I'm a Texan. Cover the horse's eyes, folks. Maybe his nostrils as well if you have time. Horses panic around fire and try to stay where they feel safe. If they can't see the fire and the smell is only of smoke, they'll revert to their training and allow themselves to be led...usually.

[@Lorne-u2h]

[@sapiophile545]

Thanks for helping

[@Kim-hu9br]

Definitely cops and firefighters are the most underpaid for putting their lives on the line, and leaving their house every day, not knowing if they’ll be returning. Bad people are in every profession. All of them. But the good guys, deserve recognition, and our respect. ❤ Cops shouldn’t be solo, and in truth, especially women, let alone a pregnant one. I honestly think women cops are more of a liability, and make better detectives, but they usually have to have street time first to qualify. And their voices, sorry, were just not commanding. Not scary, just screechy. They naturally raise a feeling of resistance. Who would bow to that? Like a kindergartner child yelling at you. Not threatening, just annoying. Just being honest. I’m sure some women cops have more presence, but some of them had no business being on a beat. Ever. That pregnant one ran like a girl, as we used to say. Flopping all over the place. No form whatsoever. Just how PG was she, I wonder. Ran like she was 5 months along. Women have taken “equality” too far. It was a stupid goal to begin with because we’re NOT equal. We’re supposed to complement each other and fill in each other’s gaps, not be all things. And men saying they want to be women are just men afraid to be men. But they are men. The sooner they face that, the better. And vice versa. Just more honesty. Pervy bosses and equal pay for equal work is what started this mess…(sorry, Ben Shapiro, women aren’t complaining about jobs where men do something totally different. Women’s complaints are for the SAME job with the SAME output and often even MORE output and MORE productivity. He’s often right but sometimes so arrogantly wrong). Women who did the exact same job (no heavy lifting, same identical job skill set, nothing that has any physical effort, would indeed get less pay, and yes, it could easily be 40% less. I heard all kinds of excuses from bosses, “well, he has a family to support, so he needs more money”, or “he’s dating, that costs money”…as of being a woman and having to buy all the things women need just for basic hygiene, let alone paying for rent, that isn’t cheaper because you’re a woman, paying more for clothes, even a simple haircut (and no, people like Ben, trimming the ends and bangs is not “harder because it’s longer”. A man’s haircut can be more complicated than a woman’s. Women paid and probably still do more for dry cleaning. Smaller clothes, they were charged more money, maybe still are, with the same types of fabric so the Ben types can’t try that excuse. So if anything, being a single WOMAN is much more expensive, especially when this all started. She’s got to have safety, too, and it’s not like men are buying her lunches and dinners (bosses used to have that attitude, too, like “you don’t need money, men will take care of you”. Oh, sure, so we are…whores? With sugar daddies? It was BAD. I used to get far more done than the “I’m a dude, don’t have to work, I can slack off and dump it all on you” guys at work. My job even had more need for knowledge, more skill required and still men would get more because they were men “and they need more than you do”. Bosses saw women as frivolous and spenders that really didn’t have any legit expenses. It’s better now, but absolutely men got paid $1 to 60¢ to women for the SAME, yes the same or even harder, more important, more skilled work. Ben has this attitude that women are comparing typing in an office to laying brick. Not so. But he also thinks everyone has a college degree and works where people actually follow rules and laws. In other words, he doesn’t live in the real world. Women also have no business in the military at all. They’re also a liability and a distraction. Soldiers need to FOCUS. Their lives depend on it. Our country depends on it. Women are a distraction to straight men, and homosexual men are distracted, so common sense says only straight men should be in the military. Their lives are on the line. It’s not about who can do what. It’s about being practical. Solders say the women are a distraction. One said 30% of the women in his unit got pregnant “pretty much immediately”. I don’t think it’s any different with the police. A man’s instinct is to protect. A woman has the same instinct, or some of us do, just ask a mama bear. We defend the weaker things as well. But we also ARE the weaker things, too compared to men. And while we can protect to some degree, clearly these women were overpowered. Even with a weapon. They also probably failed to fire their weapon when they should have. Male cops need a partner they don’t have to worry about and have no natural instinct to have to protect, too. A male partner of course he will also have an instinct to protect out of duty, but his partner will be strong enough to be a reliable teammate, not a liability. Women hate it, but it’s true. We can jump in and help when bystanding and do a great job. Women cops have done great, heroic things, no question. But idk, overall, it’s just generally not a good idea. They’re good for security for schools, (if they don’t get an attitude and they usually do, so their attitudes are usually crap, and tbh, every female cop I’ve ever dealt with was either incredibly stupid, or arrogant with a chip on her shoulder, or both), they’re good for detective work, but not for chasing and trying to subdue smack heads who also lift at the gym, especially without a partner, without extreme fitness (some of these women cops are not remotely fit enough). Sorry, sisterhood, know when you are out of your depth. Stop trying to prove something that you’re not actually capable of doing. You actually CANNOT “be whatever you aspire to be, if you only try hard enough”. Someone lied to you. Big time.

If you see a police officer who needs help, the best course of action is to inform the officer that you are there to help and ask what they need you to do. If you are armed, you should inform the officer. It is better to not take unilateral action to help an officer, which could put you and the officer at a greater risk without at least informing the officer what you are doing. They might perceive that you are joining the fight against them if you don't tell them otherwise. Of course, time is a consideration.

I was given my first rifle at 12 years old , taught to use it safely, taught to hunt safely. In Texas we are ALL armed and have one of the lowest firearm murder rates in America …. The states with the strictest firearm laws have the highest murder rates ( because innocent people are not allowed to defend themselves)

I agree, pregnant cops shouldn’t be in the field.

Like that Houston, Astros hat! Gained a fan in Texas 😂

[@ParaNoid816]

That pizza guy was offered a job by the police department. He refused 😂

Unfortunately, it's all too common for civilian men to have to come help female cops subdue male suspects.

The guy in white would probably be the first to call the police if he were in any kind of danger, and then would stand by and watch the cop get killed. What a jerk!

[@shannonpeterson3467]

It is situations like these that really make me wonder why some departments have cops patrol alone. I know funds might be tight and all, but it’s flipping dangerous for everyone involved.

She is a police officer because she wants to help her fellow citizens and as an American she has the right to chose when it's time to stop.

[@LindaSmith-r2f]

Police officers are more and more being hobbled by what they can and can't do. Thank God for the brave who stop and help.

[@Mexican_Marauder]

They get recognition from the department and or the city.

Everardo Navarro is the sickest name

[@Eclipse-lw4vf]

shouting "I aint do nothing" at a random passerby as u commit a felony running from the cops., is def up there on my list of worst things to say

[@mitzloo1933]

Weird to laugh as a single police officer is being assaulted by two or three criminals.

[@SnowLady_164]

"I'm not dying for that!" Did I just hear a grown man say that? I felt bad, for his dad. There are cowards, that will do nothing. They would just stand by, and watch a person die. Then, there are hero's, that take a stand. Hero's, will risk everything to save a life. I would feel ashamed, if I raised a coward.

You are your best first responder

[@andrewbatts7678]

The good Samaritan that tripped the guy would likely have been charged with assault

5:50 that car blew up just a few short minutes after they got the passengers out
