I am very well of the industry. In Texas, no matter what Insurance you have, you are still a private citizen even though you are commissioned. A lot of companies have use of force policies that are very specific as to what you can and cannot do. They are not immune to civil liability.

Not really a surprise. You have politicians who say you can't do this but then go ahead and do it themselves

Defund the police for you = Private security for me
No Inside Dining for you = Private party for me
No attending any type of sporting event = Great seats for me
No Visting a Hair Stylest for you = No appointment needed for me
Don't Travel = Great time to send the family out of town

Brings to mind the unlicensed security guard hired by a station in Denver that killed a Trump supporter and is charged with second degree murder.

Don’t forget no in-person public school for your child = in-person private school for my child.

The people that live in the rough neighborhoods around St. Louis and other metros deal with far far crazier than Greene and they're packing heat.

Ever um, stop and consider that and how it's working out for people living in those neighborhoods?

She is happy to spend our tax dollars on private security for herself while actively trying to defund our tax payer funded security, the police.
