Does Dallas City Hall Fear White Riots in Amber Guyger Trial? Really and Truly?

[TexasTowelie]

Let’s play a game called, “What is Dallas so worried about?” The city has ordered all of its cops not to take time off beginning this week for the duration of the trial of former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger.

Guyger, who is white, is accused of murder in the Sept. 6, 2018, shooting death of Botham Jean, a 26 year-old accountant killed his own apartment. Jean was black. From the beginning, this case has evoked powerful feelings in the community, not entirely but significantly along racial lines.

So is the city keeping all the cops on call because it is afraid that the white people might riot? Is that it? I’m just asking.

No cops can take time off, and the city must remain on high alert, because city officials are afraid white people will burn the place down if Guyger is convicted. Does that ring true to you?

1. the more likely scenario they fear is

Ms. Guyger will not be held sufficiently accountable

2. I have to agree with Skittles here.

3. Remember what happened in L.A. when the cops that beat Rodney King were

acquitted? That's what they're afraid of.

4. They already know the fix is in. And a good riot...

is a small price to pay for the opportunity to put more “thems” in jail.

5. I think they are more afraid of a cop riot.

Better to keep 'em on duty and under control.
