Thanks for the update. I hadn’t heard this either.

Sounds like even the Police aren’t always safe from the dangers of home invasion.

This IS the follow up on this story. Good for Abilene PD and TEXAS RANGERS for keeping quiet until they closed in for the arrest.

You’d think a local paper would get the news before the NY Daily News, though.

So what? Robbery gone wrong or was he targeted because he was a police officer and they just got greedy?

No more PC crap on FR. We have the right to say what we think without being called “racist”

And no more sarcasm tags from me. If readers can’t figure out from my tagline that I was being sarcastic when I call the word “dreamer” racist, then I just have to live with the fact that I failed to get my meaning across.

Law Enforcement kept quiet while the investigation was ongoing. It seems to me that the lag time between news of his death and the arrests helped to limit its currency in the news. His funeral and the honoring of him were very big local news. Hundreds made his funeral, thousands lined the miles as his remains were brought from his nearby hometown of Clyde to Abilene for the funeral.

Of course I agree with you, that the whole concept of “dreamer” is a made-up concoction of PC crap designed to facilitate the Great Mexican Invasion of the United States.
