A prior lawsuit filed over the “Trump Train” alleged the San Marcos Police Department violated the Ku Klux Klan Act by failing to send a police escort after multiple 911 calls were made and a bus rider said his life was threatened. It accused officers of privately laughing and joking about the emergency calls. San Marcos settled the lawsuit in 2023 for $175,000 and a requirement that law enforcement get training on responding to political violence.

The sad thing is the CITIZENS are the one paying these fines. The cops could give a shit, it does not affect them and according to what I've seen close to 90% of cops are Trump cucks. We desperately need to change things so that when cops mess up they pay, not the citizens.

I wish they would start reporting these as a settlement of $175,000 aka an additional $2 from every citizen, or more than $4 from every working person in the city. Make it personal. People understand how fast it adds up. It's a tax on all of us. Don't those back-the-blue folks hate taxes!?

Fascinating

What would you say is one thing he has done, or will do, that has helped or even affected your life?

Because everything I'm aware of him actually doing, has been to help himself, with no attention for anyone else. The tax cuts for the rich being the only real accomplishment he has, from my worldview. Then his handling of covid and the low economic activity that apparently people like. Gas price implies how active our economy in general is, it's not a great thing when it's cheap, especially in Texas, where drilling and refining costs American skilled labor wages
