'Police Specialty Courts' will let officers avoid prosecution

According to an article in the Texas Tribune, beginning September 1st., 2017, first responders can avoid prosecution by having 'first responder specialty courts' hear their cases. ("public safety employee" means a peace officer, firefighter, detention officer, county jailer, or emergency medical services employee...”)
"Texas police officers and other first responders who have job-related mental health issues can soon be diverted into pretrial treatment programs if they commit a crime.."
The first question everyone should be asking is, how many mentally ill police officers are there?
Secret courts for cops what a pile of sh...t
Texas House Bill 3391 "relates to the creation of a specialty court for certain public safety employees who commit a criminal offense; imposing fees for participation and testing, counseling, and treatment." (Click here to find out more.)
According to the Texas Legislature Online, not a single politician thought letting police officers avoid prosecution was a bad idea. Gov. Greg Abbott signed the bill in June, along with a handful of other bills that focused on helping police and first responders.
