I Told HPD That Cornyn Protest Does Not Attack Cops Or Fire FBI Agents-Be Ready For Streets & Cops

Above is a picture of two police officers talking to a member of the John Cornyn Houston Office Protest this past Tuesday. The Cornyn Protest is each Tuesday, 11:30-1, 5300 Memorial Dr. We have been there for 417 weeks. That is 8 years and 1 week.

The officers saw us and stopped. They said they are supposed to stop at any "pop-up protests." We are not a pop-up since we've been there for 417 weeks and we are watched by police every week as it is. 

They were polite, professional and made clear we had a First Amendment right to be there. This post is not a complaint about the officers.

Before the officers left, I highlighted to them our peaceful conduct in contrast to the cop-stomping traitors of January 6th, noted that Trump has pardoned those criminals, pointed out Trump is defunding the FBI and shared that things we've had thrown at us on the corner are batteries, eggs, lit cigars, potatoes and a softball. My colleague you see in the picture told the officers how we got the City of Houston to successfully prosecute a man who threw eggs at us with a misdemeanor. 

They didn't offer any views on our comments--But they heard me. It wasn't hostile. Just the facts. They can decide for themselves where the real trouble is coming from. I'm uncertain what they'll decide. But we told them. 

​There is a lot of trouble ahead. Our freedom is under attack by horrible bigots

Some portion of our politics will be on the streets. We'll be interacting with police officers. We must be ready for it. Nobody in the Cornyn Protest is looking for confrontation. We will speak clearly and be certain police know we are lawful freedom-loving Americans. Because that is exactly what we are. 


I'm on the Egberto Willies Politics Done Right Show every Thursday from 6 AM to 7 AM for the Houston Democracy Project segment. You can hear the show on the radio, stream it on KPFT or watch later Egberto's YouTube channel.​​

Here is a fundraising pitch for the Houston Democracy Project. I'm doing the work and showing up in many different ways.  Please help the effort. ​​​​
