Mass Journalist Arrests in Texas Today!

Everyone holding a camera was arrested

Today in Texas over 12 journalists and activists were set up at a fake press conference and then attacked and arrested by Texas State and Leon Valley Police.

They are claiming they want to charge them under Texas Penal Code 36.06 because police say they are responsible for comments on their channels that the police took offense to. Here's a quick video that gives you the cliff notes of what happened on the ground.

Sort:  

I live in Hays County, Texas. The local constable Ray Helm has a guy on his staff who tried to get a citizen arrested for speaking out at a public hearing.

More social workers, abolish police.

I dont follow clips so I'll have to do more research but if dome protesters were defacing property thats bad. I agree with protesters until public property is defaced or people are hurt. I will definitely look into it but in most cases when videos don't show everything I tend to be hesitant and just wait things out. I like facts so at times I wait for more truths before reacting to news.

Evil is at it's strongest when it can hide in the darkness and operate from the shadows. Don't ever stop doing what you do, Gavin. The people need to know what is going on in the United States of Police. Resteemed

What a bunch of crooked cops. They're supposed to be protecting the freedom of the press, not crushing it.

RE Steemed!!! Oh the cops are going to have real fun with me if I ever see the day that I become an open carry patriot. Seriously, I won't be afraid to challenge one of these coward PIGs to a duel. Welcome to the NEW West!!!

These jackasses wear body armor, paid for by taxpayers, to protect the Public! They would Murder you, then blame you before they released your body to your family!

These are Gestapo, and the local community must remove them, for cause, with no retirement or unemployment pay! Fire enough of these vermin, and the rest will at least take notice and behave!

Texas...time to take out the trash; including the highway patrol involved! No one else can do so legally, but YOU can burn their vermin asses! Unemploy the entire bunch!

I have lived in an area with many people that open carry. I know almost none of them that wouldn't completely avoid you. I couldn't more strongly disparage your comment.

Where people open carry, most of them are friendly with police, and police aren't doing crap like this. Police are doing bad crap everywhere, but they are quite polite to folks in areas where open carry is common.

You wouldn't fit in there.

Un-Constitutional and I am so disappointed that the state highway patrol was involved! BTW; I will again capitolize the state highway patrol; WHEN THEY EARN IT! >:(

You expect some of these small towns to act stupid, while they are being removed for cause; but it is infuriating to see the state stoop to this level!

They have One Job...to protect the public; dysmal job failure here, fire them!

Resteemed! >:(

The Supreme Kangaroo Court has ruled that the police have no duty to protect and serve. Just enforce lawlessness. They are nothing more then lawless killers. BluISIS as Gavin says LOL. We all need to start calling these lawless killers that.

We had a Sheriff here that was mistreating prisoners. We removed him, for cause, and had several deputies put in Prison! They would not try this crap here; they have Zero protection from their Employers! Their Employers have the authority, to Remove those that ignore the law.

That Sheriff was removed, not just voted out. Had to vote in an intrim Sheriff, but it was well worth it!

Texas can take out the trash, without blood in the streets.... :)

AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY NEED TO DO SO!

Put a few of the Hitler wanna be's in prison, and fire the rest, and the replacements will be of better quality!

There are solutions to this problem. Holding cameras in your hands has become equivalent to painting a target on you. There are ways to conceal cameras, have remote cameras, and other means of getting video.

The tow companies are quite corrupt. I have few industries that I consider more essential than wrecking companies, and my familiarity with various operators has left no doubt that many nefarious acts are standard operating procedure.

As to leaving the US, globalism will leave no stone unturned. You may buy time being further from the epicenter of the oppression, but it will reach everywhere. I'm glad you're reaching out from your present location to keep us informed.

Thanks!
