Armed Texas game wardens surround a group of individuals who stole a mail truck to escape the flooded areas of New Orleans East August 31, 2005. The people were freed but forced to continue on foot. Authorities struggled on Wednesday to evacuate thousands of people from hurricane-battered New Orleans as food and water grew scarce and looters raided stores, while U.S. President George W. Bush said it would take years to recover from the devastation. REUTERS/Rick Wilking

Armed Texas game wardens on the hunt for animals.. sounds good to me!
|
|
If that's the same mail truck, Fox was airing video of them riding around in it earlier this evening.
Good to see some people are finally cracking down. |
|
LOL anyone seen "The party animal"?
"Im not an animal"! ..............."Bullshit! thats an animal"! |
|
Was it full of aluminum cans, headed to Michigan? Oh, wait ... that's Mother's Day weekend, not Labor Day. Sorry. Move along.
|
|
|
All real Texans have at least 2 ARs. |
|
|
Spending 6 hours back in the office processing some guys who stole a mailtruck to flee their neighborhood as it sunk into the ocean and erupted in gunfire might not be the best use of time for 3 well armed police officers. |
|
|
It's the law! In Texas, even the fish and deer are armed. If you're going to be game warden there, you gotta have superior firepower. |

|
Why does it always have to be that way...lol How come everybody seems suprised to see Game Wardens doing general law enforcement, when its commen in most states. Here, we have a limited amount of issued M14s and those of us not lucky enough to get those can carry our own rifle. |
|
|
actually, in texas, game wardens have a buttload of proscribed rights other le folks don't have.
i vote we reestablish their domain to bourbon street for a while, let 'em work off a bit of that flab. folks in luuuuweeezeeeanna have always been pretty nice to me. we owe 'em a favor.... looters suck... |
|
I have a cousin who is a game warden in Lake Isabella in So. Calif., this guy lamented the day that had to carry a gun for his work, funny his dad and my uncle used to go deer and dove hunting together. |

Sheeeeeeeeeeit man, crackas be holdin us down. It is our constitutional right to be lowlife scumbag thugs. It feels good to get back at society by being a walking piece of shit.

HEY! I'm working on it, okay? All I've got in the EBR department is a Kalashnikov! We're not all rich bastards! |

Please only post pics in which cracka's are commiting a crime |
|

That's pretty well much true everywhere. They still need a search warrant for your 'home', but everything else is fair game (pun intended). If they want to search it, it will get searched. I think they only need RAS for cars, deer camp (as long as it isn't your primary residence), boat, your person, etc. |
|
|
Ha! Good on them! Makes me happy to see the scum on their bellies.
Only way it would be better is if they were in an Ice Cream Truck. |
|
|
That's just wrong. Commit a federal offense, theft of Federal property and possibly mail theft, and walk away free men. And don't tell me this "refugee" crap is an excuse. Hundreds of thousands of other NO residents waited to be evacuated by buses provided for that purpose. These are the rats jumping the sinking ship.
How long do you think it will be until some Texan at a rest stop gets his car stolen by these clowns because these officers did not do their job and call DPS to lock them up? Boy that makes me feel safe. I hope I am missing something here and they did not walk. |
|
They should have made them pay to gas the truck back up before letting them go.
|
|
They should have just made them members of "Club Dead" |
|
|
bELIEVE ME. tHE GAME WARDENS PROBABLY FEEL JUST AS SHITTY ABOUT RELEASING THEM AS YOU. iT GOES AGAINST EVERY COP BONE IN AN officers body. Hell, it does me. I'm sure there is exigent circumstances. PS.Sorry didnt mean to shout had my caps on and dont feel like retyping. |
|
|
Texas Game Wardens, at least they got the right agency to handle the animals
|
|
Seems to me that we need to revisit the old West days. Hang the fuckers on the spot, that way it will free the PO-PO up to hang some more scumbags.

Nice catch. It looks like you met your limit. Y'all got a license? |

The Fish Police in Texas have ARs?Yeah, and they have jurisdiction over the entire state. They are much more than fish police. In fact they have more power than the state police. It is not uncommon to include a Texas Game Warden on many raids. they can legally enter a residence without a warrant. This loophole has something to do with poaching and the nature of there job. Game Wardens are common on rural Meth Lab raids because of there search abilities. Of course they are not front line warriors and are backed up by a number of heavily armed LEO's. In fact due to the Federal game laws that the state wardens enforce a local PD can get de facto federal aid in some situations. All that said they are the best they don't want to hassel anyone except game thiefs and those that would dog the enviroment. I have had many beers poured out and my ass chewed by Texas Game Wardens they perfer not to take you in. |
