Those are Texans.

Texans do not intimate; they do the intimidating. You kill one of us; you are gonna have to kill a whole mess of pissed off friends and kin next.

God Bless Texas

I thought so too. Must be a bunch of white hating libtards. The move reeks of Alinsky. Destroy the army and police by infiltrating their ranks the same way Odumbo placed fags in the army.

I look at this as the same as the men that showed up at the military recruiters office after pearl harbor.....some of the best people are motivated to do the best after the worst has happen. real Americans don’t run from a problem they head strait into it...

Is it patriotism? Idealism?

Maybe it’s just that the economy is so bad that whenever five jobs open up, thousands of applications come in.

He said “put in an application” like you’re going to work at Walmart. Not that easy to be a cop. Most departments want at least a BA in Criminal Justice, some want a BS. Then after you get that off to the police academy. On top of that you have to pass a lenthy background investigation. So it’s a a lot than coming on down and putting in an application.

I for one get tired of the nattering nabobs of demoralization who want to find something negative in every. damn. thing.
America is over and done. There’s no hope. We might as well roll over and die-—— NOT.
