of the country, and TRIES to spread it to as many people as possible in various locations. THAT would probably be worse than setting off a nuclear bomb somewhere. Each and every one of them would essentially be a ‘smart’ biological weapon! Granted, that’s a worst case scenario, but certainly if *I* can think of it, they SURE as hell have....

You didn’t really expect a latina lesbian to be other than a affirmative action placeholder did you?

The problem is the disease has an incubation period of 21 days. So if they are back to work in 15, that could be a problem.

This is a disaster. I’m really starting to think the FEMA camp “conspiracy theory” might be a real plan here.

Lupe is running for reelection. Send her a BIG message.

Also in 2010, Sheriff Valdez was elected to the Democratic National Committee[8] and was appointed by President Barack Obama to a committee regarding immigration reform.(from wiki entry)

The freepin ebola experts have assured us ebola can not spread here like in 3rd world countries. We are educated and wash our hands and stuff.

Hey, where can I get one of those nifty pressure washers like in the photo?

Great they are probably all infected. Moreover, they are going to infect their entire office.

It does not take 7 people to get one woman to sign a piece of paper. In fact, she doesn’t need to sign anything. Tape the orders to her door and be done with it.

IOW, those LEOs are nothing but sheeple being lead by an idiot elected sheriff. Those officers should have turned in their badges and gone straight to the msm with their stories. Dallas, your ELECTED sheriff just put you all at greater risk. Kick his butt out of office immediately.
