27. If they had not been there to provide a barrier, there could have been a serious incident

Those guys would have "felt threatened" by the crowd, jumped off that truck, proboably showing arms and basically started a riot which was their intent. Serious injuries and possibly deaths would have been the result. The police surrounded the truck to keep them in check ; they were there to provide a barrier between the two groups.Those rednecks are just itching to start up a war - Pumpkin Spice Pol Pot has revved them up so tightly they would have blown gaskets on that crowd if those police officers had not been there.

This past week there have been several incidents with this crowd, they even stopped the campaign bus on the interstate. They have caused trouble all along the route that bus was taking. There were memes on Facebook calling them in to 'welcome' Kamala to Fort Worth yesterday. Scary.

Tuesday is going to be a very hairy day. I am glad I am not an election judge this time. Watching that bunch of assholes parade around all week has me worried about our polling locations. I expect to see stuff like this all day Tuesday; probably in the largely minority areas. We have 300 voting locations and that will spread the police pretty thin.

I have seen the FWPD do this when we had protest marches; get between us and any hecklers - form a human barrier between us and the hecklers. They have never been anything but polite to us and have kept people from bothering us.

It is much more disturbing that these maggots are on the verge of exploding. I think the voters were more upset that they were there than the police.

One time we had a bunch of awful hecklers at a march; the law enforcement officers (county constables and city police) told us they could not make them leave as long as they stayed on the courthouse lawn, but if they stepped out into our permitted area (the street, for our protest) they would locke them up. So they kept getting more and more obnoxious so the police and sheriff dept guys encircled them and kept them isolated so we could go on and do what we came to do.

I also watched a group of cops surround a man almost twice their size and walk him away from us because he was threatening us. That was another situation that could have gotten nasty real fast if they had not been there.
