Central Texas Law Enforcement Being Trained in Riot Control

"Dozens of McLennan Community College students posed as unruly protesters as part of a Federal Emergency Management Agency training program. Area agencies sent 61 officers to the program at MCC’s Emergency Services Education Center for the course that started Monday and finished Wednesday, training coordinator Jay Fonville said." Waco Tribune

This is just up the road in Waco! Is Georgetown, Round Rock and Cedar Park next?

What is happening in our country that our government and local police think they need training in techniques and methods of riot control? "During classroom sessions and demonstrations, officials learned about large-crowd management, critical thinking, intuitive decision-making skills and the public’s right to peaceably assemble."

Officials in charge anticipate that more training sessions will be held in the future to bring in and train more law enforcement personnel.

Law enforcement are supposed to protect and serve their constituents, not protect the government's interests from the citizens. They have obviously forgotten whom they work for.
