He didn't proactively "publicize" it, it came out in response to my questions and I latched onto it b/c I thought it was newsworthy. They've been doing this for some time and he hasn't publicized it at all, he just didn't conceal it under questioning.<br /><br />Vickers was an Abilene cop for 27 years and my sense is he has no aspirations for public office and this may be his last stop before retirement. I give him credit for actively enforcing the law when his predecessors did not.<br /><br />And to 2:36, fwiw the threat assessment was done for for free by somebody who works at the AG who had extensive dignitary protection background from their military service. It wasn't some outside consultant.Gritsforbreakfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152152869466958902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-40062888497628143352013-04-19T15:58:22.989-05:002013-04-19T15:58:22.989-05:00All politicians want to be surrounded by armed gua...All politicians want to be surrounded by armed guards. It makes them (seem) significant. What office is Vicker's seeking? Why would he publicize this given that his agency can commission officers? Sounds like he has future plansAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-22299858829738368312013-04-18T19:37:21.328-05:002013-04-18T19:37:21.328-05:00When the Kaufman DA was murdered the media wondere...When the Kaufman DA was murdered the media wondered, Is it the Aryan Brotherhood?

To add insult, putting only 2 investigators on the job is a red flag pointing to a cover up from the top. Texas has an abundance of real certified investigators in need of employment and the money to fund it. If they wish to fall on this sorry excuse then we need file for bankruptcy, disban the TCLEOSE, call in the G-Men and not Barney's Fifes' cousins. <br /><br />To obtain an as needed security detail based on a 47 page assessment has one wondering how much he invoiced for it & just how gullible these fools are. If you are afraid of the disgruntled to the point of needing your hand held during the work day, you should watch more TV. <br /><br />Prediction. This will lead to a run on security blankets and live-in details due to the tide turning where they eat their own while blaming it on anything with a heart beat & criminal record.<br /><br />LOL naked and rolling in it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-75506475760045567352013-04-17T13:37:26.930-05:002013-04-17T13:37:26.930-05:00LOL

It clarifies some points. As for the armed guards, one has to ask when those who justified a security detail because of the Kaufman County homicides will drop them (thereby saving thousands in taxpayer funds) now that they claim they have solved the case. Just wondering.
