re: #26 William Lewis
I wonder how many troopers will remember their classes on refusing to obey illegal orders? I also wonder how many other armed veterans will defend those Hispanic citizens, as I will if necessary? I always wonder how much they think these ideas through…
The Texas National Guard is 24% Hispanic. This could get interesting. Abbott’s own official militia, the unpaid and usually unarmed Texas State Guard, is mostly non-Hispanic. If the Guard refused orders, Trump and Abbott would see it as an opportunity to deputize fascist militias, probably in the form of church-based assistance groups
