Yet another local police registry project. Today? Texas.
Tomorrow…?
I’m beginning to smell Police Unions… extending their influence… hardwiring yet another social service into the cop/surveillance/education/prison system.
Both for power and job security.

I believe strongly that no human services interaction should involve a human with a gun… unless overt signs of mortal violence are clearly evident.

Are NOT the folks to handle any of your social services.
IMHO…
