    Where’s the story here? No charges filed. Nothing happened.

    What’s the point of this story?

      You don’t find it newsworthy that a cop wanted to use his badge to (at minimum) intimidate librarians and (at worst) charge them with trumped up bullshit?

      Why is this greaseball employed if he can’t find something better to do with his time than to make sure people can’t read the books he hates?

      The point is to try to stop taxpayer money directly funding fascism. Unfortunately it’s Texas, so there’s no real way around that given the current state government.

      Sure sure. Two librarians were harassed and one was driven out of her job because of the investigation. But there were no charges, so everything is peachy, right?

      True, cops using their power to destroy people’s lives for political reasons is not much of a story in America anymore.

      But it should be.
