Hey, what do you suppose this episode in Texas cost the tax payers?

Question

I'm talking about the police stepping outside of the law and seizing almost 500 children on whim. With court costs army tanks and foster care and ploice what would you guess this cost the tax payers in Texas?

Answer 1

If you are happy to live in a country where any organised group of criminals can do as they please if they claim it is a 'religion', then welcome to the United States of the Middle East.

Any reason why this highly unco-operative bunch of deviants shouldn't be charged with obstructing the police, and made to pay for the cost of the investigation out of their large assets?

Answer 2

Very well said bobgelle.  When an entire country sits by and watches the police step outside of the law and operate on whim , and does nothing about it we all die a little.  After this I refuse to vote at the next election. Not one of those candidates stepped forward to address this violent abuse of human and civil rights.

Answer 3

I believe that the cost to the Constitution may be greater than the dollars. How many people really think the govt has the right to do what they did? Somebody should be tried for violation of oath, or worse!

Answer 4

Hold on a minute befroe you blame the police. Anyone who has any law enforcement experience knows that this case is earmarked with bullying form the local dept. of family and childrens services. The case was worked *** backwards from the beginning as I said in a post when this case got geared up. You never make the charge before collecting your evidence and that is what happened here as a result they had to play catchup with the evidence that wasn't there and now it all gone to sh--. I've seen it a thousand times where family and children services, who don't have authority to remove children from a family setting, pressure the police to do what they did here and then try to make the case and it doesn't work. The sheriff, chief, who ever was in charge of the police should have stoodup and said no until the evidence was collected. A phone call from some unknown person is not evidence. nor is it even a tip. Liberals tend to saturate these family and childrens services and they think they can call the shots for police and the courts but they are now finding out that their plan don't work at anytime anywhere. They are propbably going to pay out of the pocket for this little blunder. The police will say that they were acting out of good faith based upon what the family and childrens services had told them and they were. They may be protected and maybe not. But before you blame the police look a little deeper in the situation.

Answer 5

How much is a child's life worth, if something is or was going on there?
