Did you know that Waller County and the TX Dept of Public Safety agreed to institute de-escalation classes when they settled with the Bland family in the wrongful death suit?

And then LEO backed out and never delivered.

This is such a small thing and it has benefits to law enforcement and the taxpayer, but no, they couldn't even do that.

De-escalation could have made all the difference in the world in Sandra's case.

Then they went to dinner.

"LEO backed out and never delivered."
The pitiful shame of Texas
