Police Sergeant Arrested for Retaliatory Behavior

I was under the impression that someone could not be arrested for threats.  How many times do you hear that someone has to actually do something before the police can act.  I guess he was arrested because he was law enforcement and we are suppose to hate police in this time of letting criminals run wild!

Words alone can get you locked up in county jail.  Don't learn from what people tell you, don't rely on any officers single piece of advice, take a good look at the law's because knowing what's legal and what's not will keep you from feeling stupid later.  Lesson number 1 here... record every conversation that you have when there is conflict... you will need it when the police ask you to prove someone "threatened" you. If you did all those things... the d.a. won't pursue the charges and you'll be known for calling the cops.  The Houston murders by that dude who was on bond for 7 felony charges is a great example of how out of control OUR state is when it comes to that... another local example is that crash on Christoval Rd. that killed that marine... a repeat DWI offender was on bond for DWI again and led to a soldiers death because dude was drunk and behind the wheel AGAIN, AGAIN!  Maybe Abbott should take a look at pushing for some accountability. At what number of felonies do we quit giving these repeat screw ups the chance to be free? Hint, it's at the discretion of the local judges and state and county attorney's. I'm watching for my chance to vote for change... sad to say but as much as I respect and admire our judicial representatives, I don't place them on a West Texas pedestal, they are people, prone to mistakes and purposeful misdeeds... I don't think it would take much to see the atmosphere change but I'm open to hear what others think.
