Abusing Amber Alerts

by | Aug 14, 2020

From KSAT.com:

South Texas parents wanted in abduction of their 5 children; AMBER Alert issued

“CPS officials were going to take custody of the children because of the parent’s involvement with drugs, sheriff’s officials said.”

So they abuse the Amber Alert system, which is supposed to only be used to save children who have been abducted by strangers for presumably the most heinous criminal purposes to try to deputize every day Texans to hunt down this family who for all we know is accused of smoking pot or having an expired bottle of prescription pills laying around the house.

Instead the cops and their always-faithful servants in the local media use and abuse and wear the system out by crying “wolf” in this way and making people — such as myself — always suspicious that the government is trying to fool me into acting as their agent against people who I presume to be completely innocent, such as parents accused of “abducting” their own children from what I know to be a corrupt, unaccountable, lawless police state. In this case, I looked twice, and of course I was right. They did it again.

David Ibañez of KSAT, you are a bad person for carrying the government’s water on this case and endangering ****ACTUAL**** kidnapping victims in the future with your reckless toadying for the enemy, the state. You presume them guilty since the government says so, but in fact that makes you guilty, and a fool.

For shame.
