Honestly there’s a lot of sneaky voter suppression that goes on here and we’re gerrymandered to hell. I think in 2020 all of Houston had like 4 ballot dropoffs? So that means a lot of residents would be driving an hour both ways to drop off a vote. Personally my library has changed precincts the night before voting day a few times. I’ve had to tell people that lived in the same apartment complex that their polling stations were 30 minutes apart.

My city actually does have a separate unit, but like they’re still armed police, and they’re still a part of the police department. They also have like zero access to any extra resources. It’s honestly sad. They hosted a training session for my department (library) once and it was not apparent how they differed from the police in any way other than extra training. I’m sure if I called them on a patron they’d be so chill that I got a special unit to come out. /s

This boggles my mind too. People were coming to kill him and he remained pretty loyal to the party and trump. Until recently he never really said anything, and even the comments he has made are lukewarm at best.
