Fuck Trump.
Fuck anyone who voted for him.
And fuck any police personnel who give the owner of this truck a hard time.

For anyone counting, this one IS a first amendment issue, what with the sheriff and that prosecutor saying they will try to bring charges. That is the government trying to suppress free speech (as opposed to twitter removing a checkmark, which is not). Now lets see those self styled libertarians on the alt!right condemn this? No, didn’t think so.

  Yeah, it’s weird to actually see a First Amendment violation happening for real, rather than some crybabies on twitter getting upset a corporate entity took a marker away from their name.

  Yeah, I must say- between attempting to silence football players peacefully kneeling for the anthem, and the legal inconsistency of this dingaling sheriff, conservative free speech purists who complain about liberal “snowflakes” are very, very quickly losing any credibility they may have once had.

I live in Fort Bend County where this guy is sheriff. I’ve also seen this truck several times. I guarantee that the person who complained was one of the sheriff’s donors and supporters. This is clear cut 1st amendment. They want her to take it off and she is saying no. The man even held a press conference about it. Nothing makes sense anymore.

  HEY! Fellow Ft. Bend resident here. I’ve met Nehls and his brother several times, generally good guys, but you can tell that they’re more politicians than LEOs. Hell, I called Troy’s eventual run for Congress years ago, as you could tell where his career path was written if you saw how he operated. This is pandering to the Republican base for his political future.
  Fun fact: Even though Fort Bend County has recently been a Republican stronghold (for those that don’t know, Tom DeLay was our Representative), Hillary won the county wide vote last year.

  Yes Ft.Bend demographics have changed to where this will be a solidly blue county from here on. But you are correct. Both of the twins have had bigger aspirations than law enforcement. I worked security at First Colony and that is how I came into contact with them. Nice guys on a personal level but they are red through and through. Also like I was telling someone else. For him to get to be sheriff after the guy who was there forever, he had to have serious backing. He is going to give Pete Olsen a serious race for the first time.

Real World Tip: if a law enforcement official ever calls you up and suggests that you should “just come by the station” so “we can talk about this” and “get it worked out” without a lawyer present, politely decline.

  Or, tell him to fuck himself, and when he’s finished he can clean up and call your lawyer.

  This actually happened to me last week.... after deciding it was a trap all day,I went through with it and turns out it was actually to be served a subpoena to show up in court as a witness to my neighbor’s disorderly conduct charge.
  Unless the court date is the trap.
  Shit.

Reminder when these Trump asshats want to complain about people not respecting Monorail. Remind them of their “kindness” towards Obama.

  Is a sheriff’s horse also a sheriff? The human sheriff said something stupid about the crowd we were in and I said, “That’s some bullshit,” to no one in particular. And then the horse immediately started moving around and made that ‘phhfff’ sound and I can’t be certain but I think he was agreeing with me. That’s as close as I can come to meaningful.

“However, Nehls did stand firm that he wanted to avoid any situation where the sign on the truck could lead to an unwanted confrontation.
“I don’t want to see anything happen to anyone,” Nehls said. “With people’s ... mindset today, that’s the last thing we need, a breach of the peace.”
THAT’S A REAL NICE TRUCK YOU GOT THERE, MA’AM....SHAME IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO IT

I would have a bit of empathy for the Sheriff’s statements about simply wanting to avoid potential trouble if I believed for one second he’d have reacted similarly to a sign saying the same about Obama. We all know there’s fucking way he’d have raised so much as an eyebrow.
So fuck Trump, fuck the people who voted for him, and fuck this sheriff too.

  If he wanted to avoid trouble, he ought not to have gone into law enforcement. Law enforcement is all about being involved in trouble.

Sounds to me more like the Sheriff is saying “we’re getting a lot of fucking phone calls about this and it’s annoying. Can you just be a good neighbor and take it down so all these people STFU and leave us alone”.
I don’t think he wants to press charges, I just think he’s trying to broker a resolution between two groups of people, one of whom is very heated. This is literally what police are supposed to do, defuse disagreements between citizens. Quite often a positive outcome is everyone just agreeing to give in to settle issues whether they are right or wrong.
This is textbook proactive policing, addressing issues before they escalate to bigger problems that have to be dealt with by arrest and punishment. If the police are doing their job well (which is almost impossible due to the climate of responding to incidents before they can deescalate the situation) things are handled before they become an issue, they act like parents bringing a little calm to a dispute and asking you to give in to others even if you aren’t in the wrong isn’t some radical and out of line thing. Whether you choose to is your right but to be offended at simply being asked is a little over the top.
If they want to keep it great and that’s fully their right but for him to not to bridge an issue that is obviously taking police resources and could possibly lead to some kind of incident later (vandalism, threats which would need to be investigated, etc.) he would not be doing his job.
Sorry but I agree with them keeping their sticker if they want to, I also don’t fault the Sheriff for attempting to have a discussion with the truck owner to deescalate any possible future issues and free up department resources. This is his job.

  “I just think he’s trying to broker a resolution between two groups of people, one of whom is very heated”.
  “I also don’t fault the Sheriff for attempting to have a discussion with the truck owner to deescalate any possible future issues and free up department resources. This is his job”.
  You already know the sticker is protected, no problems there. The sheriff is addressing the truck’s owner. The truck’s owner would be the victim of any vandalism or threats. The one heated side here is populated by the people using the police department resources to call and report a constitutionally protected, non-criminal sticker simply because they don’t like it. Why is the sheriff’s job not to demand they stop tying up the lines with non-enforceable requests? Why would it be his job to hold a potential victim responsible for a caller’s misunderstanding/misapplication of the law? That’s like saying it’s the principal’s job, upon seeing a male teacher staring, to deescalate a potential situation by pulling a little girl out of class to suggest she wear longer shorts because her legs may cause one heated side to harass her.
  Help me understand the urge to ‘both sides’ everything. The callers have no valid side. There is nothing to broker. There is a truck owner in compliance with the law, and there is a group of people who believe their opinions should be treated as equal to the law, or more valid than the law. They are wrong. Why entertain what is objectively false?

  Just because you’re not wrong doesn’t mean you don’t sometimes give in, it’s called being considerate of other people. It’s your right not to but that’s not even what I’m arguing. I’m arguing against attack the Sheriff for simply trying to get in touch with these people to let them know about the public anger about it.
  However since you brought it up it’s just being respectful of other people. There’s a way to voice your discontent with a political figure without saying fuck multiple times, some people are prudish and find it offensive. Just like you’ll get scolded sometimes for swearing in front of someone’s child in line at a store. So you have these people now AND die hard Trump supporters that are all angry at you and angry enough that they are calling the cops about it OFTEN.
  I’m not saying AT ALL that they should take their sticker down if they don’t want to. I’m also saying the Sheriff is not a bad guy for trying to reach out to let them know LOTS of people are calling very angry with complaints. That’s how you head off problems, him telling them what the situation is should be part of his job.
  Not everything is a question of who is legally right or wrong, there are plenty of stupid things in this world that can be avoided through dialogue. The Sheriff wanting to contact this guy to give him a warning about the people in his community now being angry with him is a part of his job.
  There’s a big difference between him trying to suppress his protected right to free speech and telling him, “hey, people are pretty angry this could turn into an issue for you in the future”. At this point the person can make an informed decision about encountering potential vandalism, road rage or even just people being rude throughout the day.
  You’re trying to make an argument with me about something I didn’t write. I am NEVER saying the sticker should go if they want to keep it, I’m just saying cops are supposed to address things that people are angry about - right or wrong, rational or not. Many crimes are outbursts of frustration over very irrational things.
