A school district and local prosecutors in Texas are refusing to drop charges against an 11-year-old who was held in solitary confinement.
Officers detained the boy and placed him in solitary confinement for three days at the Darrell B. Hester Juvenile Detention Center. Cameron County prosecutors argued for charges of “terroristic threat.”
Despite being accused of ignoring Texas laws which require parental involvement before such interventions, Cameron County District Attorney Rene Garza told a hearing Wednesday that his office was gathering further evidence against Murray, rather than deciding to drop the charges.

How can this keep getting worse and more ridiculous at the same time? WHAT DO I DO WHEN ALLCAPS AREN’T ENOUGH?
Okay, I give up. Is rule of law no longer a thing? Like people aren’t even pretending anymore?

Laws don’t matter when it is a Republican Official or a Wealthy Republican or a well connected Republican.
It is and it’s working perfectly. It is utilized or ignored as needed to ensure the right people are kept down.
