Via Insty, I see this little story:
Hundreds of California cops are fleeing to Texas to escape ‘soft-on-crime’ policies they say have made their jobs ‘pointless’, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Rank-and-file officers up to department chiefs have hit out at state legislators, claiming a succession of ‘anti-law enforcement’ policies have made their work impossible.
Overworked and unsupported, they have instead taken up jobs in Texas and other states that are seen as tough on crime.
Well, if we’re going to have ANY Californians come over here, it might as well be cops…
…as long as they leave their California-law-enforcement attitudes towards guns behind them and act like, say, a country Texas cop from Bastrop, Mineral Wells or somewhere like that, where things like this aren’t eeeeevil.
Otherwise, they can just carry on through Texas and head up north to Illinois. Oh wait, that’s what they’re trying to get away from.
So come on over, folks, and have some Texas BBQ. Just behave yourselves, and we’ll get on just fine.
Update: I see that TxGov Abbott has also got into the spirit of the thing.
