      Oh stop.

      Democrats leapt on the “omg they want to abolish all police forever!” Bandwagon as soon as they noticed an opportunity to abandon BLM.

      They replaced the city police with county police. The county will probably need to hire a few more officers. And what do you know - 5 people were just freed up in Henderson!

    My local Township police department was closed down after the vote to renew the millage (taxes to fund it) failed over a decade ago. Now we just have the local County police coming through instead.

    I know this town. Maybe it’s gotten worse over the years but you NEVER wanted to drink the tap water regardless.

    There is something about “rural” that just seems to attract those types of people, but in particular, “SE of Dallas” seems to be extra-shitty.

    My dad lives in Lancaster, south of Dallas, and it’s generally not too back. But Wilmer and Balch Springs, both “southeast” of Dallas… shitty places.

    Then there’s the poor unincoorporated area of Sand Branch that is also SE of Dallas that is struggling - they’re not shitty, just shitty circumstances given to them…
