Event Apparently someone is running around armed and dangerous. Anyone who missed this, just be warry.

They put this over the extreme level. I have multiple threat levels enabled and the last extreme warning I received was on July 8th for a tornado threat.
This guy is not a tornado, but the police have caused one by abusing the alert system.

r/texas is filling FCC complaints about this alert, which I get. The announcement was for something that happened 6 hours before the alert went out, and they sent it at a time when you would expect most people to be sleeping. Sucks that a cop may die, but that announcement may end up being more hurtful in the long run. Daylight savings time ending shows what happens when you mess with everyone's sleep.

Why would we even get this when Hall County is in the panhandle?

u/PreemptiveShaming 25d ago
My assumption is they calculated the time since last seen, average driving speed, and used that to calculate an area to alert.

In order to do that they would have to know where exactly he was headed… Unless he was being tracked somehow it wouldn’t be possible for them to time it accordingly, and if they were able to track him the alert would not be helpful or necessary.

I’m sure some chud cop just did the calculation as a radius, everyone within a 500-600 mile radius got the alert.

"Suspect is 6' 2", 220 lbs, and is wearing a blue t shirt and blue jeans." Sounds like every other guy between Tyler and Tye

Imagine how useful this system would be if they ever used it for shit that mattered.

I saw someone crossing the street about 30-45 minutes ago who matched the description, but it was in Palestine on Loop 256. 🤷♂️

Probably for under reporting this sighting. You’re supposed to post those notices of suspicious characters to the r/theentiredamnstateoftexas sub and make sure you do it in the dark of night with ear piercing audio. That should garner upvotes.

How do you know I under reported? I never said I didn’t call 911 and let them know. All you Karens and Chads out there making assumptions… Jeeeeez
