Cops creating problems where there aren’t any

Since when is it against the law to study natural weather phenomena? Too bad somebody didn’t just kick the living shit out of the asshole Crane County Sheriff deputy, except I am sure the dickweed cop is more than willing to shoot anyone with the nerve to question his authority, much less lay hands on him. Not to mention the additional serious trouble one would be in for actually beating a stupid cop even though the beating was well-earned.
The worst thing about the whole stinking mess is that the asshole deputy is obviously supported by his asshole boss, Sheriff Robert DeLeon, and the local asshole judges which makes me think the whole matter is just another case of state-sponsored highway robbery. The only reason there was any problem was because there was an asshole cop present.
Crane County Sheriff’s Dept: 432-558-3571. Call em up and tell em they are a bunch of assholes.
UPDATE:
According to the January 31, 2008 edition of El Ave News Weekly, Crane County Sheriff DeLeon is running for re-election. He claims to “Protect and serve the people ‘always’”. Maybe someone could ask Sheriff DeLeon to explain exactly how he was protecting and serving the people by arresting a weather researcher and harassing a news reporter who were providing eyewitness information on a tornado to first response agencies.
Sheriff DeLeon is a Democrat so I suspect the truth of it is that they really need the $2,000. Every opportunity to scrape some money from the citizenry must be availed. All those new programs the Sheriff is so proud of are not cheap, even though they do serve the people.
