Have A Death Wish?  
 
Texas police academy instructor is letting protesters know that any gun owner in Texas can use deadly force to stop vandalism, destruction, or the defacing of any monuments or statues in Texas.
 
“As a police officer and police academy instructor, I am posting this as a public service announcement.”
 
Texas Police Academy Instructor Phil Ryan warns all Antifa and BLM protesters, and anyone else interested in defacing their state statues, that if they bring their attitude to Texas, they could end up dead.

Ryan posted this warning to his Facebook page:

  1. What a police academy instructor says is IRRELEVANT. What matters is what THE LAW says. So don't take his advice. READ THE LAW. I suspect Texas law is essentially the same as most other states in that the use of deadly force is reserved for protection of life and health. NOT for punishing vandals. Nobody should make the mistake of taking the legal advice of a cop. The DA won't care and WILL prosecute.

    2. Would YOU want to be the test case? Many a good citizen has been ruined by a zealous DA with an agenda regardless of how obvious their innocence. And Texas law does NOT preclude a federal prosecution for civil rights violations.

      There should only be state laws, period. Vote with your feet.

  2. This calls to mind an apt quote:
